This above picture is of a painting done by Cameroni Castletono during his superior collegiate athletics era. It represents the Native American bravery coupled with the heart and dreams of modern excercise. This painting also represents his nostalgia of when athletic prowess was a metaphor for the nobility of man. The lower picture is of when Castletono went through his blue period. During this period he had everything going for him. The sky was the limit, and I mean that literally, he was limited to things that were blue like the sky.
As many artists have attempted the exploration of the self-portrait, Castletono provided his image of himself. He painted himself the way he was viewed by the public. His paintings and name were the only thing known by his many adoring fans. So he painted himself this way. This reflects upon the reality that we really view ourselves in a mirror of society rather than a true looking glass; We are shaped by so many external factors.

Heather is still wondering about the pic of Alissa's hair...
Cam! This is Jen Swenson. Brian told me that some of his friends had blogs so after looking at some of them, I randomly came across yours. This post made me laugh so hard! I'm glad to see you are doing well out in New York. Alissa is beautiful and it is fun to see you two so happy together! Congratulations!
Three cheers for Castletono! What a budding artist you are...hilarious too!
