Have I got a treat for you!! I’ve been a huge fan of Casey Klahn’s work for some time now so I’m thrilled to have Casey here to guest blog about his new still life\u00a0series. I’ve been watching him post fabulous painting after fabulous painting of these still life images on various Facebook art groups and I became curious – What was his\u00a0inspiration?\u00a0What’s\u00a0driving him to create so many? What motivates him to keep going?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Born in 1958, Casey Klahn is an American artist whose “abstracted style and use of color embrace the expression of his personal idea.” He is a well loved art instructor and he also writes a blog:\u00a0TheColorist.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Casey, take it away!!<\/p>\n

\u00a0~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Hi, Gail! Thanks for asking me to guest blog at How to Pastel and to talk about my floral\u00a0series. I\u2019m making a series of 100 still life or floral images, and trying my hardest to make each one different from the last, and to make each one a fully realized artwork.<\/p>\n

Making florals was on my mind for a couple of years, but I never imagined the direction these would take. They have become an important part of my body of work, now. I don\u2019t know much about flowers, and as an example my wife will put flowers on the dining table, and it will be a week before I even know they are there. I\u2019ll say, \u201chow did those get here?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Casey<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

A great deal of my impetus in these paintings is my admiration for the art of Henri Matisse, the French giant of Modern art. I saw 2 major exhibitions in 2014 of his work and am reading everything I can get my hands on about his life and art.\u00a0 Those were: 30 plus paintings and sculptures in St Petersburg, Russia, and The Cut-Outs in New York City. Let me tell you that seeing the art is the secret trick – much more important than reading about or just seeing stuff online!<\/p>\n

I blogged about my trip to see Matisse in Russia last August at\u00a0TheColorist.blogspot.com<\/a>.\u00a0Noteworthy works included the 2 monumental paintings, Jazz<\/em> and Music<\/em>. Also, my personal favorite was Portrait of The Artist\u2019s Wife<\/em>, 1913. I remarked to myself that the few still life works I saw there were not masterworks, but they were works by a master artist. That gave me some wiggle room in my own approach to my paintings. Who cares if each one is a smash hit? The idea is to paint much! You are expressing your ideas and, to me, your feelings. You might be surprised at what comes out. Certainly, these florals I\u2019ve been doing are my surprise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Casey<\/a>

 <\/p>\n

More secrets from Matisse. Matisse pays as much attention to the negative space in a still life as he does to the objects in the painting. Further, he wants the overall construction of the painting to be supported. My article is worth the read because I went all the way to Russia (during wartime!) only to see Matisse, and some very strange things happened. He revealed 3 guiding principles for his paintings to me. They are: passion, color, and (French word) insouciance. He feels intensely, colors boldly, and could not care less what you think about his works!<\/p>\n

So, when I came home from Europe, I had this big floral that I was working on and I was at an impasse. I had started it from a set-up of irises in my studio, 2 months earlier. As I went back to it, informed by new inspiration, I quickly finished what has now become a very important work for me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Casey<\/a>
Casey Klahn, “The Conversation. 2014,” 2014, pastel, 21 x 13 1\/2 in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

For me, each new artwork should say something different. Creativity is about bringing the new thing about. Why retell what another has already covered? How boring is that? So, as a result of this philosophy, I decided to use this series of a hundred paintings to express this somewhat formal idea. New each time; same subject matter. See how the content becomes more ideal, and less particular?<\/p>\n

Plus, there\u2019s the challenge that I enjoy so much.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Casey<\/a>
Casey Klahn, 5 Green Roses. The Ark of Movement, 2014, pastel, oil stick, & graphite, 10 3\/4 x 10 1\/4 in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am thrilled when I see some problems in a piece, because I have a direction for the next one. Attempting to fix the last one! However, I try to set up a different arrangement and make the \u201cfix\u201d about some formal quality of painting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Casey<\/a>
Casey Klahn, “Arrangement With Milk Bottle,” 2014, compressed charcoal, pastel and vine charcoal, 11 x 13 in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

After that first larger work, I continued with the genre and soon had done, I think it was, 20. I thought to myself if I had made 20 that fast that I could eventually finish a hundred. The challenge, of course, gets harder with every 10 or so works because they must differ! Whether I\u2019ve achieved that or not, I don\u2019t completely know for sure, but that is still the idea I\u2019m after.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Casey<\/a>
Casey Klahn, “Fraternity,” 2014, Pastel, oil stick, vine charcoal & graphite, 11 3\/4 x 14 in<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the time of this writing, I believe there are about 70 still life paintings completed.<\/p>\n

I still don\u2019t know much about botany, but at least now I am able to see the flowers put in front of me!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Thanks so much Casey!!<\/p>\n

Aren’t those paintings something?? They invigorate my creative impulse and move my soul. I wish we could have had all 70 here. Check out Casey’s blog\u00a0at TheColorist.blogspot.com<\/a>\u00a0to see the rest of the series – those completed and those still to come. Also, see them at\u00a0the Pastel Society of America Facebook group page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As always, I’d love to hear your feedback!<\/p>\n

Until next time,<\/p>\n

~ Gail<\/p>\n

PS. Casey Klahn has a terrific video<\/a> where he talks about and shows his painting process and where you can see more of his remarkable\u00a0work.<\/p>\n
