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.

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

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"

The Spirit of Banksy Graffiti Street Scene by k Madison Moore
The Spirit of Banksy - Follow Your Dreams
©kMadisnMooreFineArtInc.2013
24 x 36 Graffiti Scene Oil Painting on Canvas
Sold - Commission
I am thrilled about this commission! One of my collectors
from England had a great concept for this painting. He loved
the recent painting I did of Warhol and His Marilyn's and came
up with the idea of having Bansky painting her on a wall in England.
Here's the kicker....no-one knows who Banksy is!! He has
been around painting his graffiti on walls all over the UK
many years and is now in New York.
He is known for slipping in, doing his thing and getting
out before the police catch him. So now you know
why the Police in this painting. Is the cop looking though
The Spirit of Banksy? What does he see?
Banksy's stencils feature striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment. Subjects often include rats, apes, policemen, soldiers, children, and the elderly.
My collector had a great idea. He gave me the facts and the
artistic freedom to create such a great piece with a lot of
meaning! I have to say this is an all the favorite for this year.
Obviously Banksy "is" Followng His Dreams!
Enjoy
The Spirit of Banksy
If you have a concept that you would like to work

Banksy
There have been numerous rumors and hypotheses as to Banksy's identity. Names often suggested include Robert Banks and Robin Gunninghm.
In 2004, an alleged photograph of him in Jamaica at the Two-Culture Clash Project surfaced. In October 2007, a story on the BBC website featured a photo allegedly taken by a passer-by in Bethnal Green , London, purporting to show Banksy at work with an assistant, scaffolding and a truck. The story confirms that Tower Hamlets Council in London has decided to treat all Banksy works as vandalism and remove them. Through the pictures, Banksy's identity was speculated to be Robin Gunningham, a man born in Bristol on 28 July 1973. Gunningham was educated at Bristol Cathedral Choir School and, according to a former friend, was "extremely talented at art." Gunningham lived with artist Luke Egan. Around 2000, when Banksy moved from Bristol to London, Gunningham is known to have moved from Bristol to a London flat in Hackney, and a number of Banksy's most famous works appeared nearby. At that time, Gunningham lived with Jamie Eastman, who worked for a record label that used illustrations by Banksy.
In May 2009, the Mail on Sunday once again speculated about Gunningham being Banksy after a "self-portrait" of a rat holding a sign with the face of the man on the 2004 photo shot on it was photographed in East London. This "new Banksy rat" story was also picked up by The Time and the Evening Standard. In response to reports that Banksy was Robin Gunningham, Banksy's agent refused to either confirm or deny the reports.
Simon Hattenstone from The Guardianis one of the very few people to have interviewed him face to face. Hattenstone describes him as "a cross of Jimmy Nail and British rapper Mike Skinner and "a 28-year old male who showed up wearing jeans and a t-shirt with a silver tooth, silver chain, and one silver earring. In the same interview, Banksy claimed that his parents think he is a painter and decorator.
Banksy himself states on his website:
I am unable to comment on who may or may not be Banksy, but anyone described as being 'good at drawing' doesn't sound like Banksy to me.
Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based graffiti artist, political activist, film director, and painter.
His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humor with graffiti done in a distinctive stenciling technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world.
Banksy's work was made up of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. According to author and graphic designer Tristan Manco and the book Home Sweet Home, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s." Observers have noted that his style is similar to Blek le Flat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris, Jef Aerosol, who sprayed his first street stencil in 1982 in Tours (France), and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass, which maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s. However, Banksy says he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist who later became a founding member of Massive Attack.
Known for his contempt for the government in labeling graffiti as vandalism, Banksy displays his art on public surfaces such as walls, even going as far as to build physical prop pieces. Banksy does not sell photos of street graffiti directly himself; however, art auctioneers have been known to attempt to sell his street art on location and leave the problem of its removal in the hands of the winning bidder. Banksy's first film, Exit Through the Gift Shop, billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie," made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.[9] The film was released in the UK on 5 March 2010.[10] In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary for the film.
