4 SHOOSTY FINE ART - COPYRIGHT SHOOSTER PUBLISHING 2018 VECTOR PAINTING 2019HAND PAINTED 1987 COMPARISON OF HAND PAINTING WITH VECTOR PAINTING CONCEPTUAL CITY WAS CONCEIVED IN 1987 BUT IT WASN’T UNTIL TACHNOLOGY CHANGED THAT I WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL IS WAS SEEKING FOR THE PRECISION OF THE WORK.
2019 Artist Statement
2019 was the last year of my working career. I was very stressed but making art as much as I could. I was also writing my father’s biography every morning for about two hours. I was compelled like nothing else to get it done. If I could just do it again, I would have been so much more careful with the time we had together.
The artistic highlight of the year was the continued learning of the iPad pro using the Apple Pencil. I tried a bunch of apps but I settled on Affinity Designer, a vector-based app with some great features. My work took on new levels of professionalism. At first, the technology slows you down but once it’s mastered things speed up making the transition well worth it. Conceptual City is an example of an old painting redone as a vector.
For many years I have been making art that requires perfect shapes. I did my best to hand-paint them but I always felt like the result was less than what I was aiming for. When I discovered vector art that changed. I could now do everything with far more precision. I believe the vector version of my old paintings represents the current state of the art in visual art.
I did some significant traveling including a trip to Vancouver for a week to study NW Indian art at Emily Carr University. Emily was a painter that created iconic art based on the region.
Of note in 2019 are the six paintings I did of the Cade Museum, Railroad Depot Park, Gainesville, Florida. I admire the design of this building. It is a science-based museum located in a city park with lots of green areas, biking paths, a few places to eat, and plenty of dog walkers. Sitting on the lawn I couldn’t help but start drawing it.

BOULDER LIBRARY PARK EARLY RENDITION
BOULDER LIBRARY PARK
BOULDER, COLORADO ON A COLD DAY WITH A BRIGHT SUN I FOUND RESPITE NEAR WHERE THE RIVER FLOWS PAST THE PUBLIC LIBRARY. A FEW DAYS PRIOR I VISITED ART PARTS, A RECYCLING ART ISTS CENTER, AND PICKED UP THE PAPER AND PEN CILS I USED TO MAKE THIS PAINTING. ON THE DAY OF THE DRAWING, I ALSO STOPPED BY TWO HANDS, THE PAPER STORE ON THE WEST END OF PEARL STREET, AND FOUND SOME METALLIC PENCILS AND A SMALL METALLIC TUB OF WATERCOLORS. THAT TUB MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE FINAL PIECE.
IN THE EVENING I VISITED SOME DEAR FRIENDS, SEAN AND MELISSA MCGHIE. THEY WERE WORKING ON SCHOOL HOMEWORK AND GETTING READY FOR DINNER. IN APPRECIATION, I LEFT THE FINISHED PAINTING WITH THEM. IT IS A SMALL JEWEL.

MAY 19, 2019, THE TEMPLE OF TIME BURNED IN CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA.
EARLIER THAT YEAR, DAVID BEST, ARTIST AND THE COMMU NITY CAME TOGETHER TO CREATE THE TEMPLE OF TIME. THE IDEA WAS TO HONOR THE LOSSES AND CELEBRATE THE LIVES OF THOSE LOST AT MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLAS

THE TEMPLE WAS SELECTED AS PART OF A PROJECT CALLED “INSPIRING COMMUNITY HEALING AFTER GUN VIOLENCE: THE POWER OF ART.”
BEFORE BUILDING BEGAN, DAVID SAID TO THE LOCAL COM MUNITY THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THAT NO ART PROJECT COULD REALLY HEAL THE PAIN, ONLY TIME COULD DO THAT. AND THIS IS HOW THE TEMPLE OF TIME CAME TO BE NAMED.
