As you may know, I'm an unabashed fan of Patrick McGoohan and of his iconic The Prisoner television series. I remember watching the first episode with my father and my brothers on our black and white television set when I was about 11 years old back on June 1, 1968.
As a baby boomer, I'm still fond of McGoohan's classic line: "I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered!" This GIF is made up of four separate photos which appear at the slowest pace I could establish.
Below, here is a quick clip from one of my Augustine 25 logo videos. I made this using the free tools at Animoto. This GIF is a simple film clip that is repeated endlessly.
Here's a completely a political series based on the still life painting I did over the course of 2016. As much as I was distracted by the presidential election, I'm glad I still set aside time to get better at painting vases.

John,
While you and I agree on very little, I do agree with you that you are really getting painting down! The latest vase series is excellent.
And I say that as a student of Faison/Stoddard/Pierson with whom you were probably not rubbing shoulders daily.
Thank you. I'm proud to be a Sunday painter. I looked up all three names. I only got good information on Stoddard. If I could paint like her I would be extremely happy. Have you read Hawthorne on Painting? I think that book impacted my life as much as Road to Serfdom.
John ,
Faison/Stoddard/Pierson were the Art History department 50s/60s/70's. These three. dubbed 'The Trinity' inspired so many students to major in Art History, that the 'Williams Art Mafia' was the result!
That makes more sense. I read each other their biographies. What an impressive group of men: Navy veterans, scholars, mentors, outstanding teachers. It must have been a wonderful time to be a student at Williams College with these three leading the way.
