<![CDATA[<a href="http://s965.photobucket.com/albums/ae134/zovoider/?action=view&current=BirdMask391x4892.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae134/zovoider/BirdMask391x4892.jpg" border="0"></a> Title: My Familiar Art Style â€“ Outsider/Primitive/Folk Narrative Size: 48â€ x 59â€ (4x5) Artist: Charles Good Influenced by Fauvism and Expressionism Member of the Temple Street Painterâ€™s Guild in Los Angeles. 1971-1974 Gallery showings at Woodstock Gallery on Sunset Blvd and Sylvin Simon Gallery La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles. Lived and painted in Taos and Santa Fe New Mexico, 1977-78, and was friends with the Taos Six/Nouveau Impressionist Movement members Rod Goebel, Walt Gonski, and Ray Vinella, associated with Georgia Oâ€™Keeffe, as well. Also, was friends and shared concepts with another well-known Santa Fe artist, Fremont Ellis. *** His paintings are dreams and dreamscapes from life experiences leaving traces in his consciousness that emerge to render an unusual surreal experience with various hidden meanings. Charles states, â€œMy work is all about color, perception and painting in the moment. For me, color is the true expression of life and the essence of art itself.â€ â€œEach person perceives reality from a personal point of view and each point of view is different, unique and truly valid. For me, a first impression, a moment in time, starts the creation process that works itself out on canvas. There are many great stories that are told through my work which I hope will speak to you as you view my work.â€ His paintings are not just pretty or interesting pictures to look at. They become a playground, not only for the eye, but also for the mind. They evoke our own ideas and feelings to what is going on in the scenes and the subjects that are there. There is a constant attraction and curiosity to his works, and their style of whimsy and unusual character that will play continually in our imagination for our own stories. They are a fun and pleasure for a person to have in their environment and seem to be very much so for visitors to your home, business, or office. I have several of his works and they are a joy to have whenever I see them. So, I am prompted to put his works out into the world for many people to see and enjoy as much as many others I know do. This will be the first of many to be introduced, as there will be links provided to gallery pages of additional works. This painting was unframed and carefully rolled up for affordable shipping to areas outside of San Diego and beyond. You will then be able to choose your own frame that is appropriate and suites your environment and decor. To obtain this Painting, contact me to make arrangements at 619-282-7721. If I miss your call, please leave a message with your callback number on #2 for Peter. If you are not in the San Diego area, I can ship to you wherever you are in the US or Canada. As soon as I get your shipping address I can determine what the cost is. Shipping insurance for the full amount will be included. I will assure you that I will not pad the shipping costs. They will be accurate. Everything will be done to insure a safe and timely delivery for your painting. Thank you for your interest, Peter ]]>

<![CDATA[This is a beautiful work of art. It is a cast iron statue of a horse and jockey clearing a steeplechase hedge. It is mounted on a green marble base. The underside of the marble base is covered in felt to protect the desktop or shelf on which it will be displayed. I believe it to be vintage, perhaps an antique, but it is very difficult to determine. The detail of the art work is impressive. Tack, horse and jockey features were clearly sculpted from the saddle to the reins to the jockey'cap. The piece weighs 16.2 pounds. It is finished in a flat black as were most pieces of vintage cast iron. I think this artwork would make a wonderful commemorative or honorarium. An enscription plaque can be attached to the marble base making it a lasting piece of memorabilia. Or it can find a home on your desk or shelf or on the desk or shelf of someone to whom it may have importance. It undoubtedly is a conversation piece. Piece measures 13 inches long, 4 1/2 inches wide and 9 1/4 inches tall. Camera lens may distort picture. Everything is perfect. .I have this priced to sell. I live in Escondido easily accessible from San Diego to Del Mar to Orange County. E-mail me with any questions or call 760-741-1058 for an appointment and directions. ]]>

<![CDATA[Bisque Porcelain ceramic dolls. Ten (10) heads total with matching (more or less) composite articulating bodies. Also have a bunch of clothes, wigs, Etc. that were specific to these dolls. It appears that the maker/collector was in the process of re-painting or restoring all the dolls. I know very little about doll, but believe some of the markings indicate rather desirable items even as repros. There is one doll that stands out as a bona fide antique. If I am unable to find new homes for these locally, they are going on Ebay or off to a doll shop or collector. I am not looking to make a mint, but will not give these away either. So please, no insulting offers. That said, here are some measurements and markings that may be useful. Most if not all the bodies will need to be restrung. Doll #1 NOT A REPRO! Head cir 4" overall height 7" bisque head, arms, and legs. Body seems to be paper. Head needs to be restrung. He/she is clothed. Marking on back of head reads Italy I/o. #2 She is still together and clothed!

<![CDATA[<center> Original piece - measures 43 inches by 29 inches. Done on melamine - with many layers of paint, using splatter technique. Itinerate artist Selene Kosniak grew up in New York city, but spent his last years dividing his time between Oceanside, Ca, and a horse ranch in Texas. He would tell me his pieces had images partly hidden by the splatters, but I could never see them. So he made this piece to illustrate his technique to me. <img src="http://members.cox.net/pollyfukuhara/images/art1.jpg"> </center>]]>

<![CDATA[The Man behind the Wooden Masks A Colima artist carries on a family tradition by Susan Dearing Gorgonio Candelario Castro's family has been making hand-crafted wooden masks for 3 generations, and any sons of Gorgonio will continue the tradition. Gorgonio is a Nahua Indian. The Nahua are descendents of the Aztecs and direct heirs to their language and culture. Many Nahua areas, such as Suchitlan, Colima, where Gorgonio lives, maintain strong roots to the pre-Hispanic cultures. Suchitlan is at the base of Colima's active volcano, "Volcan de Fuego." Gorgonio's family will continue making masks as long as there are descendents to make them--all because of a special miracle. Almost a hundred years ago, Gorgonio's grandfather, Don Basilio, had a child who was very sick. He was not expected to survive the day. Don Basilio took the infant to the local church in Suchitlan and began to pray for his stricken son. He made a promise to God that if his son lived, he would continue the tradition of making masks for generations to come. Family legend has it that the boy made a miraculous recovery, and the men have been making masks ever since. Among the Nahuas, mask makers are special citizens. The masks themselves have a distinctive purpose and are used in several celebrations. The Nahua have existed for more than 2,000 years, and are peaceful people--farmers and craftsmen--who respect the land and its creatures. In generations past, the honored mask makers would chew peyote in a sacramental ritual prior to plying their trade. The visions that resulted from the hallucinogen became the basis for the mask designs, and the masks would be carved and painted in the days the "mascarero" was under the influence of the psychotropic drug. The language, Nahuatl, is unique, but is spoken by many different tribes throughout North America. It is taught at the University of Colima, and in many small pueblos of indigenous peoples, is preferred as the spoken dialect. In Nahua writing and poetry, a recurrent theme includes the land, and plant and animal life. One of the biggest celebrations in Suchitlan is the "Fiesta de los Animales," or "Fiesta of the Animals." This revelry is in conjunction with the "Blessing of the Animals," (usually on or around October 4) in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. Participants wear masks representing all the animals of the land. Animals of all types, from family pets to farm animals, are brought to the church to be blessed. During these events, dances, such as "La Danza de los Morenos," ("Dance of the Colored People") are performed, with background music* from man-made instruments. This dance depicts pairs of animals, who dance in front of the Roman solders guarding the tomb of Jesus, to distract them from the resurrection. The masks are made in pairs of both male and female animals, representing Noah's animals on the Ark. Another time that masks are used is at the "Fiesta of Santa Cruz" on May 3. Crosses made of flowers are placed in the streets and a masked procession lead by "Jesus of Nazareth" goes to the church. Suchitlan is well known for its celebration of the "Fiesta of the Three Kings." On January 6, a cable is stretched from a post to the church tower, and attached to it a large star made of reeds and paper. Adults all portray the Three Kings and their followers. Surrounded by the townspeople, they gather beneath the star, which is moved forward to the accompaniment of stories and songs. The play lasts for two hours while the kings follow the mysterious star--performing this drama as the missionaries from long ago taught it to them. March 19 is the day of an agricultural festival, "Los Paspaques de Suchitlan." It is an indigenous Nahua celebration centered on all forms of corn: tortillas, tostadas, pozole, atole, etc. Gorgonio learned the craft of mask-making from his father, Herminio, who has won awards for his work at the national level. His grandfather, Don Basilio, not only made masks, but he taught native dances to Suchitlan residents, and, through his love of tradition, kept indigenous dances from becoming a lost art. It takes about a week to make one mask from start to finish. First a tree must be cut down, then cut again into sections of about 2 feet in height. It is a special tree called the "colorina," that is hard enough to be durable, yet soft enough to be carved. The sections are halved, then boiled. The boiling gets the sap out, which protects the wood from insect infestation. The design is sketched in pencil, then roughed out with dull knives and crude hand chisels. The serious carving begins using ancient hand-made tools of various widths and sizes for gouging, chipping, shaving and cutting. Finally, the wood is finely sanded, exterior and interior, and filled where necessary with a mixture of wood shavings and gesso. (These masks are worn for hours so they must be smooth and comfortable inside as well as outside.) Finally, they are ready for painting, and a base coat is applied and allowed to dry overnight. The paint used is oil-based, so adequate drying time is a must. Other layers of paint are applied, one on top of another, and all must be dried overnight. Finally, a coat of lacquer is applied for protection. Masks are painted in various colors and designs. Rarely, are any two alike. The family makes more than 100 different types of masks, each with a unique purpose. Gorgonio is 29 years old and has lived in Suchitlan all his life. Of his work he says, "I like working in wood very much, and through my work, I enjoy meeting many people from different countries." Since the mask maker of the village must devote all of his time to his craft, in decades past the villagers provided him and his family with food and shelter. Gorgonio lives in a wood and tarpaper shack with a dirt floor, and no electricity, but through his mask sales, he is starting the construction of a cement house. As he sells masks, he buys a little more cement and brick, and gradually, he'll have a better home for his family. Though poor by our standards, he lives a life rich in culture and tradition, in a community where he is held in the highest esteem. You may help Gorgonio by purchasing any mask featured in this article, or you may ask him to make any other animal, or King, for the "Fiesta of the 3 Kings," by contacting Susan Dearing. Suchitlan, Colima, one of three Nahua enclaves in the state, is located 40 minutes north of the state capital, Colima City, and sits at the base of the Volcan de Fuego, or Fire Volcano, which is currently very active. Because of its higher altitude, it's lush and tropical, and nearly always cool. The only restaurant, "Los Portales," which serves excellent Mexican cuisine, has coffee trees growing in its courtyard, and is decorated with wooden masks made by Gorgonio and his father. Local coffee growers have won awards for their product in competitions all over the world. Another special day is June 24, where a very unusual game is played. It is somewhat like football, except that the players toss headless chickens to one another and then race to a goal! This pueblo is also famous for its municipal band, which is actually a folk group that travels throughout the region performing for various events. * The background music for this story commemorates the sun, and is part of the rich tradition of Suchitlan. It is performed by musicians with man-made instruments. Flutes made from bamboo, horns made from conch shells, and wooden drums covered with animal skin are featured in this composition passed down for centuries. The masks are featured at the Maria Cumbé Boutique and Bazaar, Km. 12.5 Blvd. Miguel de la Madrid, Salagua (under Jan Castillo's English/Spanish School). Other artisans of the state also have exhibits at the store, and there are several different styles of masks for the collector. ]]>
