Mark Rothko, No 14 / No. 10 (Yellows and Greens), 1953

Oil on canvas

After ten years of most people in the world seeing this painting as strongly yellow with a whisper of green intermixed, I’m very happy to be able to bring you this very recent look at it. And it sure is pretty.

Light affects Rothko work in an almost supernatural way at times meaning that it’s always possible no one scan is definitive. But, it is satisfying to see these lush, involving greens appear in our yellow and green painting after all these years. I can attest to this being pretty close as it’s just come from the FLV show in Paris after not being seen publicly in a long time.

He's just like me.

controversial opinion but unfortunately you are your actions and what you say. if you are mean to people, it doesn’t matter if you sometimes have secret kind thoughts. fortunately you are your actions and what you say. if you are kind in your actions and your words, it doesn’t matter if you sometimes have mean thoughts. the power is in working against inner negative thoughts and being a better person despite it. you have the ability to cultivate the person you want to be.

"I miss Odysseus; my heart is melting. / The suitors want to push me into marriage, but I spin schemes... By day I wove the web, / and in the night by torchlight, I unwove it."

I made this feverish, unwinding loom for @youremysunshine8 's bday, since she is reading Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.

It's made from an old painting frame with the canvas removed. I painted the wood a darker color and hammered in a couple hundred tacks, which I strung with white yarn.

The weaving itself took a long time, since I've never done that before and wasn't using a real loom, though I did make a make-shift heddle from a ruler. The meander is woven in soumak, which means you wrap the weft around each warp instead of just going over-under; this takes a long time but gives it a really cool dimension.

I carved Penelope's hands from chipboard, and painted them the same color as the loom. I wanted to convey the "muscular, firm hand" from Wilson's translation.

[ID: a sculpture of Penelope from Homer's The Odyssey, unraveling her weaving. It features an incomplete black and white patterned weave, warped around a large wooden picture frame. Wooden detailed cut outs of hands unravel the thread. The top is mostly intact, with the weaving becoming more unraveled towards the bottom. It is being unwoven in disorganised pieces, with patches of both weft (horizontal) and warp (vertical) threads missing. /end ID]
