<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Norman Soskel will teach
encaustic painting workshops at the Germantown Hobby Lobby (on Exeter)
beginning in October.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The first workshop will be a
basic workshop teaching the history, safety, materials and methods. The
curriculum is designed for those who have not had prior experience with
encaustic or who want to learn the proper use of the medium. It will be a 6
hour workshop from 12:30 PM until 6:30 PM starting October 25. Attendees will
produce between 3 and 5 pieces of art during the day. After the initial
workshop, basic workshops will be at the same time and location on the second
Friday of each month.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Starting November 22,
extended encaustic workshops will be held at the same time and place on the 4th
Friday of each month. This will provide additional techniques not covered in
the basic workshop. The basic workshop is a prerequisite for the extended
workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">These workshops are for
adults only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">In addition, Norman teaches
private lessons, to be arranged individually, in his studio.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">For additional information
contact Norman at 901 230 8083 or
send an e-mail to him at norman@normansoskel.com.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">To visualize some of the
encaustic paintings Norman has produced, go to his web site:
www.normansoskel.com. Two examples are included below. These pieces demonstrate
the incredible vibrancy of color and luminosity that can be achieved with
encaustic painting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">No prior experience in using encaustic paints is necessary for the basic workshop. </span></div>

The exhibit was far more interesting than I had expected. There was a video with Bearden explaining a number of his techniques and ideas. Frequently during the video we see him cutting out shapes with a scissors and pasting them into a collage, quickly and effortlessly. Incredible!<br />
<br />
I've decided to copy the brochure and place it in the blog. I've not taken time to photograph professionally but with my iPhone so the images are often not squared or light balanced.<br />

They've spent countless hours on this conference and the results show it. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and I have been asked to participate with a lecture or demo again next year. I would personally like to thank all the people involved in producing this event. Here are a few of the images I took over the last few days since the previous post.<br />

We got in early Wednesday and walked to Boudros for Guacamole and prickly pear margaritas. We decided to have Boudros burgers afterward. Then we got on the Riverwalk and walked to St. Mary's street (1.5 hours in 101 degree temperature) and found our way to the hotel (above ground).<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>I just got back from Chicago where I viewed (three times) the Roy Lichtenstein Retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago. The team spent 5 years preparing this exhibit. It is truly a wonderful presentation of Roy Lichtenstein's paintings and sculptures. There are, however, a number of blatant omissions that I can't explain. There are none of his prints except a few sketches done in preparation for the larger paintings in the exhibit. The entire set of waxtype images including the brushstroke series of 1987 are missing. Since these are the basis of my encaustic serigraph interest, I was disappointed in not being able to see them in person. Most of what is shown are the classic images that the artist is most known for as well as a few atypical sculptures. Photographing the works is allowed except for those that are marked. The catalogue produced for the event is huge and the reproductions in it are extremely well done. Scholar's rock (item 123) is photographed or printed backwards. The two articles by the curator, James Rondeau are written in a language that is so abstruse that it is extremely difficult to read and serves only to highlight the author's superb vocabulary rather than to communicate with art aficionados. The other articles in the volume are much more pleasing to read and communicate to the reader more effectively.<br />
<br />
There's a chronology at the end of the book that is very useful, but, again, the wax type brushstrokes are omitted. For that matter, any collaboration with Donald Saff and Graphic Studios as well as with Gemini and others is not mentioned. But, then, again, no printmaking was mentioned anywhere that I have yet to discover. I find this amazing in light of his expertise and the fact that he was one of seven artists featured in "Seven Master Printmakers" by the Museum of Modern Art, 1991, based on the Torsten Lilja collection. To me this omission is incredible, but I got into this through an interest in screen printing, specifically, and printmaking in general, so my views are likely skewed.<br />
<br />
The exhibit includes sections on the early pieces, including, "Look Mickey" , mirrors room, perfect/imperfect room, and a room with Chinese style paintings, all bearing the characteristic Benday dots. Of particular interest was the progression of the format of the dots. Early on, each dot was painstakingly painted individually and some of the handwritten notes give clues to the different arrangements, including superimposition of dot patterns in order to produce the desired effect. Not shown were the pieces in which pre made (purchased) dots on paper were collaged into the painting in a manner that hid the boundaries of the separate pieces unless the viewer stands within a few inches of the painting.<br />
<br />
I've chosen a few images from the exhibit, some were photographed directly in person and some were photographed from my copy of the catalogue.<br />

The weather has been in the mid 40's and the tide lapping at the walkway next to our room. We had howling winds at times but in general the weather has been good. The first few days and currently the weather has been/is sunny and mild.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we went to the Atlantic Ocean side of Cape Cod and the Cape Cod Lighthouse as well as Cape Cod Bay.<br />
<br />
Here are some random shots near the Provincetown Inn. More photos to follow later today if I get a chance.<br />

After the 3 hour trip to Boston, we were the only two on the Cape Air flight to Provincetown. We were pleased to see that there was a representative from Enterprise Car Rentals because the main office in Orleans, MA was closed for Memorial Day and we had no idea how we were going to pick up our car. The last person I spoke with months ago when we rented the car said we had to take a 45 minute taxi ride to Orleans to pick up the car but neglected to tell us that they would be closed on the scheduled pickup day. Surprisingly they had my reservation in the computer at the Provincetown airport and the Enterprise person helped us with the details about our Nissan Altima. We had no problems getting to the Provincetown Inn and after checking in we rested a while. Not too long. I had to go outside and begin photographing the landscape. Here are a few pictures.<br />

It begins with photography and extends through watercolor, serigraphy, and encaustic painting. Many of the techniques combine with each other but frequently are based on photography.<br />

Nature is the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">ultimate art form and it may take some work to be able to appreciate and recognize the beauty in everyday things </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">and common occurrences. Photographs allow us to catch these moments to view later.</span></div><div style="font: 10.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">I have coined two terms that represent many of my pieces, primarily my photographic pieces. One term is a glimpse, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">which represents a view of the world as seen through a portal such as the camera or a window. The other term, slice, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">is a piece of the whole that may or may not be recognizable and may even represent a microcosm within something </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">larger. Slices allow the viewer to imagine the rest and therefore may provide more freedom of interpretation. These </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">are not an end in themselves but provide a way to think about what we see every day.</span></div><div style="font: 10.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

Then manipulation with other forms such as serigraphy, watercolor, or encaustics produces the final view. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Addition of other dimensions such as music can bring in another of our senses while merging static and linear art </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">forms. Thus, a painting or photograph presents the entire piece of art at one time to the viewer who then has to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">interpret at once what is visualized. On the other hand, a musical composition presents itself only over time so that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">the entire piece cannot be interpreted until the last note has been played and the last silence ended. Juxtaposition of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">such diverse art forms describing the same subject matter presents an interesting interaction for the viewer. Some of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">the pieces displayed here today attempt to demonstrate this.</span></div><div style="font: 10.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

Application of the same basic </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">photographic techniques allows me to explore nature, the ultimate art form, and to take glimpses or slices from it, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">displaying them in various ways in an attempt to provide some insight into it. After all, what we (as artists) attempt </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">to do is represent nature in some medium and to portray all the emotion and sensuality (in terms of the five senses) </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">that is evoked by experiencing it. Along with this experience often comes some intellectual commentary, implicit or </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">explicit. Frequently my intent is to demonstrate that just about everything that is natural has beauty, and that </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">everyday occurrences, as a part of nature, can exude those properties as well. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Primarily, I am a photographer, however, in the last few years have branched out into watercolor, collage, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">printmaking and, more recently, encaustics. Watercolors helped me to see colors and translucency more clearly. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">Serigraphy allowed me to incorporate photographic images into a painterly art form. Finally, the encaustic medium </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">allows me to combine all of my prior technical experiences into one art form, to bring in all the brilliance and </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">translucency of that medium, and, thus, to open up a broad means for expressing myself (<span style="color: #0a00ff;">www.memphisthings.com</span>, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0a00ff; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;">www.normansoskel.blogspot.com<span style="color: black;">).</span></span></div><div style="font: 10.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: small;"><br />

On October 21, 2011 two of my dearest art colleagues had exhibits at the same location in adjoining venues, Saj Crone and Constance Grayson. Saj's photography is legendary and often very mysterious as well as technically superb. Connie's artwork has catapulted to higher levels each time I see her and this time her work combines many of the technical aspects of prior endeavors. I present here only a smattering of the wonderful pieces included in the shows.<br />

</div>Well, it took me long enough but I've finally chosen a few of the 900 photos I took at the 5th International Encaustic Conference held in Provincetown, MA. I decided to group them into three categories, conference, people and Provincetown. Most are in the last category as I really had a great time walking around town and taking photos, especially as the sun went down (really, the only time I was able to get out after the day's activities of the conference).<br />

I asked my wife to participate by providing some of her paintings and then thought it would really be interesting to ask my daughter as well. Hence comes the family collection called mé·lange. My daughter, Shira, who received her bachelor of fine arts degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, is the only formally trained artist among us. After finishing her degree, she promptly started working at an art gallery in Chicago, <a href="http://www.beprimitive.com/">Primitive</a> (which is an awesome place to visit). She provided several pieces for the show and curated it by mapping out the layout in a PDF file. Then my wife, Judith, and I hung all 90 pieces at WKNO Gallery Ten Ninety-One in Cordova, Tennessee. The opening reception was September 9, 2011 and we just finished taking down the show two days ago.<br />
<br />
Having a show with two family members was an incredibly gratifying experience. Opening night was really quite fun. In fact, I had charged my camcorder and brought my still camera and was ready to capture episodes for this blog.....,however, I was so engaged in talking with everyone who came to the show that I completely forgot to take a single picture, imagine that, after 100,000 photographs in my lifetime, that I actually forgot to take a picture! So, the photos shown here were taken before the show.<br />
_____________________________________________<br />
Here are the three invitations. We couldn't decide which image to use so we made three different cards.<br />

Artists' Statements for this show:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">Judith Barrie currently lives and paints in Germantown, Tennessee. She has loved art, music, drama, dance, and photography from an early age, inspired by her parents who have shared their love of the fine arts with her through drawing and music lessons, and attending concerts, operas, and plays. She received a Master of Science in Educational Media from Radford University in Virginia using her own photographic images and silk-screen work and music to create installations and to illustrate children’s literature. She has studied art in southern Spain, the Umbrian region of Italy, as well as, in numerous local workshops, and most recently at the Memphis College of Art. Judith paints a variety of subjects in oils, pastels, watercolors, and colored pencil, often incorporating images from her own photography. As a member of both Artists’ Link and the Memphis Germantown Art League, Judith enjoys exhibiting her work in local art shows.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">Shira Soskel :</div><div class="MsoNormal">In 2008 I graduated with a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My focus was in painting, drawing, and printmaking. For the past two years I have found myself painting, specifically in watercolors and experimenting in aqua-oils.</div><div class="MsoNormal">I gather inspiration from my environment, specifically what invokes happiness or positive thinking. I find myself interested in the form of my subjects, not solely as an overall matter but individually. There are certain movements, forms, in a subject and in the act of representing a subject that invoke calm or even ease. My goal is to provide either an environment one can immerse themselves into or simply elements that enhance one’s environment in a positive manner.</div><div class="MsoNormal">The methods I choose to create any particular piece are quite methodical. In fact, each technique is treated as a form of meditation, focusing on the medium and the nature of the image as it lies before me. While my goal is to provide a finished piece invoking a form of happiness, I do not want to allow the image to become contrived. So while in this artistic meditation I try to focus on where these forms are going and what the medium is allowing. As simplistic as an image may feel, I try not to let the simplicity over-take what the medium and I are forming.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Norman Soskel<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Starting at the age of four with the encouragement of my photographer father, my interest in photography has evolved through three home-made conventional darkrooms into digital schemes. Application of the<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">same basic photographic techniques allows me to explore nature, the ultimate art form, and to take glimpses or slices from it, displaying them in various ways in an attempt to provide some insight into it. After all, what we (as artists) attempt to do is represent nature in some medium and to portray all the emotion and sensuality (in terms of the five senses) that is evoked by experiencing it. Along with this<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">experience often comes some intellectual commentary, implicit or explicit. Frequently my intent is to demonstrate that just about everything that is natural has beauty, and that everyday occurrences, being a part of nature, can exude those properties as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="Body"><br />
</div><div class="Body"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A number of recent works fall into two newly developed categories, glimpses and slices. Glimpses are views of the world as seen through a portal such as the camera or a window. Slices are pieces of the whole that may or may not be recognizable and may even represent a microcosm within something larger. Slices allow the viewer to imagine the rest and therefore may provide more freedom of interpretation.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="Body"><br />
</div><div class="Body"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Additional works encompass the media watercolor, collage, and serigraphy. Utilizing the medium of encaustics allows me to incorporate all of these media into the same piece of art for a very satisfying way to fully express myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="Body"><br />
</div><div class="Body"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This show involves a mixture, mélange, of works from my daughter, my wife and myself, brought together for the first time in one presentation. It represents the blending of, not only art forms, but also family ties and connections. The differences represent personalities and opinions and the similarities represent a melding of minds and souls. We hope this is as gratifying for the viewers as it is for us.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="Body"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">____________________________________________</span></div><div class="Body"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A few of Judith's pieces:</span></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It took Judith and I 7 hours to put up the show, level the images, place spacers behind some of them and polish the encaustics. We took 3.5 hours to take down the show and place each piece back in their bubble wrap covers and another half hour to bring it all home and store it. Not too bad for 90 pieces. Now I'm getting ready for my next solo show in January. More about that later.</div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I have finally decided to start a blog. In the past I've been reluctant to spill my guts to the world and still am. However, it became apparent that blogging might be a good way to distribute some of the things that I do, such as my artwork. From time to time I may present some of my philosophical treatises, well, ramblings that I record on the way to places in my car, usually in the early morning before I've begun to think straight. These actually might turn out to be interesting if not amusing. Just to get started, here's an autumn appropriate image from a few years ago. This was at Cameron Brown Park in Germantown, TN<br />
