She voiced Rachel Jordan, Ned Flanders’ love interest after Maude is killed, in The Simpsons episode “Alone Again, Natura-Diddily” on February 13, 2000, and lent her vocals to Mary Chapin Carpenter’s 1992 recordings, “The Hard Way” and “Come On Come On”. She recorded as a duet the title track to Curtis Stigers 1995 album “Time Was”. The first one came out in 2004.Colvin has made vocal contributions to songs by James Taylor, Béla Fleck, Edwin McCain, Shawn Mullins, Elliott Murphy, Bruce Hornsby and collaborated with Sting on the song “One Day She’ll Love Me”. It’s the second large monograph published by the University of Texas Press. The new book, SPEED: ART 2003-2009, came out last fall. I don’t know if I could say it opened up new oportunities for me as an artist, because I don’t do commissions - my work doesn’t turn out right if I try to be the boss.Ĭan you talk a little about your book, and what kind of work you’re doing now? Well, when she won two Grammys ( I think for the album and for “Sunny Came Home”), she thanked me on TV, so that was really cool. What was it like for you - and your work - to be so deeply involved in such a huge hit record? Did it open up new opportunities for you as an artist? It takes a month or two to complete an oil painting. I work very slowly and paint layer over layer. I can’t remember which, and it doesn’t say in my book. What was the process behind the image? What did you use to create it? Most of the elements in my work that people assume are symbolic are really there for the composition.
We have offices near London in the UK, Las Vegas in the USA, Hiroshima in Japan.
REST OF WORLD INC CANADA 4.85, extra copies add 1.05 per item. I put the third eye in where it looked like it was needed. UK Parcel Force 48 hour 9.50, extra copies add 9.50 per item. I mostly just saw it in my mind, made a composition out of what I saw, and then painted it. What inspired you to paint this particular image? Can you talk about the significance of the three eyes? Since then we’ve become good friends, and she has a large collection of my work - though I don’t see her as often anymore, because I moved out to far West Texas. If I remember right, she bought some of my work from Davis Gallery in Austin and they gave her my phone number. We both lived in Austin, but we hadn’t met yet. You say “Shawn visited the studio one night” - how did you come to work on this album? Was she already a fan of your art? “It’s time for a few small repairs,” she said Shawn took the title of that piece, ”A Few Small Repairs,” and wrote it into the ”Sunny Came Home” lyrics: ”A Few Small Repairs” is the title of another painting/collage I did of a woman all stapled, stabbed, and sewn together (also a little part of her was on fire) that was sort of second runner-up for the album cover. The title of the album cover painting is actually ”Setting the World on Fire. She had written that most amazingly beautiful of all songs, ”Sunny Came Home,” to the painting. A couple of weeks later she handed me a CD (or maybe it was a tape?) and told me to take it home and listen. Shawn visited the studio one night and we went through a box of transparencies of all my past work and she chose that one. Which came first, the painting or the album? Were you commissioned for this project, or was it licensed after you’d already finished it? This week, we talk with Julie Speed, the artist responsible for the cover of Shawn Colvin’s A Few Small Repairs. Have you ever wondered what inspired the images on your favorite album covers? With Uncovered, we discuss the stories behind the artwork with the people who made them.
