Behold Fiammetta, shown in Vision here.
"Gloom-girt 'mid Spring-flushed apple-growth she stands;
And as she sways the branches with her hands,
Along her arm the sundered bloom falls sheer,
In separate petals shed, each like a tear;
While from the quivering bough the bird expands
His wings. And lo! thy spirit understands
Life shaken and shower'd and flown, and Death drawn near.

All stirs with change. Her garments beat the air:
The angel circling round her aureole
Shimmers in flight against the tree's grey bole:
While she, with reassuring eyes most fair,
A presage and a promise stands; as 'twere
On Death's dark storm the rainbow of the Soul. "

From an original 19th century (1878) painting by Dante Rossetti. All Rights Reserved © 2016 padre art . . .

In the midst of a Gothic arch of triumph, you see the portrait of the Father of his country, the Immortal Washington. The three graces offer him the tribute due to his merits; allegorical figures representing the fine arts, the sciences, commerce and the industry of the country, surround the portrait, and four angels, the symbols of the four elements hold the frame, and the Cable unites the two continents by electricity.
From the center of the portrait, from the heart of Washington, as from the sun of the planetary system, silvery rays traverse the whole tableau. Beneath the portrait, in five niches interwoven between fine arabesques, you see in small landscapes an allegorical representation of the history of the United States: 1, a wigwam of the Autochthon Indians of New York: 2, the landing of the Pilgrims (1620): 3, A masterly portrait of Columbus: 4, America in its present power and glory (New York 1876): 5 the capitol at Washington.
At the side columns of the arch, surrounding the portrait of Washington, are suspended in round frames, the portraits of the greatest men of the past of the Union, the prominent founders of the nation: Lafeyette, Franklin, Fulton, Henry Clay and others.
At the top of the vault of the arch are three heralds, supported by the escutcheons of the Union and Constitution, proclaim Liberty and Union. Between the columns of the arch and outer framework of the picture are numerous allegoric figures and vignettes, representing Religion and Charity, Justice and Power (Army and Navy) and the two monuments of Washington at Baltimore and Bunker Hill.
The surrounding frame is of Gothic scrollwork, in which the escutcheons of the thirty-eight states of the Union are artfully interwoven, and on which are engraved the most important historical and statistical facts of each respective State.
In the four corners of the picture you see the portraits of the four pillars for the preservation of the Union: Lincoln, Farragut, Seward and Chase. And in the midst of the scrollwork, on the foot of the picture, on an escutcheon the handshaking of the North and South, with the inscription, Union For Ever. The star-spangled banner and the American eagle crown the image.

Reo Mountaineer Returns To New York 1905 ties 3rd

"Reo Mountaineer Returns To New York 1905" . . . Ransom E. Olds left the automobile manufacturing company he had started, Olds Motor Works, in 1904. His new endeavor, the Reo Motor Car Company debuted its first vehicle at the New York Automobile Show in January,1905. The REO Mountaineer had a two-cylinder, 16hp engine, right-hand drive and removable front seats (for sleeping). The standard 3-inch windlass (with detachable crank) and special axle-mounts, to keep the auto from sinking too deep when driving into sand and the inevitable mud, made this vehicle almost unstoppable.

Percy Megargel and David Fassett declared that, in the Mountaineer, they could accomplish the first round trip journey from New York to San Francisco and back to New York in an automobile. Their prospects were bright for Percy had made a successful coast-to-coast trip and David was a skilled mechanic for REO. They estimated 112 days to achieve this feat, which actually took ten months to finish. From an original 1905 photo by Detroit Publishing Company. All Rights Reserved © 2012 padre art . . .

"Bebe Daniels 1925" . . . Bebe was on the stage regularly by the time she was four, when she made her silent-film debut. Her first starring role in a movie was at age seven. BeBe was an accomplished actress, dancer and singer. She was a well known producer also.

Slingin Sammy Baugh 1937 Litho ties 2nd Place

"Slingin' Sammy Baugh 1937 Litho" . . . "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh played college football for the Horned Frogs at Texas Christian University. His record was outstanding (two-time All-American & nominated for the Heisman Trophy in 1936) and he was offered a contract by the Washington Redskins in 1937 where he played until 1952.

Sam won six NFL passing titles (a record itself) and set thirteen NFL records as quarterback, punter, and defensive back. In 1963 he was inducted into the Pro-Football Hall of Fame. Two of Sam’s records still stand today . . . although the great Steve Young did manage to tie the Most Seasons Leading the League in Passing with six, as well.

Slingin' Sammy's playing set records and even his losing could be one for the books . . . in a 1940 championship game the Chicago Bears beat the Redskins 73-0. The most lop-sided victory in NFL history.

A reporter once said of Sammy Baugh, "He brought not just victories but thrills and ignited Washington with a passion even the worst Redskins periods can barely diminish."

Hollywood beckoned in 1941 and Sammy starred as Tom King in the 12-week serial, King of the Texas Rangers. His co-star was Duncan Renaldo who later became the Cisco Kid in the television series.

Sammy Baugh returned to the east coast to become the first coach of the New York Titans for the American Football League during 1960-61.

He retired to his cattle ranch and once said that he enjoyed ranching so much that if he had his life to live again he would not even play sports. From an original 1920 glass negative photo by Harris & Ewing. All Rights Reserved © 2012 padre art . . .

With streakings of the morning light.

Slingin Sammy Baugh 1937

October 3rd, 2012

The great Slingin Sammy Baugh 1937 has joined our 'America 1940' gallery of vintage photos from the US around the time of WWII . . .


"Slingin' Sammy Baugh 1937" . . . "Slingin' Sammy" Baugh played college football for the Horned Frogs at Texas Christian University. His record was outstanding (two-time All-American & nominated for the Heisman Trophy in 1936) and he was offered a contract by the Washington Redskins in 1937 where he played until 1952.

Sam won six NFL passing titles (a record itself) and set thirteen NFL records as quarterback, punter, and defensive back. In 1963 he was inducted into the Pro-Football Hall of Fame. Two of Sam’s records still stand today . . . although the great Steve Young did manage to tie the Most Seasons Leading the League in Passing with six as well.

Slingin' Sammy's playing set records and even his losing could be one for the books . . . in a 1940 championship game the Chicago Bears beat the Redskins 73-0. The most lop-sided victory in NFL history.

A reporter once said of Sammy Baugh, "He brought not just victories but thrills and ignited Washington with a passion even the worst Redskins periods can barely diminish."

Hollywood beckoned in 1941 and Sammy starred as Tom King in the 12-week serial, King of the Texas Rangers. His co-star was Duncan Renaldo who later became the Cisco Kid in the television series.

Sammy Baugh returned to the east coast to become the first coach of the New York Titans for the American Football League during 1960-61.

He retired to his cattle ranch and once said that he enjoyed ranching so much that if he had his life to live again he would not even play sports. From an original 1920 glass negative photo by Harris & Ewing. All Rights Reserved © 2012 padre art . . .

Hatchling Dragon

August 9th, 2012

Hatchling Dragon is the newest gallery at Padre Art Productions. There you will find several views of the hand-carved, jeweled smoking pipe of the same name . . . The Hatchling Dragon is a commissioned project. The collector was viewing my progress on the fourth in a series of jeweled pipes and I mentioned my contribution to a discussion of inspiration among members of the FB group, United Colors of Artists . . . that the figure can be inherent in the material to be carved. This intrigued him and he commissioned another carving, in this series, with that type of design . . . Bowl and stem are hand-carved from a single piece of Maple burl. Translucent carnelian eyes surrounded by oxidized silver eyelashes add life to the hatchlings expression.
The subtle coloring of the finish was achieved by layering colors in a method adapted from a metalworking technique called Mokume. In this case the coloring tints used had no carrier agent and could be mixed with water or denatured alcohol to create a dye that soaked into the wood. Different hues were layered over each other and then the wood was selectively removed or burnished to achieve different colors and shades. There is no surface coloring (paint) anywhere on the carving . . .


Hatchling Dragon . . . The newly hatched Dragon wraps her tail around the neck of the gourd-shaped egg shell to allow her wing membranes to dry. The technical term for this brief stage of Dragon development is ‘Dragonette’. She will flap her wings until confident enough to release the grip of her tail and become airborne. Flitting about, she toasts the fibrous shell with her fiery breath to make it edible. All Rights Reserved © 2012 padre art . . .

Eleven Jewels Wins

July 21st, 2012

Our photo, Eleven Jewels, has just taken Third place in the FAA contest, 'The Work I Love the Most' . . .


"Eleven Jewels" . . . The early Elgin pocket watches needed a key to wind the mechanism. In the 1880's the company eliminated the key with their new stem winding timepieces. These 11-jewel watches were produced in 1881 and a total of 5,000 were made. This one has the rare stag engraving on the back of the hunters case with a framed monogram on the face cover. The watch was originally presented to my great-grandfather by his parents. All Rights Reserved © 2012 padre art . . .

Appearing in such diverse genre as westerns, "Duel in the Sun" (1946), and thrillers, "Night of the Hunter" (1955), prepared Ms. Gish for an active career on the small screen from the early 1950's until her memorable performance in "The Whales of August" (1987), the final film appearance for both herself and co-star Bette Davis.

A Flock of War Birds

May 14th, 2012

A Flock of War Birds have landed at 'Padre Art Productions' . . . We have several images of the B-24 'Liberator' being assembled. Designed by Isaac M. Laddon, B-24 Liberator holds the record for the most produced U.S. military aircraft. There are few surviving examples of the high-wing, cantilever monoplane with twin tail fins and rudders. The all-metal aircraft was flown by a crew of ten men.

The Liberator's long, slender and extremely aerodynamic wings increased its cargo capacity, speed and fuel economy which gave it greater range. It was widely used in the Pacific Theater, where the extended range made it the heavy bomber of choice.

Consolidated originally built B-24's at San Diego and Fort Worth, but Douglas Aircraft, Ford, and North American also built the versatile heavy bomber later in the war . . .

Loving the COLOR BLUE Features

Blue is a color . . . light having a wavelength in the neighborhood of 450 to 490 nm. It is a primary color. That is about all people can agree on . . .

BeBe starred as Dorothy in the 1910 silent film, Wonderful Wizard of Oz and played opposite Rudolph Valentino in Monsieur Beaucaire. She also appeared as Ruth Wonderly in the extremely controversial 1931, pre-code version, of The Maltese Falcon, which opened to rave reviews but was later banned.

REO Mountaineer Joins Padre Art Productions

March 10th, 2012

REO Mountaineer Joins Padre Art Productions. We have four vintage images of the first round-trip, trans-continental automobile race.

Ransom E. Olds left the automobile manufacturing company he had started, Olds Motor Works, in 1904. His new endeavor, the Reo Motor Car Company debuted its first vehicle at the New York Automobile Show in January,1905. The REO Mountaineer had a two-cylinder, 16hp engine, right-hand drive and removable front seats (for sleeping). The standard 3-inch windlass (with detachable crank) and special axle-mounts, to keep the auto from sinking too deep when driving into sand and the inevitable mud, made this vehicle almost unstoppable.

Percy Megargel and David Fassett declared that, in the Mountaineer, they could accomplish the first round trip journey from New York to San Francisco and back to New York in an automobile. Their prospects were bright for Percy had made a successful coast-to-coast trip and David was a skilled mechanic for REO. They estimated 112 days to achieve this feat, which actually took ten months to finish . . .

Courting in an Irish Jaunting Car

In Ireland, over 100 years ago, courting couples got to know each other during rides in what was called a jaunting car . . . The Irish jaunting car was used to let courting couples get acquainted without getting too familiar. The horse drawn carriage had a seat over each of the two wheels, so the passengers sat back to back, and the driver acted as chaperone . . .

Photochome (photochrom) prints are black & white photos that were colorized through a photolithographic process. This method (also called the 'Aäc process') used from six to fifteen lithographic limestone plates to produce each print. Created in the 1880's in Switzerland, the process was licensed to the Detroit Photographic Co. who produced as many as 7 million of the prints per year.

Art Is...

November 28th, 2011

Art Is . . .

The question, ‘can the use of Public Domain as a resource lead to the creation of art’, came up in the FAA forum. It led to questions about copyright, public domain and the definition of Art, none of which were addressed. While researching them I gathered a dozen acclaimed geniuses to define art for us.

Copyright . . . The copyright law is a double-edged sword. It is designed to give the copyright holder a monopoly on usage and profits from the creation. The other edge cuts the monopoly away, after a considerable number of years, leaving only the right of attribution, which always remains to the holder of the original copyright.

Public Domain . . . Images, music, films, books, etc., no longer covered by copyright are in the Public Domain. This generally means there are ‘no known restrictions on publication’.

You can use the resources as-is or make alterations to your hearts content, on one condition. You must give the prescribed attribution for the original holder of the copyright or you are guilty of Plagiarism.

Whatever you produce, after making any changes, is under your copyright with all the protection that implies. This leads to the creation of works using public domain resources that have been called ‘Fine Art’ by authorities in the world of art. This has been true throughout history.

Artists of one era have always produced works based on the famous art from earlier periods. They gave the attribution by adding . . . ‘After Da Vinci’ or ‘From Rembrandt’ . . . using the original artists name.

By 1999 there were more than 420 feature films made of the public domain works by William Shakespeare. Some have won awards as works of art in their own right.

In music it’s common to find many versions of one song, all by different artists (I’ve got an old vinyl record with 16 different covers of the song “Louie, Louie”), even when the music is still protected by copyright. Many of the cover versions go on to greater popular success than the original.

“All art constantly aspires towards the condition of music.” ~ ~ ~ Walter Pater

Andy Warhol did a painted copy of a well known brand name product and its label. It is acclaimed as fine art. I often wonder if Andy didn’t have a meeting with the company executives. A suggestion that their brand could be immortalized as “Art” if the company would;

a. Ignore the whole copyright thing about the label
b. Finance a campaign to promote the work as ‘Art’
c. Generally makes sure it remains in the public eye long enough to give it credibility

If that sounds like a stretch, ponder this definition of art from Andy Warhol . . .

“Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”

Or maybe these quotes will put a finer edge on the issue;

“What is art? Prostitution.” ~ ~ ~ Charles Baudelaire

“Art for art's sake is a philosophy of the well-fed.” ~ ~ ~ Frank Lloyd Wright

“Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.” ~ ~ ~ Pablo Picasso

So that’s it . . . QED . . . Works produced with public domain resources are, by time honored tradition, truly art and can aspire to be great art.

Is Photography an Art Form

The question of whether or not photography is an art is still discussed by some people.

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art.” ~ ~ ~ Ansel Adams

“Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.” ~ ~ ~ Leo Tolstoy

Art Is . . .

I have a lot of qualifications and experience as an artist but defining art is beyond any one person. I'll let the acknowledged giants in their respective fields give us their take on what art is . . . or isn’t. We can stand on the shoulders of these accomplished artists and thinkers to attain at least a glimmer of what Art Is . . .

"Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed." ~ ~ ~ Khalil Gibran

"Art, at its most significant, is a Distant Early Warning System that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it."
~ ~ ~ Marshall McLuhan

"A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession." ~ ~ ~ Albert Camus

"Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame." ~ ~ ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton

"Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth." ~ ~ ~ Pablo Picasso

"All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul." ~ ~ ~ John Ruskin

"True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist." ~ ~ ~ Albert Einstein

"A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened." ~ ~ ~ Albert Camus

"Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game." ~ ~ ~ Octavio Paz

"Don’t talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance." ~ ~ ~ George Steinbrenner

"Ads are the cave art of the twentieth century." ~ ~ ~ Marshall McLuhan

"Art is the elimination of the unnecessary." ~ ~ ~ Pablo Picasso

"What is art but a way of seeing?" ~ ~ ~ Saul Bellow

"What is art? Nature concentrated." ~ ~ ~ Honore de Balzac

"What is Art? It is the response of man's creative soul to the call of the Real." ~ ~ ~ Rabindranath Tagore

"Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor."
~ ~ ~ Andre Gide

"Art is never finished, only abandoned." ~ ~ ~ Leonardo da Vinci

"Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs." ~ ~ ~ Pablo Picasso

"I believe entertainment can aspire to be art, and can become art, but if you set out to make art you're an idiot." ~ ~ ~ Steve Martin

"Art is anything you can get away with." ~ ~ ~ Marshall McLuhan

"Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know." ~ ~ ~ Groucho Marx

Tell Us What Art Is . . .

Which leads us to the comment section. Do you know what Art Is?

Or perhaps you have an answer to this question . . . ‘Is advertising still the greatest art form in the 21st century‘?

Advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century. ~ ~ ~ Marshall McLuhan
