Post 12: Podcast

I chose this podcast because I'm making a tiny series of people whose funerals/celebrations of life I've attended and this podcast is an interview with a woman whose husband had passed. I thought it was interesting because while her husband is in a coma, she discovers he's had an affair and blown through much of their money. He passes away without ever getting to confront him or talk to him. I think many people believe it is inappropriate to speak ill of the dead, and that when mourning someones death, people always discuss the happy times and admirable qualities they had. It was interesting to hear about someone who had to go through mourning while also dealing with the betrayal. Death must be so much more complex and difficult to deal with when you have so many questions unanswered.

1 Naked Group Collaborative Painting 

On Saturday I brought this large sheet thing that I was fortunate enough to come across to Sunny Sands during the 8th Annual Florida Young Naturists Naked Spring Bash. I go to many of the bashes and bring supplies to create art with anyone who would like too, but this was the first time I got to do something large scale. I left it up from Saturday at noon until Sunday morning around 10 am. It was really interesting to see how it evolved.

I love the circular aura design around the figures and the cohesive design that carries through each portrait. A circle, a color, a flower, a woman. 

2 Rittstein

I like the idea of diptychs and triptychs but when I see them I wonder if the painting would be just as effective in one piece. This piece interested me and makes me want to separate the top piece and bottom piece an inch or two.

I was attracted to this painting because of the beautiful light that filtered through he trees on the white table cloth and the shiny silver teapot. Usually I don't like still life style paintings but this one is amazing. I like that there's a figure, but the figure isn't the focus which is uncommon.
