At the Sacramento Food Bank - Just before Thanksgiving I responded to a televised plea from the Sacramento Food Bank for turkeys for the homeless and needy. They had a goal of 500 for the day. I was there at about 6:00 AM or so and was one of the first 20 or so to donate. On the way there I spotted several homeless, cold and I presume hungry, people huddled on a bench. This resembles one of them. Such character in their faces. The last time I watched the news that day the food bank had collected almost 3000 turkeys for the needy, a tribute to Sacramento, CA.

The Jazz Bass Man - 40 plus years ago I lived and worked in Kansas City, MO. which was known for its Jazz clubs. I would spend weekend evenings listening to all the greats of the time. The clubs were dimly lit, smoky and filled with the best jazz in the country. There was even one club, the "Flight 42 Club" that was housed in a retired airliner, I think a Boeing 707, that had been towed in and remodeled into a jazz club. Some of you may remember it. Another great place to hear the greats of the times was "The Place in Westport" near the Plaza. There were many others and also there was downtown. This painting reminds me of some of those wonderful evenings. Your comments are welcome.

The White Mouse - I've wanted to do this one for quite a while, but was a little apprehensive due to the lighter tones and lesser values. I was concerned with being able to bring out the subject from the background and with it having that "Oh too pale" look. I had to recolor it twice and I like the way it finished out.

I used a 1945 black and white photo as a reference for this painting

Charles X. Carlson - Artist, Author (1902-1991)

C. X. Carlson, born in Minnesota in 1902, left school in the seventh grade at 12 years of age to become a baker's apprentice. He later worked in iron mines, lumber camps, and as a seaman for three years.

Soon his talent for art drew him the Crane Technical College in Chicago and to the Chicago Art Institute, where he spent four years. Later he attended the National Academy of Design in New York for three years and the Art Students League in New York. He traveled to Antwerp and Munich and also studied under master artists. While in New York he met and studied with Gorkey, Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko.

He taught art classes in figure study at the Art Student League. Locally he also taught classes at the York Art Association, the Jewish Community Center, and the Iris Club. He started the Octorara Art Association. The Octorara Art Association web site address is:

http://www.octoraroart.org/

His experience as an illustrator, cartoonist, mural painter, and teacher in New York City captured the attention of other artists and designers. He painted murals in the New Zealand building of the New York's World's Fair. He created Elsie, the Borden Company's cow. He also did work for Ford and General Motors.

His impact continued in the political arena during World War II. He was a staff artist and cartoonist for "On War Times," a publication of the Pentagon and the Bureau of Public Relations. He spent two years painting, lecturing, and exhibiting in twenty-one American Republics and South American countries for the U.S. State Department for the Good Neighbor Policy. While in South America he completed more than 750 paintings as well as research for a book, which was never published.

He is the author of a series of twenty art illustration books that sold millions of copies. He was commissioned to illustrate "Old Lancaster" and completed over 150 paintings of historical Lancaster buildings. Critics believe this series to be his finest works.

During his lifetime he exhibited widely throughout the Americas. His paintings hang in well-known collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art In New York. He is listed in Who's Who in Art and Who's Who in the East.

C.X. moved to Lancaster county, PA in 1947 and in lived in Kirk's Mill near Quarryville. There he became a historical painter. He completed in his lifetime more than 15,000 paintings and uncountable drawings for friends, relatives, neighbors, and members of the art world.

To me, he was just my uncle Charlie.

Homeless Man No. 2 - I've taken a little creative license here and put together two different homeless subjects, both recently photographed on the streets of Sacramento, CA. One was a black man sitting on a bench catching some warm sun and the other was an older balding white man; both men appeared extremely tired. Recently I painted another older man with similar lighting and called it Memories. Your comments are welcome.

Bean Farmer - It was about 20 or so years ago, back when I traveled all the US to make a living. I stopped for lunch at a small café in Santa Rosa, NM. I struck up a conversation with him, but all I can remember is that he wore a large brimmed western hat and had a weather worn face. Since I could not remember his face well enough to reconstruct, I used some of the features of a friend here in California. I like the way it came out. Your comments are welcome.

Homeless Woman - I've put together another imaginary person from several of what appeared to be homeless subjects I observed last Saturday in mid town Sacramento, CA. The homeless, like Native Americans, have sometimes almost unimaginable character in their rugged faces. I love the challenge of capturing that character on canvas. This is also my first attempt at painting a person of African American decent. I tried to master the skin tones on another canvas prior to starting this painting. I'd be interested in your comments. Thanks.

Incidentally, if you do recognize the eyes in this one you get a gold star too.

I'll give a gold star to the first person who comes up with the correct answer. Your comments are welcome.

The Alaskan Brown - Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted any new paintings for about two weeks. We have been on a cruise ship in Alaska, Glacier Bay and 4 ports of call. The day at Glacier Bay was enhanced with several hours of bright sunshine starting just as we arrived at the north end. The scenery was spectacular, lots of wild life and of course the glaciers too. I thought I should paint something reminiscent of that day so here is my impression of an Alaskan Brown Bear. Hope you like it. Your comments are encouraged and always welcome.

Mystic Morning - I wanted to do something apart from animals for a change so I poured a cup, got a muffin and sat in front of my easel. About two hours later I looked up and noticed I hadn't touched my coffee or muffin. I think that's what it's all about for me. Painting takes me to a place where everything else leaves my mind and I can relax. The painting itself is secondary to the action; I hope you understand. I painted this to appear mystical and fantasy like while trying some different from the norm colors and techniques. Your comments are welcome.

It reminds me of 40 plus years ago when I lived in Wichita, KS and my friend Ed H. (now deceased). He owned this split window 63 Corvette (you car lovers know what I mean). He and his dog Nora, a Sheltie, would pull into our local drive in restaurant and everyone would watch as they parked. Nora, and I think the Corvette too, would attract a lot of the local girls. What a great dog she was. Your comments are welcome.

The Hunter - Hunting in tall grass. Those of you interested in photography will understand what I've attempted to do here. For those of you who don't, I've pictured "The Hunter" in a supposed narrowed the depth of field. Having never tried this before with oil paints, it was a real challenge compared to doing it with a camera. The challenge was to blur the foreground while leaving the background or face crystal clear and still show some of the image through the blurred area, much like the camera would do. I learned a lot here and will apply that knowledge to the next one of this type I try. Your comments are welcome.

Just to show expression, dimension, perspective and depth within a white furry face requires a lot of subtle tone changes.

Gooseberry Falls -If you have never been up the Lake Superior north shore in Minnesota you should do it once in your lifetime. I was lucky enough to do it many times as a child and remember it vividly to this day. It's now been about 50 years since I had the opportunity to stop and climb down the rocks near Gooseberry Falls, although I've been past it in recent years. So if I may present a painting strictly from memory of that day some 50 years ago here is Gooseberry Falls, MN.

 Its Nap Time - Every time I paint one of these kittens and then sit back and look at it I feel very relaxed. It's a phenomenon that doesn't occur with other paintings I do, just the kittens, especially the sleeping kittens. The softer they look the more relaxed I feel. I'll probably keep painting them and just for ducks, I'm going to check my blood pressure to see if the phenomenon actually extends to my BP number.

Homer - His new owner brought him home, from sure death at the pound, to a loving environment just yesterday. I was lucky enough to meet him and immediately noticed that he seemed to stair at me forever. Possibly it was the sound of my voice or just a male voice that interested him, but he wouldn't take his eyes off me so I took a couple of pictures and today put him on canvas. Homer is about 8 or so weeks old and very fluffy. Your comments are welcome.

Wolf Hound #2 - I just love these dogs and this is the second Wolf Hound I have painted. It is similar to, but a much larger canvas than the first. If it doesn't sell first, it will go in a show I'm doing this summer along with some other larger format paintings. If you like it or don't like it I'd welcome your comments.

The Pekingese - or at least "a Pekingese". Two or three months ago in one of my posts I asked that if anyone out there had a good picture of a Pekingese would they please email it to me. Well, I got a number of them and this is a combination of several of the best close-ups. Thank all of you who sent me those pictures. That effort, along with a little on my part, culminated in this painting. I welcome any comments....

Maxine - She was a large old dog that I knew many years ago, I think a golden retriever mix. It seemed like every time I saw her she was laying on the couch and when I came in she would open an eye to check me out and then back to sleep. I ran across a picture of her and her owner last evening and made the decision to try this painting from memory. I think it turned out well. I'd welcome any comments.

Algernon in the Pool - There are some of you in my email group who will remember the early 1970s, my home in Wichita, KS with the swimming pool and our white kittens. To teach them not to be afraid of falling in the pool I would wait until they were about 8 or so weeks old and then pitch them, all the kittens, directly into the middle of the pool. They are surprisingly adept swimmers, but they have to be convinced of that. They would actually follow me to the steps area and learn to get themselves out. From that point on we never worried about them around the water. Algernon was a special kitten.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - The other day I was at the park, as I usually am once a week or so looking for painting subjects, and I saw this little dog. I thought it was a Cocker Spaniel mix, until, I was corrected by the owner. Turns out it's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I stood corrected and took 5 pictures. She sure was cute.....

Baby - This painting resembles our female cat "Baby" so much I had to name it after her. She is usually somewhere close to me, keeps me company when I paint, on my lap in front of the TV most ever evening and usually next to my pillow at sometime during the night. We rescued her from the county pound about 15 years ago. She is a real member of the family and, of course, runs the household. Your comments are welcome.
