Comment by JANET GATHIER-COOMBER on August 10, 2010 at 5:15pm: This is a marvellous piece. Congratulations.

(You could easily do it more justice photographically, using suitable software -- like Picasa for ex. .... step up the contrasts and deepen the black. Such a piece of work deserves it ..)

Comment by Jeanette Luchese on June 5, 2010 at 8:52am: This is one of the pieces that I created for the theme ... younger than Moses, art reflecting Moses... in a way it is about the searching, and the frustration of wanting/needing guidance...

Comment by Jeanette Luchese on May 24, 2010 at 2:01pm: Hey... yes love talking to you. Thanks for the link to the artist, you are so lucky her work is amazing, and yes, I can relate to her art so much, thanks for sharing. Your home revamps sound great, studio space is so much needed. My is a mess... on the list, after gardens, which I never have enough time for. Send me pics of your garden oasis when done to give me ideas for mine.
Well back outside... talk later.

Comment by Jan Poland-Bryan on May 24, 2010 at 10:05am: Oh..I'm thrilled to hear you found it useful, Jeanette...please do use it...it doesn't 'belong' to me....alas! My art lecturer brought an art history book in to show me this in 1995...knowing the fear I had of a blank canvas...and it worked (well..along with him taking his brush across my canvas & shocking me out of my 'blockage'..sweet guy that he was/is) ...I couldn't wait to 'install' it into my wee gerls head when I returned home...she was only 8yrs old at the time & it clearly had a wonderful effect on her too. Isn't it good to 'talk' & 'share' Jeanette. :-) :-) Now I must get back to the tomato plants....or my alfresco dining will suffer:-) :-)

Comment by Jeanette Luchese on May 24, 2010 at 9:22am: Jan you are great... no, actually I haven't heard that quote before... I would love to reference that to my artist statement... it is just so perfect.
Thanks

Comment by Jan Poland-Bryan on May 24, 2010 at 9:16am: do you know what John Piper (the English landscape/architectural painter) said in relation to 'not being sure' Jeanette...you probably do, but just incase not...I hope you find this as profound as I did ...' If I could capture 'reasoning'..I would take it by the throat & give it a damn good hiding!' ....pretty much says it all, don't you agree? This saying flashes into my silly grey cells whenever I've noticed how you appear to 'question why' in regards to your finished work & I've decided that the time has come to 'share' it with you Jeanette...I so wish I could paint 'without thought'...it's too 'contriving' & therefore limiting & why your work is so fantastic!! :-) :-)

Comment by Jeanette Luchese on May 23, 2010 at 4:59pm: Jan, me too, it is the door that I think is important, finding your way... but then not sure.
Thanks my friend.
