Art Painting--Polar Bear
Art painting--Polar Bear Artist: Martin Plant ©2012
I had a sheet of dark blue paper and I really wasn't sure what kind of picture I wanted to put on it. Basically I didn't want to lose the dark blue color because I found interesting. So, what picture to use it for? It took me some time to come up with a suitable picture idea.I was watching good old television one night--and there came my picture idea. I saw a white polar bear. Just the thing to put on dark blue paper!
I made a drawing of a polar bear, and in the background I added an iceberg. Then, above the iceberg, I added my signature, the three moons in progress, to give the picture a sort of spiritual look.The effect was just what I wanted. The bear and the dark background made a contrasty combination. The picture also showed the harsh living conditions for polar bears. When I finished the picture I was quite satisfied with it. I hope you like it too.

A Marriage Not Made In Heaven
by
Martin Plant©2011
They say that marriages are made in heaven but in the case of Mazoltuv Borukhova there was no great happiness in her marriage.
Before her marriage, Mazoltuv's life was going well. She went to medical school. She became a doctor. She had a good practice and she was well liked by her patients. She met a dentist by the name of Daniel Malakov. They got along well. They fell in love and they got married. The couple had a girl, and soon after that the marriage went sour.
Mazoltuv Borukhova accused her husband of inappropriately touching the daughter. Two witnesses said it was true but they later retracted their statements.
More arguments followed because of the matter and finally the couple separated. What then occurred was a long courtroom battle where Mazoltuv Borukhova wanted custody of the daughter. The courts agreed, but the husband appealed the decision and Mazoltuv Borukhova was stunned when the courts now gave custody to the husband instead.
Love turned to hate for her husband. But, she handled the matter quite simply. Mazoltuv Borukhova made a phonecall to her cousin Mikhail Mallayev. She explained the situation to him and said she would pay him $20,000. For what? Kill her husband. Mikhail Mallayev agreed.
The shocking murder occurred on a sunny morning at a Forest Hills playground in the section of Queens, New York. The husband, Daniel Malakov had agreed to let the daughter have a visit with the mother. Daniel Malakov entered the playground with his four year old daughter in tow. Suddenly the cousin, Mikhail Mallayev appeared. He pulled out a gun and he shot the father dead right in front of the four year old girl's eyes.
The cousin, and the mother became suspects in the murder. But the cousin and Mazoltuv Borukhova, both denied any involvement in the killing. Someone else had done it, they insisted. They had no part in the murder. The jury thought otherwise. Both were convicted of murder.
The jurors felt that Mazoltuv Borukhova's lack of detachment made her appear guilty. The evidence ,they felt, was also clear cut against her.
Mazoltuv Borukhova, and the cousin, Mikhail Mallayev, were sentenced to life in prison. They are appealing the decision.
A bit of irony for Mazoltuv Borukhova is in the choice of her given name 'Mazoltuv.' In English it means 'good luck.' Apparently she did not have much of that either.
My painting of Mazoltuv Borukhova shows her face at the moment that she had just been sentenced to life in prison. I wanted to show the stunned look on her face and an empty feeling in her eyes. After all, being sent to jail for life is a long, long time.

Art painting---Genesis. The Big Bang
Artist:Martin Plant©2010
Genesis.The Big Bang. my catalog number 4413
Everyone wonders how the universe began. There are lots of theories out there. Not the least is one by Albert Einstein and his theory of the Big Bang. The Bible has another story. In Genesis it simply says that God spoke and he created. How`s that for technique.
Of course I wondered about it too. Being an artist I decided it would make for an interesting picture. I just closed my eyes and thought about the creation of the universe. I too wondered how it all began. I imagined that I was in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere out in space. All was blackness. Soon I saw a giant arm appear, robed in white, and it was holding a golden ball on a string.
As I watched, I heard a voice quietly speak. Then all of a sudden the golden ball trembled. I heard a deep rumbling sound. Things were now flying off and away from the golden ball, flying off in all directions at a furious speed. I imagined these things to be stars, suns, moons, planets. These objects were all of different colors and different sizes. Some were giant in size. Others were puny. All went whizzing off into the darkness. Millions of these objects, going everywhere.
The golden ball trembled all the while as these objects flew off from it. Millions of things spearing off in all directions.
I opened my eyes. Well, maybe that's the way it all happened. I then hauled out my paints and brushes and I went ahead and did it.

art painting--Omar Khadr
art painting--Omar Khadr
This painting is of Omar Khadr. He was recently convicted of killing an American soldier. He admitted to it. He is going to spend perhaps the next eight years in jail for this crime. For a short time there was talk of sentencing him to forty years in jail, but that quickly fell through. At the most, he will spend eight years behind bars.
I wanted to show his face not in the perhaps sweet and almost glorified manner that we have seen it recently in all the media. Instead I wanted to show his face in coldness and hardness. After all, he did kill someone. So, here he is. Omar Khadr.

art painting--Flowers in a Vase
art painting--flowers in a vase
artist:Martin Plant©2010
I like doing still life pictures. Nothing moves. I can take all the time needed to work out the composition. The 'model' doesn't complain that the room is too cold, or is tired and needs a break. Then again, I can stop anytime I need to if I happen to get tired or want to work out some changes in the picture. So, for those reasons, I like doing a still life picture.
This one is called "Flowers in a Vase"

Art Painting--Sydney Opera House. Artist: Martin Plant©2009
my catalog number 4384.
I recently saw a picture of the Sydney Opera House and I wanted to show it in a different version from the one usually seen. I wanted to give the impression of "Music" and "Sound" and to do this I decided to use vibrant colors and high contrast instead of the mauve color of the opera house as we know it.
I began the drawing in the "eye-balling" technique. Artists know what I mean by this. It's a slow, laborious artist's method to draw something when you don't want to use rulers or other mechanical devices. And I don't. After about an hour of this I stopped for a break.When I returned, I made more "eye-balling" corrections until the drawing looked right.(And people think becoming an artist is just "ten easy lessons" Ha!) Then I added a sailboat to show that the Sydney Opera House was set on an island. After that came lots of decisions on which color combinations to use.
So here it is, The Sydney Opera House. Maestro, music please.

art painting--William Shakespeare
art painting--William Shakespeare. Artist: Martin Plant. my catalog no. 4284

William Shakespeare. Playwright. ©Martin Plant
During Shakespeare's lifetime, he was a working playwright. Fortunately for him, his stuff was good and his work caught on early. His plays sold out to packed houses. But after a while, of course, ticket sales would dwindle. The solution was to write another play. This Shakespeare did, hoping his next play too would be popular with the public, and that it would continue to earn him a living. After all, he was a working stiff, like most of us.
What Shakespeare never realized was that his plays were not only popular, but that they would live on long after he was gone. He simply thought that his plays would be performed , run their course, and then be forgotten, as happened to many other playwrights. Instead, his work is being performed these five hundred years now. You can see his plays in the movies, on Broadway, at summer-stock, in colleges, at Shakespeare In The Park, and countless other venues. Not bad for a working stiff playwright.

Art Painting--Passover,Making Matzah
Making Matzah
I was watching a documentary the other day on the making of matzah.
Orthodox Jews make it and they call it Shmurah matzah.The process is done by hand. The
ingredients are flour and water only. It is eaten for eight days during Passover and during this
time, eating bread is forbidden as well as other leavened products. Not an easy time. Matzah is
hard on the stomach and it often causes constipation. Think of it as eating rock-hard pizza and
you will know what it's like to eat matzah.There is often relief when this holiday is finally over
eight long days later.
Tip: to make matzah more digestible, the secret is to chew it and chew it till
it all becomes a soft mush. Then swallow. At the same time, all this chewing helps bring out the
flavor in the matzah. Happy Passover.
