If you live in Orlando and have not yet visited the Orlando Museum of Art to view the Florida Prize in Contemporary Art exhibition… what are you waiting for?! Closing on August 18th, this annual event only features artists working in the state of Florida and always provides a timely glimpse into the social and […]
Read more "The Florida Prize in Contemporary Art 2019"I decided to change my planned post for today to something completely different due to time sensitivity. Today’s post will highlight the Abstract Expressionism show at the Tampa Museum of Art because it closes on August 11 and if you haven’t seen it, you should. I saw this show this weekend and it is really […]
Read more "Abstract Expressionism"I finally went to pay my respects to the man himself… Bob Ross. Bob Ross is buried here in Central Florida and this feels very auspicious to me. A number of local artists have posted to social media that they have visited his grave site, so in a way, it has become a sort of […]
Read more "Bob Ross"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"If you are in the Central Florida area or passing through in the next few weeks, I highly recommend visiting the Winifred Johnson Clive exhibit at the Orlando Museum of Art. This exhibition really caught me by surprise! I was not aware of this artist before seeing the show, but I was truly taken with […]
Read more "Winifred Johnson Clive: An Artist at Home and Abroad"This is the second piece in my tribute series dedicated to artist Yayoi Kusama. The painting on the left is inspired by the installation on the right titled, Love is Calling. I experienced Love is Calling twice while it was on view at the Tampa Museum of Art this past winter and I feel that I […]
Read more "Kusama Tribute (Love is Calling)"While in Chicago last month, I visited the Museum of Broadcast Communications. The ticket counter was at the foot of a flight of stairs and at the top of those stairs was an eye-catching sculpture. At first glance, I thought it was a piece by Name June Paik, but it was actually a piece by […]
Read more "“Media Tower”"A few weeks ago, I visited the Orlando Museum of Art to view the exhibit Louis Dewis: A Belgian Post-Impressionist. 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"While in Chicago a couple weeks ago, I visited the Museum of Science and Industry. It was a spectacular place that could not be experienced in a single day – repeat visits are definitely encouraged and required if you want to experience everything. Multiple floors of science-based and technology-infused exhibitions (their website claims 400,000 square […]
Read more "Numbers in Nature: Museum of Science & Industry"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 […]
