So much love

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

I was asked by EngageHer to paint a portrait of Michelle Obama.  Looking  at a lot of photographs online to find one to work from , I was struck by incredible emotions that come through every image I saw of the First Family .  Yes, there is so much love it is  …. incredible.   I worked on the portrait first, and moved on to execute 7 more paintings.   I am still finishing up details, and my photographs are not that good, but by the summer I will finish and create a book and send it to the White House.

Here are the paintings:

Last week Josh moved my blog to WordPress. I like his design, and this is my first post to try it out.

Alterrealism
I have been thinking a lot about the manifesto…. it came to me that the shortest way to put into
words what I was looking for is to say that the times we are living in are time of transition similar to
the change of Copernicus discovery – we are moving from a linear to a non-linear way of thinking.
It is a transition that will finally bridge Western and Eastern philosophies. We will find ways to
do it, and I believe some philosophers are working on it. What we are doing, is creating a
community to have a platform to work on it together.
