Seeing all of life in a single moment. The great illusion of your life is that it is a video streaming 24/7 from the moment you are born until the moment you die. You wake and sleep, tune in and tune out, as the stream goes on. When you’re young, you can hardly look away. You turn up the volume and agonize after the cliffhanger ending of each episode. When you are older, surprises come less and less often — and occasionally you wish you could just click a button and switch to some other channel. But what happens when you click PAUSE, stop the stream, freeze the frame, and look closely? In this moment you can see the depth of all human emotion and the expanse of every human life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6028219afa7b4d7d1409af61/1613512972461-5J7GK42Y76G7SXJ6O49R/George+in+a+Camp.jpg Why I Paint - I cannot look away from this. A boy, innocent and kind, is given a uniform and a commission, and sent to war. In moments like this one in a camp in Germany in 1945, what he sees changes everything. Certainly his future changes. In fact, his whole outlook on life changes, along with both his future and his past. In this moment, nothing remains untouched. And everything that comes afterward is explained. This is why I paint. A single frame in the stream of someone’s life — captured, deciphered and amplified with charcoal or paint on a canvas — can explain many of the unsolved mysteries of my life. And yours. https://www.georgiarittenhousemckenna.com/paintings daily 0.75 2025-08-12 https://www.georgiarittenhousemckenna.com/paintings/drawing-gallery monthly 0.5 2021-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6028219afa7b4d7d1409af61/1614282092931-DDMS4QXJ35CAATURGE0G/Drawings+%281%29.jpg Paintings -
