2009 / pens and pencils This one’s for my cousin, Mickey, who lost his life when drafted to fight a senseless war in Vietnam. Just before he left us and went overseas, he taught me how to throw a curve ball. He was a great ball player, a good man, and I loved him.

Chapel at DeGrazia's Gallery in the Sun by James Lewis Hamilton
I recently reformatted this submission, inspired to do so by joining the Creative Cards group with its new strict dictum’s on card design and presentation. These changes are fairly simple in Photo-shop, but going back and forth into and out of RB to check how the image really looks on ‘the card’ takes some time. (for instance saving the whole Saguaro cactus on the left hand side took some back and forth). With practice its getting easier! I’ve decided this is a valid RB ‘card’ design because it may communicate the concept of a simple, more grounded (earthier) faith to some one who might never see the actual chapel, but get this essence. In Tucson, Arizona the most well known local artist is Ted DeGrazia. He died in the early 80’s but his Gallery in the Sun, at his rustic desert foothills property still thrives and is now a tourist attraction. They allow other artists to have shows at their “Little Gallery” and it’s there with my new mother-in-law that we shared a show in 1997, with her marble sculptures and my pen & ink sketches of Boulders of the Dragoon mountains. There was lots of spare time while ‘sitting’ our show, so a series of DeGrazia Gallery sketches were made. This one is of the rustic adobe chapel Ted built years before. Drawn in my Canson sketch book

Dragonfly...Trapped by Janis Zroback
“Trapped” is part of a series of four Dragonfly images, one for each season, that are painted in a different style…the other three will be posted later on….”Toward the Light”, seen below, is not part of this set.. / The paper is heavily gessoed and while wet I incise shapes, and remove sections of the plaster, until I am happy with the results…after drying, I paint the details, add more gesso, more incising is done, until I feel the work is complete… / The Dragonflies are trapped metaphorically and physically in the frigid cold of winter, along with the leaves of the forest, but there is also the impression of a wire fence, holding them fast till spring releases them... dedicated to all who feel trapped…trapped by love, by guilt, by penury, by wealth, by pain and suffering…..release will soon be here Watercolour on Gessoed Paper / Toward The Light

About This Group
Art Brut (Raw Art) can be loosely understood as “outside” of official culture.
Raw art, “raw” in that it has not been through the “cooking” process: the art world of art schools, galleries, museums.
Jean Dubuffet characterized Art Brut as:
“Those works created from solitude and from pure and authentic creative impulses – where the worries of competition, acclaim and social promotion do not interfere – are, because of these very facts, more precious than the productions of professions.”
This group is for those who create work within these parameters; those who look “outside” the traditions of high culture for inspiration.
A number of terms are used to describe this art, and there are areas of overlap between them.
Art Brut, Ousider Art, Visionary Art, Intuitive Art, Marginal Art.
This group is for work created in the spirit of these terms.
