Back in October of last year, I visited the Toledo Art Museum and discovered the artist, Ralph Albert Blakelock, who I instantly fell in love with. He sadly spent many years in a mental institution. Tonight I reviewed his work online.
My friend and I screwed around making paper after visiting the museum. It was really fun and I'm excited to try integrating spices into the paper.
I was not surprised that I'd love this show. It is completely over the top and decadent. I had to revisit a few of my favorite paintings as well. My friend and I stopped by the piers and I snapped a few pics. I played with low res pics and blurring.
Art quilt detail I have worked in many wood shops and this just looks like one of the scrap bins. Detail from oil painting.
Once a year, the de Young Museum hosts an event where they invite florists to bring in flower arrangements to compliment some of the artworks.
Afterward, my friend Airy and I sketched. During my recent trip to the MidWest, I saw a beautiful drawing by Theodore Roszak, one of my favorite sculptors. Tonight I spent some time revisiting his work.
Today, while standing in line for Free Farm, I quickly sketched the tents. Not great. I then headed over to the Mission Gardens and stared at an acrylic cube for a really long time. I struggled trying to get the angles and proportions correct. Another one that is not good. I honestly felt that some of the street art I stumbled upon was more interesting than many things in the art galleries. However, I found this drawing that I fell in love with. Street Art
John Singer Sargent is one of my favorite painters. Rembrandt may be my very favorite painter. I want to research this artist more. This extremely black painting was my favorite of the day. More ArtDetails I LoveToday my mom and I hit the art museum during my MidWest visit. I've been really excited to see the Alphonse Mucha exhibit. No picture were allowed, but I've included ones I found on the internet. I was really excited to see a drawing by Theodore Roszak because I've only ever seen his sculpture. Here is an example of one of my favorite pieces by Theodore Roszak. A good friend's son recently died, so I painted a portrait. I'm unhappy with the way the mouth turned out, but I like his hair. It took me a long time because every time I sat down to paint his picture, I became overwhelmed with emotion. To help me, I turned the picture upside down and painted this way.
