Get to work

Inspiration is for amateurs—the rest of us just show up and get to work.

5 lipca to rocznica urodzin Chucka Close’a (1940–2021), amerykańskiego malarza i fotografa, znanego z hiperrealistycznych portretów wykonywanych z niesamowitą precyzją. Choć w 1988 roku stracił władzę w większości ciała, nie przestał tworzyć, stając się ikoną determinacji w sztuce. (fot. Wikipedia) #ChuckClose #sztuka #hiperrealizm #malarstwo
@RenewedRebecca I don't do any 3D printing, but I believe precision is still a major limiting factor at this point. That said, one could probably 3D print an inkjet printer that could output at #ChuckClose scale and refine from there. #art

I was stunned to see these paintings by the late Chuck Close that look almost like watercolor.

When I started working on my “Big Wet Pixels” homage, I had no idea the artist himself had been painting this way!

Some refinements on the #ChuckClose homage, and then a left turn into something very different. The bugs in my code are a source of unending joy and frustration. Someday, maybe, I'll fix them, but where's the fun in that?

#Sotheby's auction house refused to offer the canvas owned by the dog walker due to doubts about the authorship of the painting
There seemed to be no trace that Chuck Close had painted that Abstract Expressionist nude, of a unknown woman and the dog walker was left with a rolled-up canvas and a large debt.
This summer an archivist surfaced a photo from a student newspaper of the canvas so there was no doubt, it was painted by #ChuckClose and would it be worth millions?

Just when it looked as if Mark Herman’s painting was unsellable, his luck turned around. Now, who’s going to play him in the movie?
