Join the good guys in the culture war!

Support and encourage the figurative artists in your orbit. If you have clout, then join a contemporary museum board. If you are in the fine arts, then start curating exhibitions in university galleries, cultural centers, and museums. If you are an art historian or art critic, then write about what great living figurative artists are doing now! If you are an activist, then offer to help figurative artists with their PR, social media, and arranging art talks and interviews. If you are psychologically wicked, enjoy research, and detective work, then expose the trustees of contemporary and postmodern art museum boards.

Good morning! From 2:30 this AM. Have a wonderful day. A very cool day painting on Space Goddess, oil on canvas, 64x48”. I included a detail and a black/white photo. Color/hue is very different from b/w/tone. I’m lucky to have a good eye to see through color to make nuanced tonal changes. Often paintings don’t look too good in b/w. I love her torso.  @georgieleahy @tomiversum 8th painting from the Transparency: The Space Series. Work-in-progress, oil on canvas, 64x48”. With @georgieleahy @tomiversum I hope to sign it next week. This morning I put up the Wave Series in the Idyllwild Library. The show will be up for one month. Idyllwild, California (in the mountains above Palm Springs). If you come let me know and we can meet up. Next in the Space Series, Space Goddess, wip, charcoal set up, 64x48”. Start painting tomorrow! Signed. Newberry, The Seventh Day, 2023, oil on canvas, 64x48”. Thanks to the model @kali_kryst_000 and @tomiversum for the photo reference of the California Nebula. 🙏 All blocked in! Seventh Day, wip, oil on canvas, 64x48”. Just a little cleaning up then I’m done. The transparent shadows have three very important aesthetic values: the transparency integrates him into his surrounding; 100% transparent shadows are a magical foil to the light and anatomical detail, [in real life shadows have a transparent element to them, if there is a high contrasted background, for the form to hold its shape and spatial integrity the shadows make the adjustments to make the optics work. Definitely a lie that shows us the truth.] The third element is the metaphor that he is transparent. Extraordinarily important rebuff for all the powerful stupidass covert intelligence agencies, evil as hell. Much thanks to the model @mindpsyche_creations and the reference of the California Nebula @tomiversum . A good day painting. “Seventh Day”, wip, oil on canvas, 64x48”. Work in progress. Seventh Day, oil on canvas, 64x48”. @kali_kryst_000 @tomiversum
