The Cry of the Warrior.
The warrior here seems to show his concern and agitation for the moment. Beware.
Finally! Please, enjoy. I
will gradually begin to fill this page with what is a new art
style, at least for me. I call this painting by deletion, 'bleach' painting, perhaps
it can been done under different names but never having seen this done anywhere before I
will claim authorship. Thank you, world, for waiting..
The Cry of the Warrior.

3 Brilliant Men in a Common Framework of Time, Country, Purpose.
Martin--The
Martyrs Trilogy Now,
here I have focused attention on the eyes of Martin Luther King to show the
range of clarity that I can represent through Adobe Photoshop. I am trying to
do several things here, one of which is to find the range of enhancement that
Photoshop can bring. I didn't want to put too much brightness and contrast into
the image but merely to heighten its effect, so that it has the haunting quality
that I think enhances the image.
Malcolm--The
Martyrs Trilogy The haunting eyes of Malcolm reaches deep into the soul
of the observer. This is the first image I tried to reproduce as a completed
image to see how this new technique of bleaching will work.
Medgar--The Martyrs Trilogy
Medgar Evers is the lesser heralded of this trilogy but his
death was truly a tragedy in the timeline of tragedies that struck the nation
and the civil rights movement in those dark days of the sixties. A hero of the
first magnitude, I have not forgotten him.
Chanteuse d'Or
Magical Josephine Baker left America seeking fame and fortune,
a fame and fortune denied her in her native country. Paris embraced her
as a true lover while she shone brightly in return. By this time I am becoming
quite comfortable with this new medium.
Momo
Momo. The name means 'Peach' in Japanese. She reminds me
of a playful Sphynx writ with a very small cypher. The original, larger image
hangs on a wall in Southern California in the house of the mother of one of
my very best friends.
Golden
Tut
The granduer and mysteries of ancient Egypt fell under the spell of bleach painting. The natural gold color of Tut's death mask is well-served by the bleaching action. I tried to do several things here, one of which was to dig deeper into the third dimension by strong shadowing and the other aspect was to see how color would react on the gold. Needs more work. I give this work a 'B' because it was exploratory in nature and I am well pleased by the striking, almost spectacular results.
