Popped, busted .
somedays I think there is nothing to write about. Usually there is I just do not have the time. We are in such delicate, sensitive, times. Everyone must be blue and black from having their feelings hurt. You should wear a bicycle helmet,(even if you are walking in case you trip) you must not smoke, or eat cheese, you should not allow your children to play tag. W.T.F.
We should drape any and all classical paintings or sculptures depicting any nudity whatsoever. Hello marshmellow universe. Hello cottoncandy brain, hello bubble wrapped britches. hello r.t.f. tag. Throw your banned books in the fire.
Success is "never having to tell people you are successful",
just as fame is "Never having to tell people you are famous",just as exploding is "Never having to tell people you are exploding"
The latest title of my newest fictional work i.e, ergo, what with the this the that and the other thing, is
"my renewed suspension of disbelief systems"
now run all you clever little unimaginative copycats and scatter to the winds and try to beat me to the punch.
Anyone know the name of a portly cock eyed photographer that started honking his horn from a block away to warn me about his attempt to run over me. I do ! Here is a clue he drives a Volvo and his work is boring.

Thems are landscape painters. While on the other hand Picasso, Dali, Sargent, Warhol, Van gogh, Rembrandt, Renoir, Dix and Dixon, Rivera, Khalo,Hockney Bacon, Freud they all did portraits.
My point is that they all had their idiosynchrosies. They all did art that did not really look like one an others. So if you are and artist or an art instructor you must learn, that is Learn, that "the ting is what it is".
Paintings can not look how you would like them to look unless you your self are painting them. Other wise we would all be boring and teaching the same old crap over and over and over and over. loosen up baby. Or get back in your box, where you can be a technician with your narrow minded view of your four brown corregated cardboard walls.
Dear Julie,
Thanks for the warning.
I know , I have been told on numerous occasions about people taking ideas from me. A consequence of painting in public. This sort of thing has been going on through out the ages. That why I have told you in the past that I consider a true painter to be one who tackles or at the very least attempts to paint figures, landscapes, portraits, as well as the abstract. This I think is the difference between the terms artist and painter. As for those who attempt to "Jack" an idea I really feel pity and look at them in a pathetic light, it is clearly a sign of there lack of imagination, originality and creativity. Perhaps with and infertile mind they should reconsider there goals in life. To me there is nothing more fulfilling than the realization of original inspiration. When a person copies works or ideas they lower there love of craft to mere toil and labor.
Lucky for me in my mental file there is always a running list of paintings that I never seem to get through. Some dissolve and new ones emerge or actually executed on canvas.
Your freind Rick

definitely I am not a street artist. I do not create graffiti or wheatpaste posters.
Monet painted out of doors as did Van Gogh, O'keefe just a miriad of painters who did. In fact Monet championed natural light.
