Re: A small favor...

Thanks for the votes and kind words. And votes!

Still a little time left. Last I checked I'm in the top three, so this is not futile. Your vote counts!

Re: Art and Healing at Boston's Spaulding Hospital

Beautiful...thank you for sharing this with us, Paul Do you have work on display in RI ? My family is in RI and I'd love to see some of your work when I'm there next.

Art and Healing at Boston's Spaulding Hospital

After a bit of a hiatus (two back-to-back installations), I've posted a blog entry about the art program at the new Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. The program includes quite a large piece that I created for the lobby (file under Shameless Self Promotion). You can read about here: https...

The [Legal] Artist

Stumbled upon this blog about art and law written by an attorney who, in addition to a law degree from Northeastern, holds a BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. Might be of interest to this community: http://thelegalartist.com/

Re: How to you confront the "blank canvas"?

I get the two-types idea...maybe its a bell curve along an axis with one end having people not visualizing anything before starting to break glass, and the other end people that lay it all out in detail. Most artists would enjoy just getting started and winging it, but depending on the work, some v...

Re: How to you confront the "blank canvas"?

I have been thinking about this very subject, so thank you for bringing it up. Lately I am encouraging myself to develop the idea in my mind, and then think about how to do it. I find that if I become concerned, during the design process, with technique and issues related to the medium, it stunts m...

How to you confront the "blank canvas"?

I think artists tend to fall into two groups: those you "see" the work complete in their mind's eye, and those who "discover" the work through grappling with the medium. (Actually, in most cases, I think it's a bit of both.) I wrote a blog piece about this in reference to a large...

Re: Blogging about a large architectural glass installation

Good luck with the project Paul, will we be able to check it out at the time of installation. Bob Once the hospital is finished and taking patients, the lobby will be open to the public. If you are asking whether you will be able to visit during the actual installation of the art glass, I would hav...

Blogging about a large architectural glass installation

This Sunday, I’m heading to Germany to work on an exciting new glass art installation for the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston’s Charlestown Navy Yard. Over the next few weeks, I plan (hope) to blog about the experience. If you're interested, you can follow along here: http://www.glasspro...

Can Colors be Trademarked?

Well, no, they can't. Not exactly. But, trademark and copyright issues have been a perennial topic of discussion on the Warm Board, so I thought I would share these links to a post I published on my blog and on Facebook about "trade dress". Curious to know if this changes your thinking abo...

You can use almost any pigment on a sandblasted surface. Artist's oils work well. Bear in mind that this is not as permanent as fired on color. Ok for sculpural and non-functional work. The technique is not without controversy. Some feel it is not an honest use of the material. However, Jay Musler, ...

The bottom line is that some works of art contain a factor that is compelling to buyers. When you got it, you got it, whether it is from size or sparkle or content or color... The catch is that Picasso had it and so does Chihuly and Thomas Kincaide... Interesting set of examples, Bert. Picasso: pro...
