Most of the Bible was written to be understood literally, describing historical events that actually happened. There are some parts of the Bible, though, that were written in figurative language; they are poetic or didactic in nature, describing an indescribable God using the limited words we have, and using allegory to teach us about ultimate reality in Him...
This week, on Tenet Rewind, we are featuring our interview with Mary Carroll (Chiaramonte.) Carroll talks about narrative, nature, work ethic, her struggles with an autoimmune disorder, histamines, childhood, self-criticism, competitions, voice and vision, influences, mystery, death, favorite authors, and optimism for the future. Currently, her piece “June” graces the cover of "The Best of Acrylic" magazine along with an article highlighting her beautiful paintings. Pick up a copy at your nearby bookstore

Tanya Blong was our very first guest on the Creative Matters podcast and lucky for us she is back 96 episodes later to talk about her artistic journey since March 2021 and how her practice has developed and evolved.
In this episode we start by talking about the Creative Matters podcast, how it has evolved over the last 2 and a half years since I first interviewed Tanya in episode 1 and my goals for the podcast going forward.
Tanya talks about her upcoming solo show State of Leisure at Allpress Studio in Tāmaki Makaurau which opens on November 2nd and runs until December 1st. She shares her ideas around leisure and being idle, the inspiration for her titles, how music she's listening to or what she's reading can influence the narratives that develop in her paintings. She describes her approach to colour and the 'haloing' process in her paintings and how she almost wants to "halo the halo" and we discuss ways Tanya has got through creative block and grown the business side of her art practice.

In this episode, Arnie and Fred discuss the literal and figurative language found in the Bible. Paul mentions having used a figure of speech in the Corinthian letter. This discussion is important because some Bible students think everything the Scriptures say is literal. Others think the entire Bible is figurative and everything symbolizes something else. Neither view is correct. We are reminded that the Bible is verbally inspired and that Jesus treated accounts of certain events as historically accurate and literal. We note some of those events. We note that Jesus and His apostles understood some historical and literal Bible accounts to contain figurative language. We talk about the times Jesus and His apostles used figurative language themselves. We are reminded that in our daily conversations we do the same. There are ways that we can distinguish figurative language from that which is literal and we note them. Take about 30 minutes to listen in on our conversation and have your Bible handy to verify what we are saying.
This week, Wes and Todd talk with Artist, Annie Decamp. Decamp talks about encaustic painting and digital art, growing up in Northern California, dyslexia, lederhosen and clogs, attending UC Berkeley, working at Oracle, working for Francis Ford Coppola Winery, designing jewelry, being self-directed, art and imperfection, becoming a full-time Artist, YARDART, process and narrative, boldness, empathy and honesty, being true to your voice, mentor/mentee relationships, art during the pandemic, marketing, pricing, shoes, and finishes up with her advice to anyone that wants to be full-time artist.

Pablo de Gortari is a flamboyant and gregarious figurative contemporary portrait painter from Mexico City.
By mixing skills from illustration, animation and painting, his work combines the spontaneity of sketches with the delicacy of painting.
Art for Pablo has always been a way to escape reality and his images and palettes are strongly influenced by fantasy and mythical elements.
The characterisation of each portrait is Pablo's main focus; showcasing emotions and state of mind as each figurative work exists almost within their own unique narrative. Inspired by Spanish portraiture from the 1600s Pablo brings his unique surrealist contemporary interpretation.
In our conversation, Pablo reflects how life now, being based in a studio in Stockholm, has impacted his work, technique and aesthetic.
Follow Pablo on Instagram and view his works in progress and studio images on his website.
View Pablo de Gortari's artist page over on the Nordic Art Agency website where you can view the works discussed, Leonor, Pernilla with the blue hair and Paolo, the young boy with his sea pony.
.
On our next episode, we shall be in conversation with abstract artist Chelsea Davine. Chelsea has been working from her Barcelona studio for 20 years creating paintings with her own decorative style and unique use of material.
