"Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair." Kahlil Gibran


HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

Play a little
Frivolous play time. Investigation of the color RED!
My daughter, Mem's, awesome red satin heels.
She fell in love with them on the shelves of DSW - had to have them!
Finding something suitable to wear with these proved a challenge.
They are stunning and a color theory lesson in RED

Hope your holidays were full of frivolous red fun!

Recent review on NPR
"Caravaggio, a Life Sacred and Profane" 
by Andrew Graham-Dixon
My next read. What a character!
Check out wikipedia for a really great show of his work.

Diane Andrews Hall  Wonderful seascapes in oil
Painting is really about the physics of light!

David Imlay  Fine artist and illustrator
I am quite drawn to his dog portraits
Especially the Dauchshund in a turban.
By looking at his landscapes as thumbnails you will notice his exquisite sense of design. Great illustrators make you look from across the room!

Sandow Birk  If you went to Art Miami you could not resist gawking at his etching named, "Monument to the Constitution of The United States."
Birk makes statements on social issues. 
He is a story teller in multi media.
I respect him because he can draw and comes up with clever concepts that make you think. 
Check out his "Ninety Nine Names of God."
This is an artist who THINKS! 
YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE THESE WORKS IN PERSON!

Bong Chae Son Intriguing mix of traditional painting and modern materials.
Layers of polycarbonate in front of LED panels.
Images mysteriously morph as you walk around the work.
This artist has taken traditional training to a modern level.
Absolutely engrossing!

Come to the Boca Museum's ARTY PARTY!
Meet me at the museum! Wednesday, Jan. 4th. 5:30 - 8:00 PM. 
Boca Museum School instructors will be on hand to celebrate.


See you soon!
THINK!

SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2016

Lucky me. I arrived in Singapore to find their Biennale in the Singapore Art Museum and other Museums and institutions around town. It has been a great introduction to the Southeast Asian geography and culture. Many visits have pulled me out of an extreme state of jet lag and whetted my appetite to learn more about Southeast Asia. Singapore Biennale AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS - AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS "In charting our way around the world, humankind has relied on instruments of vision as well as navigation. Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia. These regions bear the imprints of one another's diverse cultures, even as boundaries are also constantly reimagined. Fraught and unstable, these borders are characterized by fluid mo...

"The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible." Pierre Bonnard

Astrid - beautiful inside and out! Charcoal on Fabriano Artistico Those of you that attended the Steven Assael Workshops at the Boca Museum School know of his practice to clip his palette next to his painting for a seamless evaluation of color.  Look at this cool product by David Jon Kassan. The parallel palette comes in two sizes. Check this out! David Jon Kassan Beautiful blended skin tone palette. His technique differs from the full palette of Steven Assael. Different results, both exquisite.  Check out his sketchbook live videos. Be prepared to learn from this man. I just realized he is having a week long workshop in Civita Italy - one week painting from a nude model. I am finishing some of my life drawings and will be posting them on facebook and this blog.  Is anyone interested in small classes at my studio? My ideas are open and limited to up to 5 - 6 students. Cost will depend on demand and model fees. Life drawing with ...
