When autumn arrived, I had to slow things WAY down due to the arrival of my daughter, Ivy, my teaching schedule and my MFA work at Texas State University. I've finally finished the commission and continue to work on other commissions for other (very patient) collectors. <br />

I had never attempted a triptych before, but was always fascinated by their narrative potential—like large comic book panels created in oil paints. They tell a story and/or aesthetically work together. Sometimes the "panels" have a particular hierarchy, with the middle panel dwarfing the other two. This is evident in work produced by many painters during the northern Renaissance: </div>

The triptych became a great vehicle for Biblical narrative (sometimes paired with extra-Biblical narrative). Triptychs were so large they had a permanent position in churches or were created as portable reminders of Christ's sacrifice. Hinges could be added between the panels and the paintings could sit on flat surfaces, much like modern-day picture frames.</div>

a spouse can be a scary endeavor. Bonnie is not only my biggest
supporter, but also my harshest critic (which has benefited my work greatly
over our 10 years of marriage). So trying to capture her likeness,
nuanced expression and personality was daunting...that's why this has taken me
two years to complete.</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">This
painting was inspired by a visit to <span style="background: white;"><a href="https://www.ringling.org/ca-dzan">CĂ d'Zan</a>, a beautiful mansion in
Sarasota, FL where John Ringling (from "Ringling Bros" fame) lived with
his wife, Mable, in the early part of the 20th century. There was a great
portrait of Mable in their vast living room and I realized that my own bride
should be immortalized in paint. </span></span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some process shots and the finished piece which also
features our cat, Penelope.</span><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

Needless to say, my painting hours are few and far between. It is still my first love, creatively speaking, so the time I am able to paint is golden.<br />
<br />
This past fall (2014) I was commissioned to paint a "knight" for a central Mississippi company. I've enjoyed working with this collector in the past and enjoyed discussing the potential symbolism, color and tone of the commission. I started by collecting reference material from around the studio (I do have several, small knight statuettes laying around) and acquired a book showing armor & weapons throughout history.<br />

After doing the preliminary work, I started sketching and decided on the following composition:<br />

The <a href="http://www.salzburgmuseum.at/63.html">Salzburg Museum</a> was sitting, almost vacant, reflecting into the drenched, ancient streets and my Dad & I decided to check it out. We had already seen Mozart's birthplace and wanted to soak up as much of the city as possible in the finite amount of time alotted in our itinerary. I had just finished a semester in London and we were traveling "the continent", taking it all in: Famous sites, food, and art...lots and lots of art. Rock star paintings that I had only seen in textbooks!<br />
<br />

<br />
The exhibition at the Salzburg Museum was unassuming, however. The featured artist was neither a mainstay in textbooks nor did he start any art movements, BUT he created paintings that excited me. His name was <a href="http://www.albert-birkle.com/">Albert Birkle</a> and he made me want to paint. His portraits are distorted and sometimes grotesque, but his use of color and exaggeration are unique and I wanted to emulate that. My Dad and I were the only 2 people in that museum that afternoon...a perfect way to view paintings without distraction or haste. My Dad noticed how much I enjoyed Birkle's work and bought me the exhibition book on the way out.<br />

*Albert Birkle's book featuring an image of death and an old lady...creepy but great! This also marked the beginning of an insane obsession with art books (as I write this I am eyeing a 20lb tome of the H. Matisse MOMA Retrospective from 1992...purchased 2 hours ago).</div>
<br />
After 3 months abroad, I came home, found some old canvas panels and tried to paint from my Europe photos. Needless to say, the first efforts were not great, but it was a start! I took a few painting classes in college that really helped me work with brushes in a more effective way and allowed me to become comfortable in the medium. As the years rolled by, I continued to paint night after night and during any free moment I could find. Soon, it became clear, that this activity was more than a hobby. Anytime I saw people, the first thing they would inquire about was my painting. It had become part of my identity.<br />
<br />
Between 2002-2012, I was a very active painter (some years were more prolific than others). This changed in October 2012. Two days before I was set to go to my alma mater, Mississippi College, to present a new painting to the Art Dept, my wife and I found out that she was pregnant! With this news, I decided to hang up the oils temporarily, so I could explore less toxic/smelly mediums and devote more time to my wife. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 comes to mind.<br />

A year has passed and I'm slowly building up the gumption to get back into oils. I write all of this as a reflection and an explanation on my absence from oil painting. I still look back at Birkle's book for inspiration and look forward to what paintings 2014+ will produce.<br />
<br />
Maybe Flynn will want to paint with me someday...here's hoping!<br />

<br />
The bottom-right cornerstone of "The Hinge" is a lion. There are many references to lions in the Bible, but it is included in this painting specifically because it is an ancient symbol associated with the Israelite tribe of Judah & one of the names of Christ (This symbol is one of my creations...influenced by medieval depictions of lions in heraldry). <br />
<br />
In Genesis 49:9 you can see the earliest reference of a lion in association with the tribe of Judah.<br />
<br />
In Matthew 1:3-16 you can see the genealogy of Christ and his association with the tribe of Judah.<br />
<br />
In Hebrews 7:14, the author clarifies this connection.<br />
<br />
In Revelation 5:5 the name "Lion of Judah" is used in reference to Christ.<br />

om the Bible) AND muster up enough confidence to produce something reverent and not trite (sorry, modern Christian art). I wanted to approach the canvas as a means of worship, like Makoto Fujimura...no 'Kinkade' to be found in his work.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I remember very clearly that it was on New Years Day, 2004, when I finally decided to put away the Acrylics and try something new. I've never looked back. The smell, the tactile experience, and the long drying time of Oils made me feel like a serious painter for the first time. It pulled me deeper into the craft and gave me a new lease on art.

Now, looking back at this portrait, I would change a lot of things (like my one bug-eye and the weird blue shadow on my face), but nostalgia wins. The excitement is still there and I'll always enjoy looking back at this moment in art self-discovery.</div>

One thing I love to do in museums is to capture how a painting 'feels' in person. It is a completely different experience than looking in an artbook. You get a real sense of scale, texture, and subtle value changes that reproductions can't capture. I attempt to capture the feelings by sketching/making notations in a moleskine sketchbook while walking around the gallery. Here are a few shots of me nerding out taken by my wife (who is probably ready for me to hurry up and move on to the next gallery):<div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2Gc8l25bUsdWyBCl-AUUBlOyhfMuR2cyIsa3wUPFI0q9Nkjfzm2H2oHhxF5BL7B05L3Bmp60tq56xUWnDzjC_tOTZVBb5FbrdoaH1uhBaIRefJ7rnyKfAoAINnnrLBAdxiaEXwaL4ep0/s320/photo-5.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661626959408710290" /><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAaMsLALxfSTnbAxdePQWkeysXudDnCN5-9sTr7Okhb0Ra3OWyFnz4dN6uPvk51QmWp5PQq100KhK8kKz6QOvG26GReM9Ze0-GZG-xTmCDCDFAcZdKvgQny4oMnbVa6_7hfcLLGw4XL1g/s320/photo-8.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5661627191114829234" /></div>Chase Quartermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06084557467603640862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815460296562659794.post-49001201510695586692011-09-13T08:57:00.002-05:002011-09-13T09:03:44.689-05:00"Mitzi" Progress<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJtms5jUnjOJQp50akvxBFTR_q69KQLpWv2J-wGvf9Eq0dRFg3SnIcoDSv3-664X3i1Dm1OQy-clGOH8T9mpnKvzc83qrBKf7Rz7gWLt9u9VIZP2wmAw10ZVmcMhPtrAHcFOBz3V28Aoo/s1600/MitziProgress-forBLOG.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJtms5jUnjOJQp50akvxBFTR_q69KQLpWv2J-wGvf9Eq0dRFg3SnIcoDSv3-664X3i1Dm1OQy-clGOH8T9mpnKvzc83qrBKf7Rz7gWLt9u9VIZP2wmAw10ZVmcMhPtrAHcFOBz3V28Aoo/s320/MitziProgress-forBLOG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651843300094911218" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div>This is a portrait of my little sister that was on display at her wedding.

One of the things on her list was to visit "The McNay"--an art museum in the former 24-room Spanish Colonial-Revival home of heiress Marion McNay. If you ever find yourself in San Antonio this place is a must-see for the architecture and grounds alone. Her 700 piece art collection left to San Antonio wasn't bad either. The collection includes Rivera, Picasso, Monet, Cezanne, Kirchner, Dufy, and the list goes on. </span></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;color:#666666;">
