Artworks by Leslie Taylor

The heartless AI and other computer programmers and the NWO self-proclaimed elite, all with their lifeless, human controlling and manipulating machines, have rendered the artist, in the World Economic Forum’s guru, Yuval Harari, words “irrelevant” and “obsolete.” We artists must not become disheartened, but instead rise above and in our many ingenious ways beautifully contribute to the creative and spiritual (in particular lacking) progress of humankind, if not our salvation.

I know not where this painting is presently. I mistakenly, but not without good reason, thought the older male in the painting, my ex husband, had passed away leaving his young son without a father. When I found he did not pass away, I sent the painting to his home and have no idea where it ended up. FedEx would not reveal this information to me nor has my, actually living, ex husband informed me of it arriving at his home. Whoever has it, assuming it wasn’t destroyed, I hope you are enjoying it.

A SURPRISING SPONTANEOUS METAL BENDING

While painting Manitou – Native American for the Life Force in all Things I experienced a spontaneous metal bending. Curiously, while working on the painting, Manitou, I was reading Miracles of Mind by Russell Targ, PhD and Jane Katra, PhD. Jane was a person who was able to psychically heal others and Russell was a laser physicist who, along with another physicist, Hal Putoff, who studied and tested at a lab at Stanford University individuals who demonstrated considerable psychic abilities. One of the persons they worked with extensively was Uri Geller. Uri is most famously known for his ability to psychically bend metal, spoons predominantly spoon bending as it is largely referred to. He has other impressive psychic abilities as well.

While painting Manitou I was working on the lower right corner of the painting and when I pulled my brush away from the canvas to get more paint from my palette the aluminum tube connecting the wooden handle to the brush bristles just flopped over. I paint very gently and no pressure from me while painting could have caused this. I was holding the wooden handle, not thinking about metal bending, the metal immediately hardened and where it and it bent looks as if it melted there. There is a slight crease not visible in the photographs.

Evening Star (blurry) by Leslie M. Taylor oil on canvas 24″ X 48″

Years ago when my husband was out of town and I was home alone, something
frightened me considerably prior to going to bed that night. I don’t recall
what. When I entered the basement bedroom for the night I looked at these
two paintings hanging on wall. They clearly conveyed to me “Do not worry,
we are looking out for you.” I then fell into a peaceful sleep. I sure could use
their help now. Of course, we all could.

STREET WISE – The models below were some of the young people that would hang out in downtown Boulder, Colorado in front of the courthouse. Of the photographs I wanted to use I had the models sign model release forms and paid them $50 for the use of the photos for the paintings below. Realist artists cannot just paint anyone they please, they need permission from the subject.

This model and the one in the painting below, Sugar and Spike happened to be the same person. I did not know this until after the works were completed and a friend of the model informed me of this fact.

However, notice that I treated them just the same!

Saint-Saens’ Aquarium by Leslie M. Taylor oil on canvas 36″ X 36″ I used to play the piano then switched to the flute. The piano came naturally to me, I felt like I had played it before. My instructor told me she had never seen anyone pick it up so quickly. When a young woman, my grandmother, Florence Caroline Krengel, played the piano in silent movie theaters contributing to the dramatic effects of the movies. The flute, however, I find much more difficult.

I am a self-taught artist, I just knew how to draw and paint and even the use of the materials came naturally to me. My first paintings were as complex as my latest works. My father and grandfather both had this talent though they chose different career paths.

Technology has replaced the artist, you can no longer tell the difference between a computer program produced oil painting and one created by a human artist. Even the materials and textures are the same. I saw where a major NY gallery was featuring computer produced so-called artworks taking using Norman Rockwell’s brilliant oil paintings and replacing the figures in it with transgendered, transvestites and people of varying ethnicities. In their ignorance and insensitivity they believed they were improving on Rockwell’s post WW2, historically significant masterpieces as they “woke” humanity with their ‘in your face’ garbage.

Here is one of Norman Rockwell’s paintings:
