Brenda from Artslice mentioned in a comment on my last post that Ellen Lesperance and Jeanine Olson's performance photograph's made her think of Odd Nerdrum's paintings.
A friend of mine sat next to Nerdrum at a dinner. My friend said "It's nice to meet you, Odd." Nerdrum said testily "My name is 'Oh-d'... it's pronounced 'Oh-d!!'"
It reminded me of Gene Wilder in the Mel Brooks movie "Young Frankenstein," angrily telling people "My name is Franken-STEEN, not STEIN!"
There's a painting on here that I've been looking for the name of but havnen't been able to find it anywhere...Would you know by chance? The third one down. If you could help me out it'd be greatly appreciated!
I am an artist, an art teacher, a mother of five children, and a grandmother of four, and I live with my husband and our two cats in the woods of Woolwich, Maine. I teach drawing classes through the Continuing Studies Department at Maine College of Art in Portland, and now privately in my new (!) studio @ 72 Front Street, Bath. My blog 'Martha Miller' shares my art, my process, and my inspirations, and my blog 'Not Bad Thing' showcases my daughter Lisbeth's artwork and process. It is also where I share my experience as a mother of an adult child with special needs. You can see more of my artwork on my website @ www.marthamiller.com

(Ha Ha! I LOVE Young Frankenstein!)
Well, c'mon, of course anyone would pronounce it "odd" - no need to get testy! What a handle.
"Oh-d" is worse I think - that's the name of that dog in the Garfield comic strip!
At any rate, he sure can paint and his stuff is waaay out there, eh?
