Just to let you know the WAL Art Gallery in Market Street
will be opening it's doors Officially Sept 1 2010.
It's location is across the street from Aaron Bros.

I have 2 pieces entered in the Gallery and will
hopefully continue to enter different pieces there every month.
So come on in and check it out.  It's a nice space and we appreciate
the support of our local artists here in the Woodlands!

I had the pleasure of visiting the New Modern Wing at the Chicago Art Museum.  What a beautiful architechural display of Art!
What an Inspiration to us all. 
The use of controlling Light , by the design of the magic carpet roof, is fantastic.  And the subdued mesh windows let you view the Art, but then look past, to  view the beauty of the City and Millenium Park.
Bravo!

And I have just the painting! 

I've been thinking about all those cabin fever friends,
 and so my quote comes from de Maistre the "Room Traveler"

"I was spurred on by an uncertain longing to be transported from a boring daily life, to a marvellous world." 

My quote this week comes from Wendy Beckett of BBC Radio,

          

 Well back to work it is. There's nothing like the smell of oil paint in the air!

This weeks' quote comes Willa Cather;

"What was any Art but a mold to imprison for a moment ,the shining elusive element which is life itself- life, hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose."        

 Happy Cinco!! Hope all is well out there.

And because of the Holiday I'll take my quote from a famous Mexican artist       - Frida Kahlo 

"I paint my own reality.  The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my mind without any other consideration."

What a great experience the whole weekend was.  Starting with VIP night.  A top notch evening, that was a lot of fun too!  Saturday was freezing but still fun. And Sunday was a beautiful day.  Thanks everyone for coming out.

Quote for the week is from Pablo Picasso,

"People don't realize what they have when they own a picture by me.  Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it."
