Although I have not yet received a response to my comment regarding my impressions of artwork by Dana Schutz, I have continued to give her paintings considerable thought. Indeed, despite my initial assessment of her of her style and compositons, I have found them to be rich in color,values, and overall ingenuity.
The turning point for me was a comment she had made in one of her interviews. She stated that she was initially afraid to use saturated color in her work. Instead, she felt more comfortable incorporating more subdued hues. I, too, have felt the same way about my paintings. Moreover, I have begun to integrate this new color scheme into my recent work and have found the results to be very visually pleasing to both myself and to my biggest critic, my wife Orna. Furthermore, my interest in Dana Schutz goes beyond her artwork. She graduated from my Alma Mater, Columbia College in 2002. I graduated from Columbia College in 1978 and subsequently in 1982 from The Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.

We enjoyed reading your blog....you have a very fertile mind and this is a great vehicle to express yourself. How did you decide to start a blog?
Thanks for the kind words. I decided to start a Blog as a "vehicle" for the expression of the myriad of ideas that run through my head. I often get a rush of these images and ideas when I go for my daily walk. Indeed, I never wear headphones and try to absorb everything I can from the environment. In addition, the Blog allows me to document my thoughts in the form of a diary which I can read later on.
