TRIATHLETE oil painting by Dee Lessard

Triathlete 11x14 by Dee Lessard

I have a cousin, who completed her second Ironman triathlon. To honor her accomplishments her family wanted me to paint something to depict this. This is what I came up with. I have participated in a sprint triathlon and know how challenging that one is. I can't even imagine doing a full Ironman! (Ironman is a 2.5 mile swim followed by a 112 mile which is followed up by a 26 mile marathon run) Can you imagine?!

COPYING OTHER ARTISTS

I cannot tell you how many times I have heard this and seen this on the internet. Being a curator as well as an artist I have come across this too many times! Many upcoming artists seem to think that it is just ok to copy other artists works and concepts. Although artists do not "own" concepts, among the artists community this is definitely not what artists do. Artists work very hard to come up with concepts that other artists are not doing. This is very difficult to do. So to have another artist think it is just ok to run with that artists concept hurts the artist and only makes that artist look bad to collectors and the artists community. It will surely ruin your reputation! Is that what you want? If they would look around and see all the beauty that God has created they should have no problem coming up with their own concepts. Open your eyes! Be your own person / artist. Paint from your heart. Artists are working even harder now in this economy to make a living. As far as I am concerned, copying another artist is "stealing"! Remember this....Do unto others as you would have them do to you!

“My belief is that it is most important for an artist to develop an approach and philosophy about life - if he has developed this philosophy, he does not put paint on canvas, he puts himself on canvas.”
