King James I and the Macbeth Witches

The ever-pragmatic Shakespeare added witches to the Scottish play to please his new patron, King James I of England.

Scene of Three Witches from Shakespeare's Macbeth c. 1840 by
George Cattermole (1800–1868) .

The work depicts the three witches from Macbeth, characters.

The witches are grouped together in the foreground, forming a tight, triangular arrangement. Their figures are hunched and enveloped in heavy cloaks, their gestures mysterious and conspiratorial. One may be shown pointing, another in the act of casting or stirring, while the third leans forward as if whispering some secret.

"When frogs dream, lichens smile. Ecological connections were explored anew. Artists recorded conversations of small creatures. People sat fascinated in flower meadows. Children laughed in the forest with knobbly mosses and chatty ants."

Disover my virtual exhibit of #BiodiversityShrines - about finds in a fictional future: https://www.cronenburg.net/biodiversity/
It was a real exhibit, now saved online.

A hanging collage in green, white and orange tones with natural finds. The most important parts of this abstract collage are wooden sticks (one with a bright orange lichen), a real lichen with embroidery stitches in silk yarn, a small porcellaine frog and a historic illustration of water plants.

The zoom on the abstract collage shows the two wooden sticks and the embroidered real grey lichen on a background of textile scraps and intuitive embroidery. One stick is lemon tree without bark, the stick with bark is cobered with a bright orange lichen. This colour is repeated in the stitches on the real grey lichen.

A round, perfectly smooth sphere hangs in a dull burgundy space. Sitting on top of the sphere is a small, dark, cylindrical house with a tall conical maroon roof. At the top of the roof is a red orange pennant. The house has a large arched window. Silhouetted in it, against a bright yellow interior, is the shape of a figure with two pointy horns. There appear to be two sources of light: a bright one in the top right, and a duller bluish one in the lower left. There's a scattering of dull stars in the top right of the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

"Anticipating Autumn" ... My latest, a fun abstract. Digitally hand painted in #EscapeMotion 's #Rebelle 8 using their newest features and techniques. Inspired by a fabulous class from #KarenBonaker. No Ai.

This time of year, the transition from hot and humid and buggy summer to the cool refreshing blue-skies-colorful-trees of autumn is always a time of quiet excitement and anticipation for me. Though mostly I'm not a summer person, admittedly the visits to the ocean, the flowers and birdies and bees and butterflies in the garden, and the occasional fun thunderstorm (not the destructive ones) are times I treasure. But autumn, those incredibly magical sunny crispy-golden days that we see ... not every year ... are a gift.

In this piece I attempted to show the excitement of the season's changes, from the sadness many feel for the end of summer ... to the brilliance and joy of those too-brief golden days ... to the foreshadowing of the dark days of winter.

I hate it when I talk about AI "art" and how awful it is, and people respond with "Oh, but it will get so much better at it! It will be able to create amazing stuff, not just creepy images!"

I. Don't. Care.

I want stuff made by thinking, feeling, flawed humans. That's the whole point. I don't care how good AI is at "art". I don't care that "writing a good prompt is difficult". I really don't. The problem was never the quality to begin with.

I've never understood people who travel to the country, into a quiet place, and bring their noise -- stereos, dirt bikes and other traveling toys, even their voices, in a constant shout.

They appear to be afraid of silence.

What is it about the ocean that is so fascinating, that draws me there again and again, keeps me looking out at those waves, listening to their sound, feeling the spray on my face, and relaxing into a state of intense calm?

I don't know. But I go there, again and again, to experience it.

Beauty is not just makeup and personal care products, although that's what the term is turning into shorthand for.

Beauty is what surrounds us in nature, from the smallest flower to a canyon so big and deep that it deprives us of speech.

It is a gift -- not to be sold by corporations -- reminding us constantly that life is so much more than what those corporations stand for.

A black cat sits in an unlit room, in front of a giant plate-glass window, looking out. Visible through the window is an eerie scene: a cloudy night, the sky heavy with brown clouds, and a thick black treeline in the distance. Right over the treeline, breaking through the clouds, is a blazing beam of greenish white light. The source of the light is above the clouds, unseen. The light casts a dim illumination over everything. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands on the edge of a craggy cliff, holding a large hose. Pouring from the hose is an arc of rainbow liquid, straight into the mouth of a huge greenish creature. The creature is on the right of the painting, looming up in front of the cliff. It resembles a tyrannosaur, with thick, striated skin that looks almost like tree bark, and a shiny iridescent-green eye. In the background, a hazy red sun sits in a hazy gray sky above a blurry treeline. The sun is casting a reddish light on the person, the cliff, and the creature. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".
