This is a painting of my partner, and soon to be mother of our child. Set in the parking lot for Paradox after a big electronic music event in Baltimore last year.

Yeah. I believe I qualified this below - sloppy technique, monotonous urban landscape, your wife being the only bit of colour out of scale & perspective to the rest of the painting. Like I said, you recycle. Or you could just say that this was your intended effect....

Shadow: sometimes it's better that you don't have a camera. And I completely agree though, that's why I did that painting. Must be something about Baltimore sunrises! I don't think I'd like to live there though.
johnny.b.dumb: dude, are you okay? It's one thing to say you don't like the painting and giving valid reasons, but what is this about dirty brushes, perspective, and sloppiness? Do you have the slightest clue what you're talking about? Do you care to elaborate on this conclusions, or are you going to just leave it at empty words? Do you have any experience at all on the subject of 2D art? I'd love to see some of your work to validate your opinion.
Now, you might say, "you can know what you're talking about without being an artist yourself", but that's just something people that don't know what they're talking about say. Without a basis in first hand artistic understanding, your opinion is worth very little.

You know what though? It's not all bad about Baltimore. I've fallen out of love, and she's got some issues, but like any long-term relationship, I still want the best for her.
There was a morning not too long ago that just about took my breath away. My office moved from the Inner Harbor to the South End, basically the industrial/train yards. From my new window, I can look North to the heart of the city, and East to the winding highways. At just about ten minutes after sunrise (I get to work ass early) the sun came up over the bay to the East, and in the cold morning haze over the low rises it was a broken circle of blazing orange, bathing the modern glass-sided skyline in light, while the West facing side of all those building sat washed in the cool blue leftover from the night before. All that contrasting light and color over the trees of Carroll Park while the city stirred quietly below. Honestly one of the most beautiful things I've seen around here in a very long time.
I wish I'd had a smegging camera.

johnny.b.dumb: another thing I love about using the word "partner" is that people like you get so worked up over it. Language is constantly changing, you might want to get used to it.
shadow: you called me out on that one. If you see it in person there are a few hints of trash. There was a lot more trash and random clutter there then I showed, though. I had to weigh the idea, and decided on less clutter. It's definitely Baltimore, though. The baseball stadium is in the distance to the left of the bridge outside of the painting. And you're right, I wouldn't miss that city either, the only things it's good for is weird illegal party warehouses, and electronic music scene. And Starscape. Starscape is Baltimore's greatest achievement.

Please don't do this. Please don't. Or if you must, please label it appropriately so I don't accidentally click on it.
I know it's a beautiful natural blah blah blah, but after sitting next to two pregnant women for the entire length of their pregnancies, and hearing them talk about every excruciating, horrific, oozing, cramping, skin-tearing, bleeding, probing, squeezing, crying, barfing, incontinent, flatulent detail, I can't look at the bump. Honestly makes me vomit in my mouth.
Before you folks tear me apart over what a callous jerk I am, just know that I wish I didn't feel this way. It does, in fact, make me a wee bit sad that I cannot ooh and aah over someone's epic life experience. I am broken, and pregnant women freak me out. It is probably some sort of personal failing.

If this is Baltimore, you need more shit in the parking lot.
Where are the discarded needles? The broken empties? The newspapers, shredded plastic, and other urban tumbleweeds? Where are the enormous grease stains in the asphalt and giant Civic-eating cracks? Where's the homeless guy? Where are the cracked rims, blown tires, and cigarette packs?
The multicolored building in the background is appropriate. I won't miss this city when it's time to move on.

you know fuckall about me, what could you "deny" ?) Same goes for priorities.
Now your wife COULD be your business partner, but I rather suspect that would be a damn fool choice. You can't expect her to be both nurturing, life affirming, a positive role model for your progeny AND an effective businesswoman working with you. How would you separate the business form The Business? Also,( as an example) when & if you sell your part in the venture to someone else, does that mean she fucks them/him/her? What about the children? Assets or liabilities? What if she buys you out? Does that mean she now has to fuck herself?
Those are all important questions to be sure. The ridiculousness of it becomes apparent the more layers one peels away. This is precisely what Orwell refered to in "Politics and the English language" - the idea that English is in a bad way because of meaningless,loose, inaccurate & ambiguous verbiage. "Partner" indeed.
Why would anyone be afraid of using words that actually have a meaning? Is it because it implies commitment?
Do a little thought experiment: Pick most any social situation and substitute the word "wife" or "girlfriend" with the word "partner". Now see which one is less ambiguous, more true to the thing it attempts to convey:
1a) Last night my wife and I went to see a racy movie. Halfway through the show I felt my wife's lips on my engorged member. I decided to take my wife to a hotel and give her the business.
2a) My wife is a well paid chartered accountant. There's no chance of my hiding enough income to support a girlfriend on
3a) I was out with my girlfriend last night. She was really pissed, so I took her to my CBD office & was in the process of repeatedly hiding the salami where angles fear to tread, when in walks my wife. Boy, was I embarrassed.
As per above, there is no ambiguity at all. The relationships between the people described are clear & the situations obvious.
Now lets try the same with "Partner"
1b) Last night my partner and I went to see a racy movie. Halfway through the show I felt my partner's lips on my engorged member. I decided to take my partner to a hotel and give her the business.
2b) My partner is a well paid chartered accountant. There's no chance of my hiding enough income to support a partner on
3b) I was out with my partner last night. She was really pissed, so I took her to my CBD office & was in the process of repeatedly hiding the salami where angles fear to tread, when in walks my partner. Boy, was I embarrassed.
It is obvious to ANYONE not lobotomised at birth that the above "patner" sentences are more than a bit ambiguous. Without qualifying the term "partner" one is unsure about the nature of the transactions or for that matter of the nature of the relationship. Incidentally, gender is no longer implicit ( although I have heard poofs refer to their "partner" as a wife).
Gender no longer being implicit, it serves no rational purpose except that of fagnits who seek a way for their deviant behaviour to be publicly accepted. I have no issue with benders aside from the obvious attempts at debasing the language. They can all line up and feltch each other to the idiot mambo for all I care, but why should English be the casualty of their ball-lessness?
If Culaincourt offers the mud track to a cocksman of his choice, shouldn't he have the balls to say "Michel fucked me up the arse so well, I'm thinking of making him my boyfriend" ?
If Culaincourt ( sorry to be picking on him, I know no other uber benders ) says " That's my boyfriend", the implications are clear. If he uses "Partner", that begs the question of "Partner in what?". Besides, doesn't it sound plain silly to declare:
"This is my partner in pederasty"? Wouldn't it be clearer to say "This man packs my fudge" ?
"Boyfriend" ( in the context of Culaincourt) covers that meaning. "Partner" has to further elucidated.
Do you see what I mean? If you need to use two or more words where one will suffice, you're debasing the language by useless verbiage.

Why 'obviously'??
I have my own company and he is my company secretary. He has his own company and I am his company secretary. We talk about work and are business partners. As well as LOVERS.
Where is the obviously?

Does he care? No. Because it doesn't matter.

Apollo, after all that time you're still the king of knee-jerk idiocy. A wife and a partner are different things. As soon as your other becomes a "partner" they're no longer a man or a woman. Just saying "wife" or "husband" implies commitment. These words mean something. "Partner" can be as temporary and genderless as you like. If you were a ducky you should still have the stones to say " that's my Man" or "this is the man who packs my fudge". If you were hetero you should have the stones to say " That's my wife". When you start in with "She's my partner" The first question is likely to be "Partner in what?". This is because "Partner" connotes no meaning with respect to the gender-sexual-emotional-inheritance-progeny-getting component of your relationship.
"Wife" , "Husband", "Lover" = simple, direct, straightforward, meaningful
"Partner", "significant other" = meaningless, evasive, requires further clarification with regard to nature of "partnership"

Yeah I agree with the partner comment made by Merlina. I'm not married but I have been with mine since I was 18, so I'm not calling him my boyfriend, legally can't call him my husband, gross to say lover, significant other reduces my importance and my man sounds crack whorish. So partner is it, all that fits.

It has nothing to do with making people of the homosexual persuasion feel better or worse, I just think "wife" sounds stupid. It reminds me of religion and black and white movies. Partner makes more sense to me, because that's what she is.

also, what the fuck's a "partner" ? PC drek all around, we're now supposed to refer to our significant others' as partners.....fuck that. You can have a partner for bridge, you can have a partner in business, you can have a partner in crime & eventually a fall partner if you fuck up, but if you're in a heterosexual relationship, you have a wife/girl/woman husband/man/boyfriend. Homos' can have 'multiple sex partners' and heteros can have them, but you don't live, commit to and have babies with someone you classify as a "partner", that sounds like you're her pimp. """

skrapmetal: thanks dude!
rob_berg: thank you, too! Will definitely be good times. Great ones too, I am sure! As for the painting, I know exactly what you mean. I was aiming for that, though. The entire painting has a really soft (out of focus) feel to it, and the lines in Jamie (can't really bring myself to call her "the figure") were intentionally as sharp as possible. I'm sure people will see things that seem weird about this, but I intended for it to be a little bit weird, so that's okay. I spend so much time staring at the canvas to decide exactly what I want to do with it before I even put any paint down, that most things that happen aren't by accident.

Great painting... your fabric in that dress is outstanding - and I totally dig what you did with the background. Your landscape stuff has always really impressed me.
There does seem to be a disconnect with your 'partner' and the rest of the painting. Can't quite explain it... but something about it just seems, I don't know... awkward.
Still - really nice work.

Good. SO you can also ignore this: I find your "painting" technically inadequate. No tits is a comment on the relative endowment of your "partner", lack of perspective and dirty brushes take care of the rest. As regards "partnerhood" I didn't read anything you had to say about it, you're just a zit on infinity's ass as far as I am concerned, but the use of "partner" in relation to the woman who is supposedly having your baby makes you sound like a rug munching diesel dyke with a turkey baster full of donated sperm or a pimp. Not a MAN. there.

Bubba: he's no problem. Just confused as to where he came from. Is he like, the new ubersite troll or something?
Ducky: I am terrible with watercolors, and gave up on acrylics when I was like, 11. I actually think people that know how to use watercolors well are amazing.

I don't really consider criticism from someone that thinks "no tits" is relative to artistic merit to have much ground. If you want tits, though, you could try this, you'll probably consider it "good": http://images.google.com/images?rlz=1C1GGLS_enUS303US304&sourceid=chrome&q=tits&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

also, what the fuck's a "partner" ? PC drek all around, we're now supposed to refer to our significant others' as partners.....fuck that. You can have a partner for bridge, you can have a partner in business, you can have a partner in crime & eventually a fall partner if you fuck up, but if you're in a heterosexual relationship, you have a wife/girl/woman husband/man/boyfriend. Homos' can have 'multiple sex partners' and heteros can have them, but you don't live, commit to and have babies with someone you classify as a "partner", that sounds like you're her pimp.
_________________
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about in reference to art, or life in general.
If you were to look up the definition of the word "partner", you would see that what you are saying is nothing more than your weird perspective, and far from anything technically accurate.
I believe I explained my reasoning behind using the word partner, and either you didn't read it, or you're just bitter for some reason I don't really care about.

Everything in the painting was entirely intentional. I don't mean to sound arrogant, I'm just painfully specific.

As for commissions... I haven't done one in over a year. I find that I don't have any problem selling my work, so commissions aren't really necessary unless someone is insistent!

Actually, that picture does make my face look fairly different than it usually does. Especially my nose. But instead of posting a more accurate representation, I think I'll just leave it at that.

no, your face is more... square than I thought it would be. and your nose is too big! I expected you to have finer feature, I think. it's not a bad thing; it is kind of just jarring to have your mental image of someone changed into something else.

It has nothing to do with making people of the homosexual persuasion feel better or worse, I just think "wife" sounds stupid. It reminds me of religion and black and white movies. Partner makes more sense to me, because that's what she is

you lost another point. what happens ten years down the line when she divorces you for someone who'll talk dirty to her and give her the high hard one under a double-matted framed print of "fever reunion" (the original having been sold so she could pay for her new tits) while you're off in your studio painting pictures of flowers and melancholy collies? will she be your ex-partner? hell no. rather than be a hypocrite, its better to call her a wife now.

hellrazer: I am a lesbian in a man's body, so it kind of makes sense.
Anansie: we like to dress up a bit different than normal for particularly good events. This is from Fall Massive www.swmoore.com/images/other/wearesuperheroes2.jpg (not the best picture in the world). We don't exactly wear yarn in our hair and sport electrical tape every day, but we generally make a point not to clash. I mean hey, we're pretty visual people, it makes sense.
