My dear friend Jim is a wonderful painter based in Bridgehampton, NY. I was so blessed to re-connect with him recently on Facebook. Good ole Facebook. I am so looking forward to seeing some of his latest work in the city. Check out this video with some of his paintings and ideas. He LOVES women, and I was lucky enough a number of years ago, to be asked, along with my friend Kim, to pose for him. Sadly, I have never seen the completed work. But, I did see it mid-way through. Not only was it the size of a 1/4 wall, but somehow, she and I managed to lose most of our clothes. But, in all honesty, I didn't mind, because he makes women look so beautiful and you see his admiration in the curves and the softness he gives the forms.
Rock on Jim. xoxox
Below is what the filmaker said about Jim.....and it is so true and so perfect about him. You would never, ever get bored having a conversation with Jim about life.
"I had met Jim while working for Plum TV in the Hamptons (NY). His studio was next door to ours and we would often have long discussions in the parking lot. The topics ranged from, alchemy, occult, art, philosophy, psychology, phenomenon, basically pertaining to the esoteric and ethereal realms.
Then there were conversations about women, guns, and survival. I liked those too. That's the thing about Jim, if ever there was a man, he is Gingerich. " -Marlo L.Brown -
PS- here's the link to Part 2 of this interview, which is brief, but worth watching. He has really, really humble, interesting and true things to say about a man and woman in a relationship. He's working on a graphic novel using his artwork as a catalyst. This is gonna be one damn good, sexy, thoughtful book, and you better believe I'll plug it when it comes out. So proud of him and inspired to do my own work.
