Drawing by Cassie Leary
1996, age 4

This image has been with us since 1996. My memory escapes me and I cannot recall anything else. I have several children’s images from that time and will be presenting them as art.
This image expresses all the existential feelings of “I am here but where am I?” that any artist seeks. Should any artist get as good as Cassie Leary age four then they have arrived at their destination.

Here is another

“My Brother and I” by Cassie Leary

Check out the dog!

What is art? It is the soul painted perfectly, it is the impression of beauty itself, it is an abstraction of color and shape, it is paint dripped on a canvas, it is rectangles of certain colors, it is a blank canvas painted a cream color, it is Elephant dung on a Madonna, it is an installation of string on a table, it is all of these. It is what you see above.

If you see good art on the frig, frame it!

Abstract Art 101

Keep adding paint until you get something.
Use shape and form and color to say something different to every observer.
Never finish the work, only abandon it. You’ll rediscover it later.
Don’t accept the first day’s effort.
If you hate it, add paint.
If it’s the wrong color add paint.
Paint until you are satisfied with it or have given up on it or have moved on.
Spend every penny you have on it and then put it up on the net and paint another.

My images are early internet. File size was important then. I have been asked to provide high density images. This is my first. You can scroll around in it and see how much oil paint I wasted. It can also be reproduced
I called it Stairway but you may call it whatever you please. It was painted abandoned for years and painted again. It is 48″ x 24″ on canvas and can be swept away by a mere $1000. If you are in Africa and need to get the General’s Wife’s millions out of the country then I’m your guy.
