While doing research for my most recent class – The Art World: Today – I came across a documentary called “The First Monday in May.” Since I am devoting an entire class session to fashion’s 21st century role in the art world, I thought it would be a good idea to check this documentary out […]
Read more "The First Monday in May"I guess the theme for this week’s blog posts is art-related books because I had someone who attended my class on Frida Kahlo send me a picture of this board book for babies and kids. It is titled Frida Catlo and tells the story of artist Frida Kahlo as if she were a cat. It […]
Read more "Frida Catlo"This past Saturday I kicked off the 2nd annual Art Lovers Book Club at SoBo Gallery hosted by the Winter Garden Art Association. We had an amazing time discussing June’s book, Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper by Harriett Scott Chessman. You may remember that I posted about this book on the blog back in […]
Read more "Art Lovers Book Club 2019"I feel a certain connection to Dr. Seuss as we share the same birth date and because I grew up reading his books. Longtime followers may recall that I painted a piece for a Dr. Seuss-inspired art show a couple of years ago (Francis McFeather) and shared that piece on the blog. While we were in […]
Read more "The Art of Dr. Seuss"How does the writer of a nerdy art blog respond to yesterday’s events in Paris? Honestly… I don’t know. I don’t even know how to process such a thing.

I had heard very positive things from those who had already seen the show and I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition. It is an incredibly well-curated show including artifacts from the artist’s life to compliment his […]
Read more "Louis Dewis: A Belgian Post-Impressionist"Yesterday I took part in another edition of the Rediscovering the Masters series at Tildenville Marketplace in Winter Garden, FL. This month’s theme was “Monet in March” and it was a perfect spring day for an exploration of Impressionism. We kicked things off with a brief discussion of how Impressionism changed the art world forever […]
Read more "Monet in March"A few weeks ago I visited the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, FL to view the exhibition Degas: The Private Impressionist. I then wrote about it for ArtScene Press. Here is a brief excerpt of that article… The preliminary sketches and studies in this exhibit exemplify Degas’ masterful draftsmanship, and some drawings could stand as […]
Read more "Degas: The Private Impressionist"Please visit the ArtScene Press blog to read my article on the Magritte & Dali exhibit currently on view at The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL! Here is a brief excerpt… Theatrically curated, the artwork is hung on red walls, with each of the galleries delineated by lush red velvet curtains. Except for a […]
Read more "“Forbidden Literature” by Rene Magritte"In preparation for my upcoming lecture on Rene Magritte, I visited The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL to view their current exhibition Magritte & Dali. I won’t go into too much detail here on the blog about what this exhibition entails for two reasons: 1. I will be writing an article about the exhibition […]
