I do think you've gone beyond "ralphing" all over the canvas.

I'll pass the reading recommendations on. Did you know our classmate Chris Cahill spent 2 1/2 years in Antarctica while in the Seabees?

A couple of recommended reads: "The White Lantern" (which includes a fine essay on Antarctic exploration) by Evan Connell), "The Coldest March" by Susan Solomon, and "The Worst Journey in the World," by Apsley Cherry-Gerrard. Quicker and odder: "Encounters at the End of the World," the Werner Herzog "documentary."Dan Brekkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261150572253464576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504231.post-73859180016506081352011-04-07T11:17:38.989-05:002011-04-07T11:17:38.989-05:00You makey me a blog spot?

Some nice work here bub and I know what you mean about the low point of a painting - I start out trance-channeling Vuillard or Fairfield Porter (now you know it's me, Jules!) and find I'm lucky if I look good enough for an elementary school project.

When I referre...Hi Donna, glad you could stop by. <br /><br />When I referred to "minimal publicity," I was talking about publicity by the kind people at Courage and Renewal, North Texas did. They'd never done an event like this and it was a learning curve for them.<br /><br />As to the thousands spent by Fort Worth South, Inc.: while they are a non-profit, they're *not* a charity. The <a href="http://www.fortworthsouth.org/FWS/mission-and-goals.html" rel="nofollow">FWSI website states</a> among its primary goals:<br /><br /> a. Attract new residents and new residential development,<br /> b. Support the growth of the district's existing businesses and institutions and<br /> c. Attract new businesses to the Near Southside.<br /><br />FWSI's board and members are comprised principally of developers and members of the medical industry. While a fun event, Arts Goggle is as much about keeping their property values up as it is the fine arts. We're just another coat of paint on someone's old building. <br /><br />Finally, I spent a week and several hundred dollars getting art framed and in a condition to show (I dare say I'm not alone in this) -- this in addition to the time spent <i>creating</i> the work.<br /><br />While it may have been free to you, the public, I'd hardly call it free for the artists.RCrouchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14699673997355758837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504231.post-7759383676827450812009-10-19T12:49:20.968-05:002009-10-19T12:49:20.968-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07140699052721002348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9504231.post-73290854390239286482009-04-29T02:02:00.000-05:002009-04-29T02:02:00.000-05:00Ron, I have always enjoyed your art.
