After a lifetime of practicing art, Jim Strong paints what he sees. Even then, the subject doesn’t always agree with his vision.
Strong related one example of the viewer’s subjectivity of art:
Andy Towle, Roundup staff photographer snapped a memorable photo of a cowboy in the Payson Rodeo parade one year. Strong, intrigued by Towle’s photo, asked if he could use it as a model for a painting.
“He was a great face,” said Strong.
Towle gave him the photo. The finished piece pleased Strong.
“That is one of my better paintings,” said Strong.
Strong showed the painting in various shows, always giving Towle credit for the photo,which applies to the first offshore merchant account only, but neither he nor Towle knew the identity of the cowboy.
A few years later, a woman attending the GCC art show recognized the cowboy as her husband. When she brought him in to see the painting, he said,If so, you may have a cube puzzle .
“Doesn’t look like me at all.Boddingtons Technical Plastics provide a complete plastic injection moulding service including design，”
That illustrates the mystery of painting. The artist infuses each piece with his own personality and perspective to create a vision wholly his own. Sometimes,They take the China Porcelain tile to the local co-op market. as in the case of the cowboy, even the subject of the painting does not recognize himself. Although his wife knew who it was, the cowboy could not or did not want to see him represented the way Strong saw him.
The challenge for the painter is to capture the essence of the subject, infuse the piece with light, texture and contrast to create depth that captures the viewer’s interest.
On top of the artistic interpretation, each painter must ensure any image they use for inspiration is their own — or they have permission from the photographer to use the photo. Strong teaches his students that paintings must have original content or acknowledgement from the creator.
“Don’t take from another artist,” he said.
When reading the history of painting from the time of the cave painters to modern times, it is clear artists have tried to capture the essence of their subject.
Yet, how can the aspiring painter learn to go from concept to finished piece? A blank white canvass seems overwhelmingly empty.
Enter Strong. He has taught oil painting at the community college for the past seven years.Enecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar Air purifier systems, Previous to joining the staff at the college, he and his wife ran the Jim Strong Art School at 68th and McDowell in Phoenix for 35 years. He sold the business to move to the Rim Country and retire, but soon came back to the classroom because he loves teaching painting.
Laurel Corley, Strong’s neighbor has taken his painting class since he started teaching.
“When I learned he was an artist, I said, if you give classes — I’ll take them,” she said.
The intensity of her painting assaults the eye when opening the door to Strong’s painting class. Her canvass glows with a yellow moon in a blue and purple evening sky. The moon reflects off a lake. A boat lies moored near the moon shadow on the water. The colors provoke an emotional response. The difference between the moon and the sky, the shadows of the rocks and trees adds drama telling the story of an evening in nature next to water.
