Making positive changes in your life
can make you feel Reborn. Think about it!
Change is something that affects all of us. We sometimes embrace
change and other times we fight it.
If you take the attitude of embracing change and finding the goo in it your life will be easier and happier.
As Charles Kettering once said, " The world hates change, yet it is
the only thing that has brought progress." Which supports the statement made by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Life is a progress, and not a station.

My collector loved this painting when I did

me to do 3 - 24 x 36" Blue Nude Paintings
for his wall display, he wanted it repainted in Blue.
If you see any of my paintings that are already sold
I would be happy to repaint a very similar one for you
or I can design one for you specifically.

Help for the Disabled Homeless by k Madison Moore
Homeless To Be Housed In Tiny House Village In Austin (VIDEO / PICS)
I saw this on Facebook as was so touched that this group is helping the disabled homeless
in Texas. So wonderful and inspiring and makes me feel even more grateful for everything I have.
Purchase a painting from me between now and the end of 2013 and you
will receive a discount price and a percentage of the funds will go to this
charity.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Don't forget the less fortunate this holiday.
Just when we think the only news that comes out of Texas makes us all wince and groan, we find a story like this from the true heart of Texas — Austin. The Community First! Village is a program ofMobile Loaves & Fishes. It sits on a 27-acre master-planned community and will provide affordable, sustainable housing for approximately 200 chronically homeless disabled people in Central Texas.
“It will be a gated community who’s [sic] access is limited to the residents and their registered invited guests,” said project founder Alan Graham. (KVUE)
The motivation of Mobile Loaves & Fishes — and Graham — is their faith.
We’re not called to be successful. We’re called to be faithful.
He continued:
We’ve been really active in pulling people up off the street and into housing – housing that they pay rent on. We just help them get in the housing.
Residents of Community First! will work, with some using street vending carts to make a living. Graham explained:
We also have a giant wood shop where people are very gifted and talented in building things. So we want to empower people into a purposeful cultivating lifestyle of working.
The community has been in planning for 10 years, with Mobile Loaves & Fishes serving the Central Texas homeless population for 14 years. Homes include tiny cottages, mobile homes, and even tepees. Most kitchens and bathrooms will be communal.
Some of the amazing features of this little village:
- A 3-acre garden
- A medical facility
- A workshop
- A bed and breakfast in the form of an air stream motel
- Tiny individual gardens for each home
- An interfaith chapel in a separate cottage
- A vintage outdoor movie theater that will do public screenings
Graham said that it’s not been easy to convince everyone to be on board with helping homeless people, but they like the idea of the bed and breakfast and the movie theater. Well, and the fact that the folks will be working and paying rent.
We haven’t converted everybody [to the idea of housing the homeless], but when people come out here they go, ‘Oh!’ They see a chapel; they see medical and vocational services on site, and they learn that residents will not live there for free; they’ll pay a monthly rent. (News 90.5/KUT.org)
If that’s not enough, perhaps some Texans will take comfort in how this will affect the thing that really matters most to many of them: money. Graham points out that if 200 chronically homeless people become more self-sufficient, the $6.5 million project could save taxpayers in Central Texas approximately $10 million per year. Downtown Austin businesses expect to see a boon as 20 percent of Austin’s homeless will be taken off the streets, thereby motivating business owners and government officials to jump on board.
Community First! is funded entirely with private money and has raised half the funding it needs. They are expecting to complete the project and begin moving people in by 2015. To donate, click here. You can follow their progress by liking the Mobile Loaves & Fishes Facebook page.
Austin…it’s like a whole other country inside Texas.

Twisted Secrets Museum Interior Oil Painting by k Madison Moore Pennsylvania Artist
Twisted Secrets
Inspired by Pablo Picasso
©kMadisoMooreFineArtInc.2013
Art Museum Collection Series
14 x 18 Museum Interior Oil Painting on Canvas
In this painting I wanted to portray not only the beautiful work of Picasso but a bit of his state of mind. You will notice that the walls are a bit twisted as well as the frames , just slightly, but twisted. These are also a few of my very favorite of his paintings.
I have worked with Picasso so much being one of my favorite artists, that I always notice how he twists his figures and other elements in his paintings. It seems he needs to show more
than one angle with one single figure. You have had to notice the misplacement of eyes, noses, breasts projecting more than one angle. etc. in many and most of his works. Seeing the same face in many angles at one time and executing that idea, wow!
Although we all know how wonderfully talented he was and the incredible amount of work he produced in his lifetime, do we ever think of how he accomplished all of that and why? To me it is a sate of mind. The mind of a genus that is twisted in many ways. Did he have many twisted secrets that he had to portray in paint? What was his inner most secret, one that he could not verbalize so had to be projected otherwise, in paint, for his own sanity? Only he really knew the true meaning to all of those twisted figures.
If you look at the works of van Gogh they will have and entirely different affect on you than Picasso's works. You do not really see the insanity that was present but the mellow, softness, serenity and beauty of where he was within. Yet, most look at Picasso in an entirely different manner and as totally sane but was he?
I find it interesting that so many artists are tortured in some way and yet paint such beautiful works. Many that portray who they really are deep down inside and not so much what
you see on the cover. You can tell a lot by studying the works of the masters, any artists really! I look at the work and wonder what they were thinking and feeling at the first stroke of that painting. I can look at it again and again and see something different each time. That is the wonder of art!
Here is book that I found. I have not read it yet but it has great reviews. I just ordered it so I will let you now but it looks really interesting - Tortured Artists - From Picasso and Monroe to Warhol and Winehouse, the Twisted Secrets of the Worlds Most Creative Minds.
I guess what it comes down to is, that God may take something away from us but certainly something else wonderful will replace it.
Enjoy

Homage to Red Skelton Clown Painting by k Madison Moore Pennsylvania Artist
Freddie and Me
Homage to Red Skelton
©kMadisonMooreFineArtInc.2013
16 x 20 Clown Oil Painting on Canvas
SOLD
When I was a kid I used to love Red Skelton and used to watch his TV show all the time with my grandparents. I always loved when he did his famous clown Freddie. I thought it would be fun to do a Homage to this great comedian and his clown paintings. I'm giving away my age now, lol!
Red Skelton began painting early in his career but after his television show ended he became prolific. He painted and sketched hundreds of original pieces and by the end of the 1980's one of his original paintings would sell in the high five figure range.
Red Skelton often painted himself as a clown. One of his paintings, The Sky's the Limit, was inspired by a trip he and his wife Lothian made to Hawaii, during which he went parasailing.
Enjoy
Freddie and Me - Homage to Red Skelton
This was his painting that inspired me to do this composition.
Richard Bernard "Red" Skelton (July 18, 1913 – September 17, 1997) was an American entertainer best known for being a national radio and TV comedian between 1937 and 1971. Skelton, who has stars on the Hollywood Hall of Fame , began his show business career in his teens as a circus clown and continued on vaudeville and Broadway and in films, radio, TV, nightclubs, and casinos , all while he pursued an entirely separate career as an artist.
Skelton began producing artwork in 1943, but kept his works private for many years. He said he was inspired to try his hand at painting after visiting a large Chicago department store that had various paintings on display. Inquiring as to the price of one which Skelton described as "a bunch of blotches", he was told, "Ten thousand wouldn't buy that one." Skelton said he told the clerk he was one of the ten thousand who would not buy the painting, instead buying his own art materials. His wife, Georgia, a former art student, persuaded Skelton to have his first public showing of his work in 1964 at the Las Vegas hotel where he was entertaining at the time. Skelton originals are priced at $80,000 and upward; Skelton once estimated the sale of his lithographs earned him $2.5 million per year.
In Death Valley Junction California , Skelton found a kindred spirit when he saw the artwork and pantomime performances of Marta Becket. Today, circus performers painted by Marta Becket decorate the Red Skelton Room in the Amargosa Hotel, where Skelton stayed four times in Room 22. The room is dedicated to Skelton, as explained by John Mulvihill in his essay, "Lost Highway Hotel"

I always just love working with Kandinsky and all his brilliant primary colors. Just had to do this one large format!
It's hard to believe how many paintings he did in black and white at one time in his career. See some of his black and whites at the link below - Kandinsky at MOMA.
I had a great time with all the details in his name
So much fun painting the glass on the table
Nothing better than high heeled Nikes to go with a Kandinsky!

Kandinsky Concerning the Spiritual in Art
Published in 1911, Kandinsky's book compares the Spiritual life of humanity to a pyramid - the artist has a mission to lead others to the pinnacle with his work. The point of the pyramid is those few, great artists. It is a spiritual pyramid, advancing and ascending slowly even if it sometimes appears immobile. During decadent periods, the sou sinks to the bottom of the pyramid; humanity searches only for external success, ignoring spiritual forces.
Colors on the painter's palette evoke a double effect: a purely physical effect on the eye which is charmed by the beauty of colors, similar to the joyful impression when we eat a delicacy. This effect can be much deeper, however, causing a vibration of the soul or an "inner resonance"—a spiritual effect in which the color touches the soul itself.
"Inner necessity" is, for Kandinsky, the principle of art and the foundation of forms and the harmony of colors. He defines it as the principle of efficient contact of the form with the human soul. Every form is the delimitation of a surface by another one; it possesses an inner content, the effect it produces on one who looks at it attentively. This inner necessity is the right of the artist to unlimited freedom, but this freedom becomes license if it is not founded on such a necessity. Art is born from the inner necessity of the artist in an enigmatic, mystical way through which it acquires an autonomous life; it becomes an independent subject, animated by a spiritual breath.

Painting with The Masters
Art within Art Series
11 x 14 Interior Oil Painting on Canvas
SOLD
When Monet traveled to Paris to visit the Louvre, he witnessed painters copying from the old masters. Having brought his paints and other tools with him, he would instead go and sit by a window and paint what he saw. Maybe this window? The painting in this window is my take on one of Monet's. His colors are so soft and pastel so what better than light furniture and lovely floral patterns every where. Lot's of fun doing all the details in this one.
Monet was in Paris for several years and met other young painters who would become friends and fellow impressionists; among them was Edwardo Manet.
Monet found subjects in his immediate surroundings, as he painted the people and places he knew best. His first wife, Camille and his second wife, Alice, frequently served as models. His landscapes chart journeys around the north of Franceand to London, where he escaped the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. Returning to France, Monet moved first to Argenteuil, just fifteen minutes from Paris by train, then west to Vétheuil, Poissy, and finally to the more rural Giverny in 1883. His homes and gardens became gathering places for friends, including Manet and Renoir, who often painted alongside their host.
Enjoy
In love with Monet

Art Museum Collection Series
11 x 14 Interior Painting by k Madison Moore
I always love painting with Peter Max because his
palette is basically primary brilliant colors. He paints
the prettiest women so I thought an exhibit with them
would be great. He has so many that it was hard to
decide but these are my favorites. Of course the
Baldwin piano that he painted is fascinating and
fun so great for this exhibit.
Peter loves to paint hearts and I love his work so
much I thought I would include a few in the flooring.
Enjoy
The Ladies of Peter Max Exhibit
Max's art work was first identified as having been a popular part of the counter culture and psychedelic movements in graphic design during the late 1960s and early 1970s. He is known for using intense bursts of color, often containing much or all of the visible spectrum. His work was both influenced by, as well as widely imitated by, others in the field of commercial illustration, such as Heinz Edelmann. Peter Max' repeated claims, varying in detail, to have worked on "Yellow Submarine" has been denied by the production team.

24 x 36 Interior Oil Painting on Canvas
Commission - Sold
A couple of years ago I painted the painting that the artist is painting
in this painting....whew, that was a mouthful, lol!
The painting was called Dora and Picasso on a Sunday Afternoon. I decided
to use the same painting for this artist but have her painting it in her Paris
Studio with all of her set ups for her painting surrounding her.
I just love the way the tops of the building out of the window continues into the
painting. I placed all the elements she is using close to the one's in her painting.
Look at the hat and glasses on the floor and then right above it they are in the painting.
The same with the watermelon, the lute and the music sheet.
Having all of her fun things around her, books tubes of paint on the floor
and of course her mac laptop at her fingertips is just what an artist does and loves!
Mr Bird in his cage looking over her was a fun touch.
This was great fun but being large format took a loooooog time to paint!
Loved it!

A bit about Doa Marr
Dora Maar was born in Paris, France, on November 22, 1907. When she was 19, she began pursuing the artistic life, studying painting and photography. Her work had begun garnering attention when she met Pablo Picasso, and her life would never be the same. Living in the shadow of the greatest artist of her time, Maar suffered from self-doubt and depression through a nine-year romantic affair with Picasso.
