I'd Rather Be Painting by Donald Dean Langford Pdf

This is a story about one man's forty-year struggle to leave what he thought would be a temporary job in Banking to follow his lifelong dream of becoming an artist. Away from the bank, he took what time he could afford to work toward that goal. After some oil painting lessons, his skills improved. Working in his garage usually at night, he started giving away and selling some of his paintings to friends. Since Banking and Art are quite opposite, he felt as though he was leading a sort of double life. After his skills improved, he attempted to find ways to leave banking, including a wild and crazy decision to open a gallery in Carmel, California. Still living his double life, he hoped the gallery would eventually replace his bank job. It did not. When a benefactor offered to back him financially, he happily left banking, only to reluctantly return to banking when his benefactor could not continue funding. Back to his double life again, he continued painting and sold his work in several galleries. This story takes the reader on many rocky paths, some of which were dead ends, ultimately to one as a full time Artist. When Illness and death took his wife and daughter, his faith was sorely tested, however he never gave up painting. After remarrying, he and his wife returned to the Monterey Bay where the dream is still alive.

I'd Rather Be Sorry by Dottie Lou Bolme Pdf

Many changes occur as Dottie, after six years single, tries to adjust to sharing a life with an over-achieving, not so faithful spouse. Except for a Minneapolis 8-track recording endeavor and a weekly guest shot on a local TV show, (Arrowhead Country), it seems Dottie's career is in a slump, placed on a back burner. The new marriage pressures many new demands flooding the scenario. Precious time is diverted to family, taking the spotlight away from music. Teen-age undisciplined upheavals arise, as do snowmobiling excursions, camping trysts, race-track diversions, putting stress on limited time slots. A Paris, France adventure, with a brief appearance in a French Band revitalized Dottie's passion for her career and she returns with renewed passion for life, but less for marriage. Priorly, in her adamant testimony of her moralizing, self-righteous virtues, Dottie is now forced to EAT CROW as she joins the coterie of the "Angels Flying too Close to the Ground" at the Gopher 'Peyton Place! The Result?? An intriguing blurr on a downhill glide, in a new direction to infidility, Fervent, impetuous Passion and Euphoric Ecstasy!

Inside Art by Mary Brown Pdf

An explanation of the way in which the study of art can act as a trigger for change in prisoners. This stimulating work is based on conversations with artists - including people in prison or who were once imprisoned. It charts the importance of creative activity as an instrument of personal change. As the author is compelled to say: Individuals can, and do, change. If there is a message in these stories, this is it: we need to listen, understand and act upon it. The physical walls around prisons must not become mental walls keeping us from understanding the worlds of those within. We are all members of the society that builds the prison walls.

Imperfection by Patrick Grant Pdf

"... aspirations to perfection awaken us to our actual imperfection." It is in the space between these aspirations and our inability to achieve them that Grant reflects upon imperfection. Grant argues that an awareness of imperfection, defined as both suffering and the need for justice, drive us to an unrelenting search for perfection, freedom, and self-determination. The twenty-one brief chapters of Imperfection develop this governing idea as it relates to the present situation of the God debate, modern ethnic conflicts, and the pursuit of freedom in relation to the uncertainties of personal identity and the quest for self-determination.

Archibald Motley Jr. and Racial Reinvention by Phoebe Wolfskill Pdf

An essential African American artist of his era, Archibald Motley Jr. created paintings of black Chicago that aligned him with the revisionist aims of the New Negro Renaissance. Yet Motley's approach to constructing a New Negro--a dignified figure both accomplished and worthy of respect--reflected the challenges faced by African American artists working on the project of racial reinvention and uplift. Phoebe Wolfskill demonstrates how Motley's art embodied the tenuous nature of the Black Renaissance and the wide range of ideas that structured it. Focusing on key works in Motley's oeuvre, Wolfskill reveals the artist's complexity and the variety of influences that informed his work. Motley's paintings suggest that the racist, problematic image of the Old Negro was not a relic of the past but an influence that pervaded the Black Renaissance. Exploring Motley in relation to works by notable black and non-black contemporaries, Wolfskill reinterprets Motley's oeuvre as part of a broad effort to define American cultural identity through race, class, gender, religion, and regional affiliation.
