(That's a type of ballet turn.) This is one of my Reef People paintings. It was recently in The 2022 State of the Art/Art of the State exhibition in the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC. She is one of my "Reef People" paintings. Within the past 5 years I have begun to focus in a new direction with my work. My new body of work, which I simply refer to as “Reef People,” while also maritime in nature, is a departure from traditional realism. It reflects my understanding of the world’s coral reefs as a barometer of the health of our total world environment. The bleaching of the reefs is a serious warning sign that we need to get serious about solving our waste, pollution and global warming issues. These works which utilize collaging with paint skins, which are my versions of fantastical corals, and direct painting are about us, as intelligent beings, “becoming one” with the world’s reefs in a sense. Raising our sensitivity to the impact we have on our environment, and ultimately, on one another. Healing problems through intelligent connection.<br /><br /></span></p>Marguerite Chadwick-Junerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17369996430087493819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849321216207135318.post-22774859310769052282022-11-27T13:22:00.002-05:002022-11-27T13:38:44.503-05:00Aromatherapy<p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlA9w4RkUfz_y-HmRGJ9UOALCbGrx6hmWy_8D2Nh8AOuS6qZ_TxtTLblBRWbO9mnsBJyIZnxPPbc4OaIhobgt78TgY0BPcnot5bVdrKSmkIvymVuxAnjjP6Iv41RyV5oRb0S_f7hfpIVcXxrCjU_wdljxSCYE_Stkrm9MB79-OGk4Iit4C44zzVQpn/s6744/Aromatherapy%20sm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6744" data-original-width="4500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlA9w4RkUfz_y-HmRGJ9UOALCbGrx6hmWy_8D2Nh8AOuS6qZ_TxtTLblBRWbO9mnsBJyIZnxPPbc4OaIhobgt78TgY0BPcnot5bVdrKSmkIvymVuxAnjjP6Iv41RyV5oRb0S_f7hfpIVcXxrCjU_wdljxSCYE_Stkrm9MB79-OGk4Iit4C44zzVQpn/s320/Aromatherapy%20sm.jpg" width="214" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">30 x 40"</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Acrylic & Oil </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Another painting inspired by Gustav Klimt.

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Another small watercolor based upon Jason's underwater sculpture. I mount watercolor paper to cradled hardboard and these small surfaces are really perfect to travel on my boat with. Enough weight so that they don't get blown around by the breezes like a loose sheet of paper would, and small enough so that I can bring several with me when we are away cruising for a while. </span></span>Marguerite Chadwick-Junerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17369996430087493819noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849321216207135318.post-66069576286325300592014-07-14T16:08:00.000-04:002014-07-14T16:09:27.292-04:00Taylored Reef 1<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some of you who may have stumbled across me on Facebook will have seen my Seacycles which are reef forms created from recycled material. In researching reef forms I came across the work of Jason Decaires Taylor. Although I understand that body casting is a labor-intensive craft and a skill unto itself, I have never been a huge fan. That's a personal statement, mine only, don't get all crazy on me. I just don't put it in the same realm as a Rodin, a Michelangelo or even Mark Di Suervo, Zhang Huan or Andy Goldsworthy (just for those of you who might think I haven't gotten over the classical masters). That being said, Taylor's work takes body casting to a whole other level and beyond. I'm in love with what he does on many levels. It is art in touch with nature, interacting with it and helping to heal and nurture coral reefs. Google him and be amazed. This is a tiny watercolor inspired by his work.</span></span>Marguerite Chadwick-Junerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17369996430087493819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849321216207135318.post-85701868054980759262014-06-14T10:44:00.005-04:002014-06-14T10:44:59.340-04:00Mod Liquor<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Oddly enough, I did not realize that I had never posted this painting on the blog until my dentist who had come to the exhibition of my dailies asked me if it was still available. In running down the list of images in my blog file, I noticed there was a jump from #97 to #99. Sure enough, somehow I missed it. Dr. K. says this painting stayed in his mind because Jarlsberg is his favorite cheese. I think it also has something to do with the fact that Roy Lichtenstein, in painting this "Self Portrait as Cheese" painted himself in a doctor's jacket.</span><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></b></span></div>

It is a departure from the 6 x 8" format I have been sticking to. My sister bought me a whole box of these tiny 4 x 4" panels for my birthday. I keep wanting to call them "Bippers" after these itty bitty frames that a framing shop in Armonk makes from their scraps.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A little adult spin on a childhood favorite. A shot of Patrón, a lime and some salt bring in the "shot" part. My friend Mary is the only one (or perhaps the only one comfortable enough) to broach the subject of the ambiguity of the salt. It certainly could be something else...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white;">This is a reprise of an image I did much larger, but a bit different, some time ago. Again, it's the reflections that motivate me. But there's also something about small boats, mainly dinghies, that attract me as well. Maybe it's the intimacy of them. I also enjoyed creating the texture and coloring in the old, rusty iron bulkhead.</span></span><br />

If presales are any indication, it's going to be a fruitful show.

English Pop Artist Joe Tilson, however, is not so well known here. I enjoy his work, particularly the ones that speak to the senses. This is one of those that I have integrated into my painting.
