Technical Details for 46605

I want to provide some technical details about the 46605 paint quality. An appraiser or Artist professional might be interested in this sort of writing.

There is a heavy grade canvas which came from a sail maker. It is a hundred percent white cotton like the kind used in sail making. I did not cut the canvas piece; instead I found dimensions that were similar to the canvas size; 46605 is the dimensions in inches. The stretcher bars are plywood strips and Masonite reinforced corners. There is quarter inch round molding nailed to the front of the stretcher bars that separates the flat plywood from the canvas. Genuine Gesso paint was applied as the primer.

Like a photograph, 46605 is painted in layers. The color was the first layer of paint. The colors were from Betty’s paint box: see Gevluef’s Betty’s Paint Box. They were old paints and some were dried out. My color pallet was limited to those paint tubes I could get to work from Betty’s paint box. There is no red in the painting. Since the color was the first layer, it was laid down thin with a lot of Turpentine and no Linseed oil. The first layer dried overnight. Next I applied a Dammar Varnish over the entire surface. The color layer did not bleed into the Dammar Varnish. The viewer might have noticed the Dammar Varnish as the reflective parts of the painting’s surface. This middle layer reflects light in areas where the final layer did not cover. The reason for the Varnish was because I did not want any of the color to bleed into the final layer of just shades of light and dark.

The most interesting part of the final black and white layer was the smell of the black paint. It wasn’t the typical oil paint smell. It smelled like used motor oil. These were antique oil paints. I had already been resourceful in using the dried paint tubes in the color layer. So, I was compelled to use this odd smelling black paint too. The black paint came out of the tube pretty good; dry and slightly flaky. There were flakes of metal when I thinned it with turpentine. The final layer was just with black and white paint. I started with thin paint mixed with wax medium. I used quite a lot of wax medium with both black and white paints. Mixing with wax medium gave the surface a textured matt finish. As I went over some parts with more paint I had to use some linseed oil to fatten the paint as I did not want to cut into paint that was already there. Betty’s paint box did not have any white. I used student grade Chromium White. In 1991, there was neither lead nor titanium, artists were accustomed to Chromium. I think it took three days to paint. In each session I covered the entire canvas with paint.

Fact Checker

In case you want to do some checking, the college issue is one fact you will want to check. I want to check it myself because it is one of complexity. Let me explain. 46605 says “UCSC,” on the back. That is University of California Santa Cruz. Did I graduate? No and Yes.

I went to UCSC the 1990-1991 school year and did all my work in that year, mostly Philosophy and Art. My mental illness didn’t kick in until 1992 when everything fell apart. In 1992 I was given a medical leave of absence.

Fast forward to the years since the millennium, the mental health agency in Santa Cruz embezzled money from me. The money was being transferred to the UC and I was accumulating credits. Then in 2011, I made a small technicality-correction with the mental health agency in Santa Cruz, and I think what happened as a result was that the University graduated me under my current legal name William Lewis in Philosophy, 2011.

That will have to do for now. I should write more about what it was I needed to do for the mental health agency that fixed things well enough to get the degree because it is pertinent to my experience from when I attended. In general though, I was one of the lucky ones because after studying that year and I had the medical leave I really understood the material. I like my college, and I like my knowledge I acquired there. I really learned my subject. Not everyone can say that about their college or their major.

So, please check this fact even though it is not good enough to stand the test of time. William Lewis isn’t involved in the painting. I am working on a better more substantial association to UC Santa Cruz for the painting. It just needs to be about Jeff Devitt. Please be patient.

Comment: August 31, 2022: There was an attempt to re-enter the University in 2002. I got a room in Capitola and enrolled. It wasn’t meant to be because the house got termites and I had to leave. I left my stuff behind. The land lady waited till now to throw away my stuff; twenty years. I imagine that she knows me pretty well.

Comment: May 14, 2024: It is at this point that the person curating my painting should make access at Kresge.

Texas Secret A No-Brainer

The no-brainer is that the Getty family is involved and their money was made in Texas oil. It is difficult to have a thought. My grandma was such a great lady and from Texas. I can’t see what this really means. I just need to repeat the facts and let someone else develop the idea who has a better point of view.

Jim Devitt married Arlene Polsen. They had a daughter. Before a year and five months later, when I was born, dad did his bad. He must have had a complication of being related to Rosie for what my mom had in mind. Up until my dad’s bad, my mother must have had a great deal in mind; the suit and prerogative over Getty oil money. After dad’s bad, all that must have been denied.

All this makes me think is that her children must be great people except the father blew it for them. Mark Doolan is exactly like the four daughters’ children – he says that that was his grandfather’s money. The whole lot seems to have been repressed into the sub-conscience. The painting is the only thing that expresses the what that got repressed.

In this post I have tried to express something of great importance, a status of great wealth that belongs to me, only it is such a no-brainer the feeling of wealth evades me. One thing I am sure about, the painting gives me strength as a redeemer to express something that liberates the Getty folly and my father’s bad as they are expressed through me to the outside world. And it is a work of Art. It is not something like a murder or an offence against something or someone; it is a picture. And, it is my turn. I took my turn. I’m glad too.

I just wish I could feel this. It is tremendous.

The Texas Secret

Some of my readers have seen my painting. It is possible that 46605 is an object of special study. That’s okay. I have written about the painting here in my blog myself. There is a post called 48 Fine Art. It tells about the art supplies used for the 46605 work.

Today is mother’s day, and I bring the most compelling news. My father has a secret from his mother Rosie Devitt. She never knew that he offended gas. She always professed that she didn’t know anything about it. But, she believed she was referring to Arlene’s father who was murdered by Francis Beeks when Arlene (my mom) was a teenager. Rosie was really in denial about dad and what he did before I was born. Rosie has passed away since 1995. This family also lost her as a service in 2001. She was born in Pittsburgh Texas. The painting seems to be a worthy notice for her to discover a fact about my dad. It is my note to Grandma Rosie the news of my dad.

I’m only telling you this because the people of Texas have been talking about a secret for a little while, and it is my responsibility to explain. They are saying that JEFF is much more than they realized. Rosie was a woman with a strong mind. She deserves to be in the Art History formula because of what the painting tells her about my dad. She deserves to be in the L.A. culture because she lived in Los Angeles all her life. Writing about Rosie will get the readers in Los Angeles. Basically, I am telling what the secret is. I hope I don’t spoil things for the Texas reader.

Please recall that I have written about J. Paul Getty Jr. in previous posts. He hired Francis to kill my grandfather on my mother’s side because he was molesting his daughters. Arlene is my mother who has three sisters. Francis has passed away recently. The crime was never correctly recorded. I think that the family officially called my grandfather’s death a suicide. I met Mark Doolan the son of J. Paul Getty Jr. who has said that his family deeply regrets the hit. At the time, J. Paul Getty Jr. was living nearby my mom’s childhood home and contracted Francis when Elwood wouldn’t leave the girls alone.

This is supposed to be about Rosie and I have mentioned people on my mother’s side when in fact Rosie was on my father’s side. You should be able to make a build as to how my father could keep a secret from his mom. He would just bring up Arlene. Rosie would have nothing to do with that; and she is in denial about my dad’s gas problem.

Also keep in mind that I would have a great difficulty if 46605 fell into the Getty holdings. It is bad enough that I painted. I learned about my grandfather Elwood Polsen after that. I am doing just fine with everything how it is. The painting is open to the public in Los Angeles. This post is supposed to help the Art Historian develop material on my painting that is accessible. And, I have been telling about what the painting means to Rosie Devitt in the mind. And so, I want to wish everyone a Happy Mother’s Day!

Comment March 18th, 2018. This is a lot of drama about the car. I just need to note here that the car was dismantled and engine melted down. It felt like I fell into a pit right when I was having tea. So, I’m calling it my Tea Scenario.
