I was fortunate to be able to continue my work with Caleb Dowdell. He is a busy student who recently moved from Modesto Junior College to San Jose State to pursue his artistic training as a Studio Arts major. My goal was to get a more formal portrait of him that would do justice to his effort to bring light to people through his art. He was very gracious and brought several of his paintings to my house so we could experiment with my new studio lights. Somehow he had chosen the perfect color to wear - purple - for the photos without any direction from me. Above: Caleb Dowdell with Luke 4:18, oil on canvas, 36" x 48" Caleb created the painting above, called Enough to bring attention to the abuse of women. Below: Joy I think Caleb looks like a serious artist in these photos and his works show really well. However, Caleb is very nice and always smiling and laughing. He is a joy to work with and very patient. At the time I was photographing him and this painting, I didn't realize the title was Joy (although the painting does convey that emotion). I'm glad we made sure to get a version with him smiling! Above: The Cozy Ducks on Hidden Lake, oil on canvas, 36" x 48"
One of things that I find so interesting about The Cozy Ducks on Hidden Lake is how much the work changed over time. If you want to see an earlier version of it, you can go to my prior blog post about Caleb. I have to say that I couldn't see what Caleb was trying to achieve when I photographed him painting during that earlier outdoor shoot. He talked about his technique and the layering of colors, but I didn't really get it at the time. Now I can see why the earlier version looked the way it did. Caleb had to have a vision of what he wanted to achieve in the end to build up the various layers until he arrived at the wonderful painting above.
