July 1, 2010:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Midsummer, traditionally a time of relative leisure and gaiety,I started on a new collage in my studio.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Locusts were to be a fun piece in a "bug" series," designed to be shown in a gallery window in mid-July.</div>

July 4, 2010.<br />
<br />
The first phase (above) was finished in a few days. I just needed to paint in a more cheerful background color, and the collage would be done.<br />
<br />
But I didn't like the bug eyes. <br />
<br /></div>
After all, summer 2010 was a dismaying time. In April, soon after the Haitian earthquake and the eruption of the volcano in Iceland, the Gulf of Mexico exploded with a massive oil spill that threatened to inundate even the Atlantic Ocean. We were told in May--pretty accurately, as it turned out--it would take until August to contain the spill, which is still in the process of being cleaned up and investigated. Thousands of people's livelihoods in Louisiana and Mississippi looked to be wiped out.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I didn't like the bugs' eyes, so I started experimenting. I went through a cigar box of human eyes and foreheads I cut from paintings on paper and save from time to time, and tried several of these. No dice. They were almost all too small. So began ferreting through the dry cleaner's crate of human heads (and other body parts) I keep under a table in my smaller studio.<br />

I'd had this particular face at least 2-3 years, one of several I had from a sheet of faces I'd painted from memory roughly based on medieval Bible illuminations. As I gave the creatures human faces, they came to life, especially the larger one on the bottom. Then I gave the king human hands. The entire tenor of the work changed..<br />

The wedding of disparate parts and mismatches had produced a monstrous bride and groom, two composite creatures related directly to the 9th chapter of the Book of Revelation (Douay)--and to the Maius Beatus illuminations I had begun pondering when I was writing my dissertation on the biblical poems of the <i>Gawain</i>-poet, and had revisited off and on ever since. (I had titled one of chapter subheadings in my dissertation<span style="font-style: italic;"> "And the Shapes of the Locusts Were like unto Horses</span>," a discussion of the possible meaning of images hybrids in medieval sacred books.)<br />

Shown above, from the blessed Wikipedia: "Angel of the Abyss and Locusts - from the Silos Beatus, by Beatus of Liebana, 1109. Commentary on the Apocalypse (Commentaria In Apocalypsin) was originally an eighth century work by the Spanish monk and theologian Beatus of LiƩbana. Today, it refers to any of the extant manuscript copies of this work, especially any of the 26 illuminated copies that have survived. It is often referred to simply as the Beatus. The historical significance: contained a map."<br />

So I went into my other studio where I was working on a different collage--<br />
<br />

<br />

But she was pretty friendly. Some acrylic mixed with gesso would change that!<br />
<br />
<br />

and so I did--<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpiaNk6_tX46a9tbcZQWcFcZI8YB_d2Eh1_od3KLpxlCdoiwmn6OhagxSbA4Tb83TiZcOoUzXLE1rrFx7h_Ysk9LJgzxILUbJkYfWvpWfXucRKuV4mWnigfRcz_HH597K4kYYKQpVjPN4/s1600/centrif+fam+fnl.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpiaNk6_tX46a9tbcZQWcFcZI8YB_d2Eh1_od3KLpxlCdoiwmn6OhagxSbA4Tb83TiZcOoUzXLE1rrFx7h_Ysk9LJgzxILUbJkYfWvpWfXucRKuV4mWnigfRcz_HH597K4kYYKQpVjPN4/s400/centrif+fam+fnl.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559852979592272658" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 387px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>Completely.<br />
This collage became "Centrifugal Family." The semicircles under the red paint are all that remain of the lady is the blue hat. That's the beauty of collage.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I was still tweaking the locusts' bodies--especially the legs, bellies, and wings.<br />
<br />

<br />
Pretty soon, I thought I was set--the queen had a new face, and I'd painted the background a soft shade of yellow.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I was finished!</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when I took it out of my studio and set it up so I could look at it for a day, I grew dissatisfied--again.</div>
<br />

<br />
I realized I had to change the face--and enlarge the piece as a whole. It was too smallto hold these hybrids.<br />
What to do?<br />
Well, first, I painted a whole newline-up of male heads. And if I didn't want them to look like Osama bin Locust, I would need a more conscious reference. Classical? Jupiter!<br />
I painted a series of Zeuses and threw in a couple of Dionyses for good measure, then cut them up and masked and re-masked <span style="font-size: 100%;">until</span> I had one</div>

But pretty soon<br />
Zeus Locust began to bother me.<br />
He looked a bit diffident--kind of like Colin Firth before<br />
he conquers his stammer in "The King's Speech."<br />
<br />
OK.

a male head with enormous charcoal eyes.<br />

(took no picture, so you'll have to imagine the skin here to be a fine pale yellow ochre)<br />
and much<span style="font-size: 130%;"></span> <span style="font-size: small;">too big. </span>But the eyes were just right.<br />
<br />
So I chopped the head into 2 or 3 sections, trimming brow and cheeks, and cut chin<br />
almost completely off. Then I reassembled the pieces: The distortion was good. It made the face look</div>
