Finally Finished! Blue Cerberus, details and the completed work.

4/26/2015: Since I am linking Blue Cerberus to this post from my personal web site, I am going to included some links below that show the evolution of the painting at various stages during its development. Even though the work was completed during March of 2014, most of the paintings progression occurred during July of 2013. With that said, the links that look back on the evolution of this work will begin with a link to the month of July from this blog. To view the past posts, please link on through the dates listed below.

Many thanks, Dawn

Blue Cerberus completed, posted 3/4/2014:
I am finally finished, at least for a while. I am please with the results. I think the physicality of the paint throughout the image is working together: the parts of this busy work are working together as a whole. I would say the same for color. It feels like, as in all my work, that there is more I can do. The more will have to transpire in another work. Sometimes doing more means moving on to other works...Setting sail tonight!

Dawn Hunter is a visual artist, Fulbright scholar and USC Associate Professor who shares her passions and pragmatics on this blog. Her passion project is an original and creative exploration of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, considered by many as the father of modern neuroscience. Dawn immerses Cajal in "neuron narratives," connecting him to seminal influences on his perception of a neuron as a discrete unit. Dawn shares pragmatic content, including her university teaching portfolio and "how to" professional art practice tips.

New Artist's Monograph about Cajal

Welcome, everyone. I am thrilled to unveil part of my in-depth study on the life and work of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, revered as the pioneer of contemporary neuroscience. This illustrative study explores Cajal's narrative, backed by extensive archival explorations at Madrid's Instituto Cajal and on-location visits to key places across Spain where he lived and worked. With a rich blend of illustrations, paintings, personal narratives, and college-student art projects reflecting Cajal's influence, this study caters to those fascinated by the interplay of art and science. It acts as an invaluable tool to further comprehend and appreciate Cajal's enduring impact.
