Inspired by...
His vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time. His intelligence well combined with his artistic abilities is the most intriguing and inspiring to me.

Abstracts and the Hidden Realities
When I begin an abstract I do not have a plan other than following the basic rules listed below. I am just living in the moment. Seeking to express the feelings within my soul through a variety of colors and shapes.
I enjoy displaying movement in my abstract pieces. Why is movement so important in a pieces? Movement represents life within the painting and defines the core intelligence of the artist.
Not only is movement important in an abstract but texture gives the viewer a different aspect on the piece. When a viewer is able to look at the piece from many different angles and see a different perspective on it from each angle this is a manifestation of constitution. A few key elements to movement in a painting are the following:
-You don't want any type of a line be it horizontal,vertical, or diagonal that takes the viewers eye out of the picture plane or out of the painting. No line should take you out of the painting.
-Never have any triangular shapes in the corners when painting movement.
-Be certain that each segment is not the same size as the other.
-How and where the artists places the elements and what tools and techniques he uses to move the eye from one area to the other will determine how we prioritize what the viewer looks at. Large objects placed far apart will cause the eye to bounce from one to the other.
There are many ways and reasons to create movement in a painting...
-Rhythm creates predictability and order in the composition.
-Rhythm is used to create order and thus serves as a way to create an organized movement of the eye. Either gentle, graceful, rambling quick, or a fluid and rambling movement, etc.
-Rhythm creates a mood or tempo in very similar ways to how we relate to the tempo of music. Think of the differences between dance movements - the slow and fluid waltz and the fast upbeat cha-cha.
-Rhythm and movement is used by the artist to direct the viewer or to point the way.
Without doubt color is the subsistence of the an artists work.Taking its example from other European modernists like Joan Miró, the Color Field movement encompasses several decades from the mid 20th century through the early 21st century. Color Field painting actually encompasses three separate but related generations of painters. Commonly used terms to describe the three separate but related groups are Abstract expressionism, Post-Painterly Abstraction, and Lyrical Abstraction. Some of the artists made works in all three eras, that relate to all of the three styles. Color Field pioneers such as Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Barnett Newman, Adolph Gottlieb and Robert Motherwell are primarily thought of as Abstract Expressionists. Artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Sam Francis, Richard Diebenkorn, Jules Olitski, and Kenneth Noland were of a slightly younger generation or in the case of Morris Louis esthetically aligned with that generations point of view; that started out as Abstract Expressionists but quickly moved to Post-Painterly Abstraction. While younger artists like Frank Stella, Ronald Davis, Larry Zox, Larry Poons, Walter Darby Bannard, Ronnie Landfield, Dan Christensen, began with Post-Painterly Abstraction and eventually moved forward towards a new type of expressionism, referred to as Lyrical Abstraction. Many of the artists mentioned as well as many others have practiced all three modes at one phase of their careers or another. During the later phases of Color Field painting; as reflections of the zeitgeist of the late 1960s (in which everything began to hang loose) and the angst of the age (with all of the uncertainties of the time) merged with the gestalt of Post-Painterly Abstraction, producing Lyrical Abstraction which combined precision of the Color Field idiom with the malerische of the Abstract Expressionists. During the same period of the late 1960s early 1970s in Europe, Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer and several other painters also began producing works of intense expression, merging abstraction with images, incorporating landscape imagery and figuration that by the late 1970s was referred to as Neo-expressionism.
This evening I will begin another abstract piece. As I paint more abstracts I will add to this blog post and keep it updated.© 2011 Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo

These Dreams Are Made of These
In this post I am going to manifest my dreams over a prolonged period of time. In the near future I will paint a series of paintings of all of these dreams. As I paint each dream I will then post a photograph of the completed painting under the dream in which it resembles.
Intrigued by dreams and meanings as an artist I have a mysterious fascination to express my dreams through and present them to the world. The precedence of dreams and their meaning has had a significance to Native American Indians for centuries. Although my dreams at times can be frightening I truly believe they all have a meaning in which should be displayed.
Dream 1: The Serpent
Last night I dreamed of a snake attacking the one in my life whom I love and cherish the most in life.
What is the meaning of snakes in dreams you may ask. Snakes are symbolic of different things. Snakes are often seen as symbols of life, death and rebirth. In North American native tribes, the shedding of the snake's skin is associated with life and a new beginning.
In a writing about Snake Symbolism, Gillian Holloway, Ph.D. wrote, "People who are dying or who have lost a loved one often dream of snakes, at or near the time of death. For whatever reason, these dreams seem involved with the psychic awareness of the transition from this life to the next...."
Snakes are also seen as symbols representing evil. In other cases the snakes is seen as a phallic symbol.
It is said that recurring dreams indicate a fear or an unresolved issue. One way to deal with the recurring dream of the snakes is to try lucid dreaming. This is when you become conscious in your dream and are aware that you are dreaming.
However, lucid dreaming is not possible for me. I am not able to perform this technique. I often suffer from sleep paralysis when I sleep. It is said to be a heredity disorder. I do recall my mother telling me a few years ago she suffers from this also. It seems to get worse the older I get. Often times when I wake up from this I feel like all the energy has been sucked from my body.
Dream 2: The Large Dinosaur Like Creature
He walks through a valley of the most vivid purple colored flowers and grazes as if they were planted just for his appetite. While previously being blamed for picking all of the dainty fresh blossoms the people of the village watch over the large creäture as he exposes his taste for the flowers. Along with the villagers I stand by and admire the dinosaur like creäture. With no concern of the outside world he eats away. Content with what he has devoured he then strides off into the woods. Maybe he will return another day for a feast again.
Research and studies state to see a dinosaur in your dream signifies an outdated attitude. This animal has been wiped out for millions of years; this callous being lives on in our thoughts and dreams. To see in your dream a dinosaur’s body is a sign of treachery in society. To see a fallen dinosaur signifies a loss of adolescence.

Learning a Foreign Language is an Art
1) Spend the time!
By far the most important factor is how much time you are immersed in the language. The more time you spend with the language, the faster you will learn. This means listening, reading, writing, speaking, and studying words and phrases. This does not mean sitting in class looking out the window, nor listening to other students who do not speak well, nor getting explanations in your own language about how the language works. This means spending time enjoyably connected to the language you are learning.
In real life the brain is going be triggered to remember something that is either tragic or fun and comical. The brain is not as interested in the medium stage of something being just satisfied. Think of it this way for example. When you go to see fireworks are you more interested in the little firecrackers and is that what you most remember or do you remember the grand finale at the end and all of it's greatness? Most likely you will remember the grand finale and even the approximate time it lasted.
2) Listen and read every day!
Listen wherever you are on your MP3 player. Read what you are listening to. Listen to and read things that you like, things that you can mostly understand, or even partly understand. If you keep listening and reading you will get used to the language. One hour of listening or reading is more effective than many hours of class time.
Watch short films on the youtube with subtitles so you can get used to the language. Read newspaper articles. Read short blog articles. Comic books are always very helpful and fun in remember and trigger the brain with funny expressions just as cartoons also are. Watch the news in a foreign language of which you are learning.
3) Focus on words and phrases!
Build up your vocabulary, you’ll need lots. Start to notice words and how they come together as phrases. Learn these words and phrases through your listening and reading. Read online, using online dictionaries, and make your own vocabulary lists for review. Soon you will run into your new words and phrases elsewhere. Gradually you will be able to use them. Do not worry about how accurately you speak until you have accumulated a plenty of words through listening and reading. It may be even helpful for you to place a sticky note on a few objects are the house or office with the name of the object on the note written in the foreign language you are trying to learn.
4.) Write but make it fun. Many people now these days enjoy blogging. Write a short blog article (post) on a subject that interests you or something you enjoyed doing in your native language. Then rewrite (use google translate to help you) the article in the foreign language you are trying to learn. Now for one week read that article to yourself of which you have written in the new language. Don't forget the mind remembers a lot when listening also so listen to it being read to you on google translate. The following week write another one.
5.) Take responsibility for your own learning!
If you do not want to learn the language, you won’t. If you do want to learn the language, take control. Choose content of interest, that you want to listen to and read. Seek out the words and phrases that you need to understand your listening and reading. Do not wait for someone else to show you the language, nor to tell you what to do. Discover the language by yourself, like a child growing up. Talk when you feel like it. Write when you feel like it. A teacher cannot teach you to become fluent, but you can learn to become fluent if you want to.
6.) Relax and enjoy yourself!
Do not worry about what you cannot remember, or cannot yet understand, or cannot yet say. It does not matter. You are learning and improving. The language will gradually become clearer in your brain, but this will happen on a schedule that you cannot control. So sit back and enjoy. Just make sure you spend enough time with the language. That is the greatest guarantee of success.

High School Art Reunion!!!! Do you have any Art from High school?
Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo
"Soooo exciting!!!! I got this in an email today :) from my high school friend. So I decided it was time to restore the little crab :) LOL I did not even remember drawing this for her until she showed sent it to me today.
I drew this 19 years ago in my good friend Amy's yearbook at the end of our freshman year in high school. Today August 20,2011 Amy scanned it and sent me the file. In my next piece of art you will see where I digi painted it and restored it. This is the only yearbook that survived a house fire Amy had. What a treasure to have old high school art I drew that many years ago!" ~Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo~
"A year in the past is treasure box in itself but a piece of art from a yearbook in the past is a chunk of gold from that treasure box "©Angela Pari Dominic Chumroo

Andee Photography in response to Art from Highschool
"My art from high school was lost in the move over 20 years ago! Sigh....I do have a few poster board drawings that my grandfather had hanging on his walls and when he past I was able to have them. That is all I have left. I wish my kid could have seen them. The yearbooks seem to have be lost as well! Sigh again! Although I do have 3 elementary yearbooks and the year I was in 1st grade out local team won the Super bowl and they had a photo of the team. In 2004 or 5 I had a chance to meet the Football Hall of Fame QB of that era and had him sign by his photo. He had never seen one before and so he took time to look at it. Very cool he took the time to look at it. Odd he never had seen one before that.
I had a couple portrait drawings that made it into an art magazine book for those two years or maybe one..anyway I can not find those either. Sad to loose the cool stuff!"~Andee Photography~

"The only class reunion my school had was the 35th year reunion, 23 years ago.
I recognized all the females, for they started out as fine young ladies and remained as fine young ladies.
With the guys, I didn't recognized any of them, for they started out as little boys and ended up as little old men.
Now, with high school artwork, the work I can readily get to, is my work in the year book.
This design was created for a poem about the beauty in decay....I saw paint peeling and felt it was perfect...The poem never made it but the background remained.
(by the way, the author of the top poem, Nina Castelli, is the daughter of Leo Castelli) "
"Here's other work I did for the yearbook...More in keeping of what they might expect...cartoons."
"By the way, the "Negative" was done by filling in with black ink...I thought that using a negative print was cheating." ~Roger Swezey~
Beth Akerman
"I have all my artwork from high school in my garage, and all the artwork of both my children too. This is one that I painted back my senior year of high school in the early 80s." ~Beth Akerman~
Warren Sarle
"I was a yearbook photographer for three years in high school, taking about half the photos. Those yearbooks are online. We did artsy-fartsy things like solarization and montages and fisheye photos. But I think my sports photos are better. So here's 2/3 of a solarized football photo (it was spread over two pages):" ~Warren Sarle~

For me the earliest stuff that I still have (no idea why I keep it around) is from 1967/8 from art classes in high school.
