January 6th Select Committee Hearing - October 13, 2022

I am going to include here something I tweeted on the day of the attempted coup. I KNEW what I was watching on Jan 6 was an attempted coup. https://t.co/iGy0Hp75YY

Schiff: Secret Service knew this was coming. On January 5, someone threatened to bring a sniper rifle, and SS knew there were "quick reaction forces" in case Trump invoked the Insurrection Act. #HATH

The January 6th committee shows a text from Kylie Kremer to Mike Lindell indicating awareness, days before the attack, of Trump’s plan to send the crowd to the Supreme Court/Capitol after his speech.

NEW: “Their plan is to literally kill people. Please please take this tip seriously and investigate further.” — tip about the Proud Boys received by the FBI and relayed to Secret Service in the days before the Jan. 6 attack.

Head of Trump's detail passed info about those crowds onto Tony Ornato, White House operative. Outside groups were armed and the SS knew it. Committee has the texts. Wow. #HATH

— Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) (@HC_Richardson) October 13, 2022

These Secret Service texts & emails are clear -- they KNEW there could be violence at The Capitol. The SS knew about the Proud Boys plan to occupy buildings 10 days in advance. They fucking KNEW. That agency is rotten & corrupt. Disgusting.

First Dream, First Sale

 

In Japan the first dreams of the New Year, hatsu-yume 初夢, traditionally provide markers for the dreamer's upcoming year.

In that spirit, perhaps the first artwork sold in a new year provides inspiration for the months to come. My painting Monk Station is the first sale of 2022. 

 I was honored that Saatchi Art included an artwork of mine in their new Seeds of Optimism collection.

"Manifest a happy and bright new year with a joyous artwork by one of our top artists from around the globe." Curated by Bethany Fincher - Assistant Curator at Saatchi Art 

In my new interview with Art Squat Magazine, I discuss my Saffron Road series:

"Twenty years ago in Thailand, I woke up at dawn and spent the morning quietly and carefully observing the saffron robed monks on their morning pilgrimages. On my return to the U.S. later that week, I began to paint Buddhist monks, privately at first - as a form of meditation. Only later did I grasp the dharmic sense of responsibility inherent in this new body of work. I needed to paint these paintings. And I found that the audience I had developed over the years felt the need to see them also. They have given me their trust that I will create paintings that speak of our times but also provide clues to a future path into the unknown."

My painting Monk Station continues this theme and brings a saffron robed pilgrim into a 21st century urban moment. Inspired by a subway station in Montréal, this painting looks at the place of the spirit in our fast paced lives.

As 2021 Shifts to 2022

Wings of Desire

30"x24"oil on linen 2019

Theresa Brown Collection, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

As 2021 shifts to 2022, I think of years passing like film titles shifting on theater marquees. With that thought, on the day we lost Betty White at 99, I am posting my painting "Wings of Desire". In the spirit of writers Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Salman Rushdie, a bit of magical realism often finds its way into my paintings. In memory of Bruno Ganz and in homage to one of my favorite films by Wim Wenders, my oil on linen painting "Wings of Desire" depicts one of my favorite angels hovering by the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. Deep thanks @theresabrownrn2021 for loving the film and my painting so much that you had to purchase it!

Happy New Year Folks!

The painting is featured in @art_squat magazine's new interview with me in their 3rd Issue
