"Art Talk" is a place where people can post articles about art and art related subjects. Artists are being invited to write about things like techniques, mediums, genres, art history, current trends, motivators and inspirations, etc. We will even have art reviews on select exhibits, showcase an "artist of the week" and generally have some fun, so please bookmark the site and check in often!Upstairs Artspacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05963813022551972048noreply@blogger.comBlogger5125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786916579922763131.post-35754453833172549572012-04-25T16:29:00.000-07:002012-04-25T16:44:48.916-07:00BLUES HAIKU by Phil Garrett <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cfe2f3;">Working on location is the most natural way for me to produce paintings at this time in my life. These works always come back to the studio for reworking and sometimes complete new approaches but their beginnings are in the natural world. My process has been one that has developed over the years but in many ways remained grounded in certain principals. I have several favorite locals I like to revisit and explore in depth. These include NC Game Lands , PAC Conservancy Land , National and State Parks.<br /><br /><br />I try to approach the landscape with a clear and calm mind. As I hike into an area I allow my senses to open up to light , sound, composition and instinctual emotions that may arise. I also keep my awareness on signs that may present themselves such as animals, unusual formations and other natural elements. When the scene begins to present itself I then spend a few moments becoming familiar with the energy present and my place in it. It is my understanding that this time alone in nature is a gift and my responsibility as an artist is to honor it. As with all quite time the mind is prone to wander and rebel but with practice I have learned to be present with my surroundings.<br /><br /><br />The paintings have gone through several stages over the years and I have continued to work toward finding my own language. Many artist have inspired me over the years and helped me along with my journey. I enjoy working this way and will always have these experiences with me. After a days work I normally walk away with a feeling of gratitude and contentment of having spent several good hours on this blue jewel we call earth. A bow of gratitude is a good way to end the day.<br /><br />Dale McEntire<br /><br />Red Earth Studio<br />http://www.dalemcentireart.com</span><br />

It can be as simple as a clear table , a container with 20 very sharp pencils, and something to draw on, or a place in nature with stones to pile or twigs and vines to weave. It can be </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;">a corner in a room with discarded fabric, threads and a pair of scissors, or any surface with enough space to spread out. Anywhere there is a pile</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;">of inviting books also becomes a studio space. A studio can form in my mind to become a retreat for more ideas.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;">Throughout my life I have been pursuing many different art studies and careers: fashion design/illustration, oil painting, weaving, print making, costuming, abstract expressions, fiber assembling, and teaching. My current mixed media work allows me to use materials from past endeavors to create new forms. I have had many studios in the past and am now fortunate to be in the most peaceful setting with both indoor and outdoor workspaces. Different work stations are set up for painting, sewing, sawing, drilling, drawing, assembling, etc. Keeping order with so many projects going on at once is a problem. Having open studios is the greatest inspiration to reclaim </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;">those areas that have been buried in unfinished projects. When the chore of clean up is done there will even be room for Catherine Gurri (who spent over a year working in the studio) and Bob Neely (who created the sculpture garden and made numerous improvements to the studio building), to be working and displaying their own art.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You leave home in your car on a ten minute drive to the supermarket and you arrive at your destination despite having no conscious memory of the drive. Between home and market your mind has taken off on a circuitous journey all its own, brought on by a simple trigger. Maybe it was the flash of cardinal red across the evergreens or a memory of last night's conversation, but you have departed the here and now and somehow managed to impel a two ton piece of machinery from point A to point B without seeing the road. </span></div>
<div class="post-title entry-title" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px; margin: 0.75em 0px 0px; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my studio I begin a new painting by laying color onto paper, board or canvas. This is my point A. Point B is when I'm standing back and thinking "YES!" with a deep sense of satisfaction radiating through my whole being. But the days, weeks or sometimes even months between those two moments are almost impossible to explain. My paintings are built from that same kind of car story that occurs when reverie replaces reality. One thought leads to another and I am caught up in my own narrative. But just as a writer has to pay attention to details and edit for meaning and flow, I spend a lot of time revising. I read my painting to see what color needs to be emphasized. I edit out marks that distract. I unearth my personal vocabulary of lines and forms that evoke metaphorical color. I search for authentic gestures that activate the surface and bring the composition together. I spend at least as much time reflecting on my work in progress as I do painting it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A friend recently asked me in an email to tell her about my latest painting. Her question made me wonder, does my work contain meaning? What I see in it may not be what another person experiences, which is what I find compelling about creating abstract art. All I can really explain is that I set out from home and after the long and winding road of the unknown, I arrive.</span></div>
