Group Mural Painting and Guitar Rag in Scottsville

by

This is a great video from The Allen County Arts Council in Scottsville, Ky. Beautifully filmed and the music is good. The art is worth the effort. I like the ending.

I found this video while surfing links to this site. Some come through our associations, this one through my friend, Chris Carmichael. I looked over at the wave next to my surfboard and ended up somewhere in Kentucky listening to Eddie Pennington and Tommy Emmanuel playing Guitar Rag. Surfing, surfing, end up where? Oddly enough wherever you land you sometimes find talent, this time in Kaintuck, and these guys can play!

If you watched the other video, you’ll have to turn the volume up for this one.

Scottsville is cool.

Confusion in Paradise Painting

I also called this painting “Space Rocks”. Paintings are like people, they need a name so you have to come up with one. This painting is owned by my brother, James Larry Jackson. Beats me what he calls it or even if he still has it. It’s not up to me to decide what happens to them.
It’s quite beautiful to me.

Art by Cassie Leary

cassie learyDrawing by Cassie Leary
1996, age 4

This image has been with us since 1996. My memory escapes me and I cannot recall anything else. I have several children’s images from that time and will be presenting them as art.
This image expresses all the existential feelings of “I am here but where am I?” that any artist seeks. Should any artist get as good as Cassie Leary age four then they have arrived at their destination.

Here is another

“My Brother and I” by Cassie Leary

Check out the dog!

What is art? It is the soul painted perfectly, it is the impression of beauty itself, it is an abstraction of color and shape, it is paint dripped on a canvas, it is rectangles of certain colors, it is a blank canvas painted a cream color, it is Elephant dung on a Madonna, it is an installation of string on a table, it is all of these. It is what you see above.

If you see good art on the frig, frame it!
