~ Gallery News ~Now in The Artist's StudioNow in the QCFA Artist’s Studio, the completion of Bryan Larsen’s Deliberation, and the step-by-step work on Larsen's Study for The Triumph of Icarus: "Every once in a while, an idea is just big enough that it warrants a little more planning than usual. Such is the case with a composition involving Icarus that I have had on the back burner for some years now. Eventually, the painting will be a multiple-figure composition depicting Icarus landing triumphantly in Sicily to the amazement and relief of the onlookers. Obviously I am taking a bit of artistic license with the original Greek story which goes something like this: "Daedalus, a famed inventor, problem solver and mere mortal is imprisoned with his young son on the island of Crete. In order to escape, Daedalus spends years engineering and building a set of wings for himself and his son, Icarus which they will use to fly to Sicily. Limited by the available materials, Daedalus fashions the wings using wax to attach the feathers to their framework. By the time the wings are ready, Icarus is an adolescent. As they prepare for their flight to freedom, Daedalus warns Icarus of the design limitations of their flight apparatus: Fly too close to the water, and the feathers will get wet and become too heavy to fly. Fly to close to the sun and the wax will melt resulting in a fatal fall to the ocean below. In the original story, Icarus is overcome with the ecstasy of flight and, forgetting his father’s warning, flies too close to the sun and falls to his death. In my version, Icarus respects the physical limitations of his father’s wings and successfully makes the trip to Sicily." Read and see more in the Artist's Studio.

You know you want to…. Another Gallery Accolade"I am nearly a full-fledged physicist and had long ago discarded the art world as drivel. Upon seeing Self-Made Man advertised in the Objective Standard, I had no choice but to abandon that position. Being a rather curious fellow, I investigated the gallery website, and I haven't made a better decision in recent times. Thank you for the undeniable value of the work displayed here, made especially poignant by the ongoing foolishness among bureaucrats. That I lack ownership of any of these fine pieces will soon be rectified." -- Patrick Beam To read more great responses from QCFA fans, please visit our Accolades page here. We would appreciate being able to post your kudos and comments too! (every little bit helps) "Numberless are the world's wonders, but none more wonderful than man." -- from Antigone, by Sophocles.
