8″ X 8″ Oil
2009
Its like every 5 or so years, I go to the bottom of the pile and find work that I’ve done and have forgotten about. I’ve lost contact with my initial intentions (or disappointment) and find something new to appreciate.

This is a lovely show in a beautiful gallery in the west valley (west of Phoenix AZ) and features the art of Joe Willie Smith, Micheal Cunningham, Stephen Marc, Gabriel Bey, Jewell Pender, Joseph Beckles and Bob Martin. Opening night was packed.
The exhibit runs until February 26. Visit if you can and check out the calendar of events for this month. Many of the artists will be giving talks across the West Valley, answering questions about their inspiration, process and more.
Such an intelligent film and story line. The pace of the film allows tons of time for reflection. Arrival is a quiet film, absent are the razzle dazzle sound and high energy visual effects that often become the main feature of other SiFi films.
How We Speak to Each Other is Important
The cast is perfect. I don’t particular like awards, and Amy Adams deserve’s something. She is emotionally available and helps facilitate a science fiction tale into something that is real. Congratulations to everyone above and below the line in the making of this film.
I really liked this exhibit (First Friday, Dec 2, 2016) and wished that I had had the time to really sit with the work. What struck me later on that evening was that sense of the work stayed with me. The visuals translated into a feeling, which is what you want to happen and it lingered on for hours. So I will return for 3rd Friday and take my time.
Some but not all of her work is reminisces of the 1960’s early 70’s as if I had accidently found myself in Bolinas CA, which was the only way I could find the place (by accident). Take a look at Sara’s site, Sara Reinstein Becker, or go to the Exhibit there is much more to see than Love.
One challenge that I have with First Friday’s in Phoenix, is that there is not enough time to settle down and give it a think, about what it is I’m seeing or listening to. There are a lot of good artists to see and sneakers don’t help.
