This is a photo of a very close friend, noted musician and songwriter Tom Gray, who was terminally ill when I visited him at his home in Decatur, Georgia. He was always a serious guitarist and would not let his disease slow his "Blues Hands." He passed in October of 2021. A musician till the end...

SDED-XXXVI (Mi-Re-La)
Acrylic on canvas over plywood, and five 1.13mm silver plated acoustic guitar strings,
31.25 x 20 x .75 in (79 x 51 x 2 cm)
Well, spending time among musicians and their instruments awakens a certain challenge that is hard to ignore: can I make a painting be a musical instrument or a musical instrument a painting? I understand there are boundaries that are impossible to cross but, if anything, the artist is the right person to try crossing... the impossible!
The entire piece was built around a well thought out system that will keep in place five guitar strings mounted on the canvas to be the visual armature that hold together the entire painting. Two windows are moving the strings and their canvas support in and out the main plain, landing a minimalist right color balance hard to discount. In true musical fashion, three yellow dots in the upper plain (suggesting musical notes) should read (in solfège): "Mi-Re-La." I am not sure how much of a string instrument this piece is (considering that it was never meant to be one!) but it certainly makes a delicious, happy painting that it only promises to produce sounds (if cornered!). A perfect new (sound) dimension added to the 2-D, 3-D piece.
This SDED-XXXVI piece uses the same indispensable elements to make a 2-D to 3-D transition believable: optical illusions, real objects, relevant chromatic contrasts.

Droplets of water magnify whatever is around them and can be used as their own macro lens. I built a makeshift platform between two small tables and used a piece of 16" x 20" glass from an old photograph which was placed horizontally over the ground on my patio. I rubbed a coat of liquid carnuba car wax onto the glass and then used a small atomizer water bottle to spray the water onto the glass. The carnuba wax does an excellent job of making the water bead just as it would on your car. I then setup the pot of flowers under the glass and placed books under until It was at the right height in comparison to the glass. Using a tripod to lock my camera in place, I setup so my camera was perfectly level facing straight down. After getting the correct focus, I moved the flowers around left to right slightly until I was happy with what was being magnified in the beads of water, focused and fired some shots.
