Well, December is here, and I wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been visiting this silly blog and following my art. I haven’t been able to post as often this year as I would have liked to, but I have been working like crazy on a museum show in Dec. 2010 and come this January, I will start showing you all in-progress shots of what I have been up to, and the new website will be up and contests will happen too, and the like. Until then I hope you all have outstanding holidays and find much love and joy and hugs too this season.

Happy Happy Holiday Holiday!
-Joe

Watching this twice felt right this morning…

title of the above painting: in the morning, in the tide (the annunciation)

So I just got back from Wisconsin (more on that in a future post) to find this email from Francesco Goffredo and his Italian Online site called Circolo Culturale Heurema (side note, Wouldn’t that be a good name for a band: ‘Francesco Goffredo and the Italian Online Sites,’ or hell, what about ‘Francesco Goffredo and the Side Notes?’). Below is the link if you would like to read the review.

Also, for the record, the first painting they review is the above piece, In the Morning, In the Tide (the Annunciation). Which is, as the title states, an Annunciation. That’s Peter with the oven-mitted head sitting next to Mary. It is the moment after Peter has told Mary of the seed within her, and the ramifications of it all. On the other side of Mary, the little fella blowing the smoke rings, that is God. Most Annunciation paintings have God in them. He is usually in the corner, checking things out and enjoying the show I suspect.

The English translation is a bit funky. If you prefer it in the Italian of which it was written, click here:

Here is a photo I shot of a painting (detail) that I am right next to finishing. I will show the whole completed painting next week…

Here is a pic I took with my phone a few mornings ago. I have been getting out at daybreak to run and try and heal these old former-smokers lungs.
Dang, I am so blown over by our Earth; what an honor it is to be here.
