New Perspective

I recently went to see my friend Jefferey Beauchamp’s show at the Seager/Gray Gallery in Mill Valley.  It was beautiful!  I’ve known Jeff for more than twenty years and  of course his art has changed over that time.  I realized that somewhere durring that time he has become a master of his medium.  He can realize any idea he wants in his painting and then throw in some elements to surprize you and make you look at the whole picture again, with a new perspective.

This one is called Proper and Common, some of my best friends are nouns and it’s one of my favorites.  I love how the trees and crows are realistic, I feel like I recognize them and yet the world they inhabit is not the everyday one.  If I can pause and look at the world from the point of view of the crows or trees, maybe this is what I could see.

So go see this show, it’s beautiful and eye-opening and makes me feel happy to be part of this big, crazy and perhaps a little bit magical world!  It might change your perspective too.
