Susan A Christie and WB (Bill) Brown at Rio Bravo Fine Art Gallery, 2013. Asian Ink on Asian Papers9/18/2013  The trip to Minnesota is over. It was many things but in the final analysis it was most rewarding, quite lovely, enjoyable and a best of all time spent with all of the Susan's together. Old friends, good food, lots of countryside, and copious amounts of moisture.  On March 14, 2013 I donated my first set of personal archives to the MHS. A selection of my artist records from 1982 to 2006. These will be added to their extensive Christie Family Collection.  The Minnesota History Center Minnesota and the Civil War Several of my family members, the Christie's, wrote detailed descriptive letters from the Civil War, which are included in the Christie Family Collection, several published books, a segment of Ken Burns' Civil War series, and this exhibit. http://www.minnesotahistorycenter.org  THE Magazine - Dec '12/Jan'13 has published my Critical Reflection of Harold Joe Waldrum's Exhibition "Windows" @ RioBravoFineArt in Truth or Consequences. This is an exhibition of Waldrum's early work, before the church paintings. They are the essential part of his history, his process, and his life as an artist in New Mexico. As far as I am concerned, you cannot build a garden without the underlying structure. That which is unseen. These paintings are his foundation and the churches, as wonderful and historic as they are, are the landscape planted over the granite.
 Thru a web contact this painting reappeared after many years. I painted it during a stay at the Lodge at Lutsen, MN, on the shore of Lake Superior. The woman who has the painting said she spent many winter days with her "family at the Lodge growing up––skiing, eating amazing food, just hanging out by the fire, playing cards and drinking cocoa––those holidays are amongst my favorite memories of childhood." How spectacular to see this favorite painting again. The Northern Minnesota sky, in the winter, is cool yellow in the afternoons.
I am right back there again! |
