Title: "Guardian of the Afterlife"
Style: Egyptian mural art revival, acrylic painting with gold leaf accents
Prompt in ALT
An Egyptian mural art revival acrylic painting depicting a majestic wolf-headed deity adorned in ornate golden pharaoh regalia, standing regally in a temple doorway while grasping a gleaming ankh symbol. The deity's canine features are rendered with sharp, noble lines, wearing an elaborate golden headdress with cobra embellishments and flowing ceremonial robes decorated with intricate hieroglyphic patterns. Ancient hieroglyphic inscriptions cover the sandstone walls of the dimly lit tomb chamber, their carved symbols telling sacred stories in the flickering light. Dramatic shafts of golden sunlight stream through the temple entrance, creating striking chiaroscuro effects as they illuminate countless dust motes dancing through the sacred air, while gold leaf accents catch and reflect the divine light throughout the composition.

The first mural I ever painted (1997) was at the Dudley Museum & Art Gallery. Part of the mural featured a pliosaur; I reworked the pliosaur pose in my 2009 "Leviathan" painting for The Etches Collection.

Samuel (Sam) Lewis Francis (1923-94) :
Untitled, 1964

Acrylic on paper, mounted on masonite

He experimented with the dominant and emerging styles of the late 1940s, particularly Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, eventually developing a personal style of abstraction focused on dripping, cell-like forms, an allover instability, and sensitivity to color and light, as in Opposites (1950). He moved to Paris and attended the Atelier Fernand Léger, where he was exposed to the work of Pierre Bonnard and Henri Matisse, which reinvigorated his interest in light and vibrant color, visible in his 1953 painting Big Red. A visit to Japan in 1957 coincided with an opening up of expanses of white space in much of his work, and his subsequent move to a larger studio in Paris resulted in the production of large-scale paintings and mural commissions. Francis returned to California in 1962. Clement Greenberg's landmark exhibition Post Painterly Abstraction (1964) at the LA County Museum of Art, included works by Francis. In the late 1960s, however, color increasingly vanished from his canvases. Over the next decades, Francis's style in painting and print production evolved from the depiction of bright, centrally placed shapes evocative of Tibetan mandalas (influenced by Jungian psychology) to his late-1970s exploration of more severe grid structures to a 1980s fascination with snakelike forms and colorful drips. His final decades of artistic production paralleled a succession of publishing, nonprofit, and visionary enterprises: in addition to his lithography studio, Francis formed a wind harvesting and alternative energy company; helped organize the Museum of Contemporary Art, LA; formed the Lapis Press, which focused on eclectic scholarship; created a naturopathy-based medical research center; and founded the Sam Francis Art Museum in In the last year of his life, Francis, suffering from cancer and unable to use his right hand because of a fall, painted 150 small works with his left hand. Francis died on November 4, 1994, in Santa Monica, California.

Row houses on #CapitolHill
A mural painted on a garage door shows four houses in a row (“row houses”) typical of Capitol Hill. Some have steepled roofs, others flat roofs but with fancy cornices, gabled dormers, or bay windows. The brick fronts have been painted white except for one left its natural brick-red color. The doors are also different colors and styles, but all have steep steps leading up from the sidewalk to the front stoop. Washington, DC (December 2015)

For #fensterfreitag here's one of several window-based murals you can find in Invergordon, Scotland. There's a mural trail in the town and I managed to find quite a few of the street art pieces during a short visit there in 2024.

We've got a close crop in portrait orientation of a simple rectangular window set into the beige-coloured, rendered wall of a house on a bright, sunny day. The recess for the window is fairly shallow and the sun is high and to the left of us so there's a small, dark shadow within the left and upper sides of the frame. The window has been blocked up but artwork has been applied that makes it look like a painting of an open sash window peering into a room with warm-toned walls and a cooler ceiling, curtains tied back either side of the window, and a middle-aged woman in light-coloured nightdress and bonnet inside, by the window, but looking down at her hands rather than out at us.

I visited the Detroit Institute of Art in 2024 and was able to walk through the Diego Rivera atrium, which contained four walls personally painted by Rivera. The DIA offered him one wall for a mural. Rivera said “No. I like the light in here. I’m painting the whole room.” Truly astonishing result.

It’s exciting to be walking in the footsteps of John Brown at Harpers Ferry, where he captured the federal armory in 1859 in an attempt to eradicate slavery from the United States. We saw this 1939 painting by John Stuart Curry recently at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.
“In the mid-twentieth century, Kansas native Curry reprised the subject of his John Brown mural in the rotunda of the Kansas State Capitol. Before the radical abolitionist's 1859 raid, trial, and execution in Harpers Ferry, Virginia (see Thomas Hovenden's painting on view nearby), Brown was known for his violent response to the extension of slavery into the Kansas Territory. Curry depicted the freedom fighter in a dramatic landscape besieged by a tornado-symbolic of the Bleeding Kansas crisis—with a Black American figure at his side. Brown's crazed expression suggests the messianic fervor and wrath that fueled his armed rebellion.”
