This is what I looked like starting a new painting. (My plan is to depict the death of Aeschylus.)

If you’re wondering what I’m doing, the answer is that I’m probably painting.

As part of my series of dudes in man caves, I created this painting titled Sleeping Theseus. After providing a little bit of context about Theseus and the Minotaur, along with speaking about Ariadne, I describe my artwork in detail.

Did you know that Lee Krasner once had a teacher who trained under Jean-Léon Gérôme and William-Adolphe Bouguereau?

I would like to argue that my artwork depicting the end of Aeschylus’s life is just as historically accurate as the average “Death of Cleopatra” painting.

Klaire Lockheart, Death of Aeschylus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 60x54”.

#brodalisque #FigurePainting #PKFGrantee #Aeschylus #art
Death of Aeschylus is an oil painting that stars a bald man splayed on the floor, dressed in black and blue while draped in red satin. To his left, there is a dude seated in profile with his left hand in his hair and his left knee bent. A mustachioed brodalisque reclines on a beige sofa in a dark room draped with a gold curtain.

I created Subdued Dudes with Loud Suits as part of my series of brodalisques with generous support from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. In this video, I describe the artwork in detail plus I explain why I paint men posed as odalisques.

Eek! I’m getting ready to debut the paintings I made with the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. I hope to see you at the opening reception on March 28th at No. 7 Center in Vermillion!

I got to see Odalisque in Grisaille by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres at the Met, and it may have had a bad influence on me…

Grande Brodalisque II. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 40x60”.

#brodalisque #PKFGrantee #grandeodalisque #painting #Art
Grande Brodalisque II is an oil painting, which features the backside of a masculine model wearing red and black plaid underwear, a matching hat, and Batman socks. He grasps a glass of whisky in his right hand as he rests upon cushions within a man cave draped in satin.

I would never stop laughing if my painting of Theseus was displayed near a classic depiction of Ariadne.

Klaire Lockheart, Sleeping Theseus. 2025. Oil on Canvas. 32x40”.

#brodalisque #OilPainting #PKFGrantee #theseus #art
Sleeping Theseus is an oil painting, which presents a recumbent man wearing blue jeans, posed with arms overhead, with his eyes closed. He is modestly draped in white fabric as he reclines on a small sofa, with a can of Red Bull near his feet, which are clad in white socks with gray toes.

Why do my paintings take so long to complete? I blame glazing!

Maybe it wouldn’t take me so long to finish a painting if I would use larger brushes?

Thank you so much to everyone who attended the opening for my Subdued Dudes art reception last Friday! I feel like I’ve done nothing but paint for the last year, and it made me incredibly happy to share my work with you!

It doesn’t feel like I’m being defiant, but apparently my belief that women are people and should be included in the art world is a little too radical for some institutions. Oh well. I’m going to keep painting.
