Portrait of Henry Miller
{ 1991 } Oil painting on canvas
The Great American novelist captured
in red, white and blue paint { I will confess to utilizing
black as well }. My love for the ingenious writing of Henry
Miller is perhaps as surreal and Rabellasian as his ravenous
and earthen passages themselves.
Besides my fascination with depicting
Henry Miller, Buster Keaton and other American icons throughout
history, I have also adopted the concept of posting lists
and lists of information, words, concepts and charts right
on the wall to assist with writing and clarification of
thought. Some of the lists have made their way to various
websites I have developed. Others have become complete
works of art that start from ceiling and hang down to the
floor, large crayon-drawn words, prose-art-poetic attempts
to scrawl back into the mind of the immediate child within
us all.
