What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough, "Eugene Delacroix"

ART MIAMI! Romi and I went to Art Miami, Scope and Art Asia on Saturday. Amazing show of interesting ideas - some quite entertaining as well as fantastic skill and technical ability. Art Asia always opens my eyes. My experiences traveling left the impression that not only is Asia on the other side of the earth, but on the other side of your eyeballs. Here are some of my favorites. Too many to list - Just a few that left an impression on me. Sybelle Peretti  She etches into glass on which she manipulates pigment and images. The photos do not do her justice. I saw her work in Scope last year - still it stops me in my tracks. Julie Heffernan   I love "Self portrait sitting on world." Look carefully at these classically painted allegories. Rachel Bess  All of her beautifully painted, thought provoking portraits were sold. I was immediately drawn to her painting technique - stunning - and the imagery she chose. Koon Wai-bong  Except...

Renovating our kitchen and waiting for the refrigerator to be repaired for 1 1/2 weeks. Life is kinda upside down - or simpler. Memories of cruising on a sailboat -  collecting water to wash dishes in the small sink! Ah - as well with my work right now. Looking forward to making some paintings and finishing my next monster drawing. Nica coming to sit again tomorrow morn. Painting with my favorite artists in my studio. Very cool link posted by  Sibel Kocabaşı on Facebook Love this - check it out - life drawing students! Vanitas Neysa Grassi  These paintings are all about the process and surface. Beautiful. Tony Scherman  This man has the ability and talent that shine through whatever medium he chooses. It would be interesting to see his paintings of encaustic on canvas with oils.
