Heroes and Heroines

2008-09-08T19:02:00.000-07:00

I am happy to present the first paintings of my new series 'Heroes and Heroines.

In this series I am taking modern day people and superimposing the identities of one of the romantic heroes or heroines of our conciousness.

I present them in moments before the great events of their lives for which they are glorified. Their identities are indicated by title and the moment in their story by the accompanying subtitle.

I choose my models based on some hint in their personality that seems to resonate with the figure I eventually paint them as.

Coming soon: Paris, Romeo, Joan of Arc, Romulus, The Libertine, Jezabelle and Alexander the Great.

Very special frame on this peice! I have been in somewhat of a painting depression. While I love doing the paintings of the day, I really am a portraitist and decided that my vacation from the face was over. As is to be expected, I needed to rest after my vacation so I stopped painting for a few days. Forgive me, those of you faithfuls, who continued to look each day.

Love Helen

Holy Watermark

2006-10-24T05:56:00.000-07:00

Oils on Oak panel - 13.5"x11" Framed in silver leaf.

In a dirty viaduct under the Kennedy expressway in Chicago something extraodinary has happened. Water has seeped through the concrete and stained the wall a variety of gritty colors. The city's lousy attempt to seal the leak lead to more leaking, and more staining until someone realized why the water could not be stopped. Now celebrated as an "appearence of Jesus" many Chicagoans graffiti messages of love and hope around the stain, leave gifts, even money, lots of flowers.

This is a Poloroid Fun-Cam shot of a very self-expressive bathroom stall in NYC. Note the sticker of Bob Saget in the upper right corner!

They are like little paintings.
