Road Trip Again

Posted on July 1, 2015 by davisbrotherlylove

My wife and I are off to see the grandkids. We should have a great time. I will be playing with William, who still remembers the ‘Ready, Set….

Different

Posted on August 20, 2014 by davisbrotherlylove

I’ve been thinking a lot about how my paint (Creative Process, How Does One Create?). In my quest to be able to paint my own feelings, I have looked at the work of Joan Miró (and his use of icons), Paul Klee (and his theories about the creative process) and Hans Hofmann (and his ‘push pull’ theory […]

How Does One Create?

Posted on August 18, 2014 by davisbrotherlylove

Many months back, I wrote a short post about creativity (Two Takes). Below, I reprise that and apply it to my recent painting process. Scientist using painting metaphor: Enrico Coen, in a fascinating book called The Art of Genes, tackles the question: How do biological organisms make themselves? He considers and rejects the idea that […]

Beginning of an Iconography?

Posted on December 12, 2013 by davisbrotherlylove

For now, I have abandoned the idea that self expression can arise from an unlinking of an artist’s intellect from his skills and tools.

Two Takes

Posted on December 11, 2013 by davisbrotherlylove

The artistic process as seen by a scientist My training is in the sciences and engineering, but I also have a great background in the arts. I am a photographer, I like to sketch and I have been trying my hand at watercolors. Years ago I read The Art of Genes by Enrico Coen. Instead […]

Posted on December 6, 2013 by davisbrotherlylove
