Hey thanks Jude. But I forgot to mention that too was a reproduction.
My bad.
The client had a calender of Angels and I used that as referance.
But I kinda painted her to have my wife's features.
The name of the artist evades me presently........off on a info quest!!
Found it! "Winged Figure" by Abbott H. Thayer.

Seeing original art of high quality is one of the advantages of living near a major city. For a fairly small amount of $, you can be a member of your local museum, and look at art over time. There are pieces at SFMOMA and the deYoung that I've sat in front of for hours now. Diebenkorn, Thiebaud, Rothko, on and on. The Oakland Museum has a great collection of the Bay Area artists, Bischoff, Oliveira, etc.
My vacations are 99% one of two things: climbing trips or looking at art trips. Last April, we spent two weeks in Rome, looking at amazing art every day. There are so many great art cities, London, Paris, NYC, DC.
Looking at art in person, standing in front of a painting, walking around a sculpture, is a magical experience. I cannot put it into words. Emotion, beauty, transendence...
I'm actually just about to leave to go up to SFMOMA for an hour...

Very cool. Thanks for sharing - as I wasn't familiar with Bansky's work.
This somewhat temporary work was done with a pressure washer on dirty concrete by Paul Curtis. Coined "Reverse Graffiti".

I have always been partial to Dali's work. But I have to disagree with the comment that his work is all small:
The Hallucinogenic Toreador - 157in x 118in
Tuna Fishing - 119in x 159in
The Last Supper - 65in x 105in
Portrait of My Dead Brother - 69in x 69in
The Railway Station at Perpignan 116in x 158in
No famous melting watches or putrification, but I actually prefer his later work, it has the most incredible detail.

Sounds like Phylp gets out much more, and will know much better than I, but here's the list of current exhibitions:
http://www.sfmoma.org/pages/exhib_events
I had hoped to get there to see the Cartier-Bresson photo exhibition, but it likely won't happen. But hopefully when it opens in a month or so, I'll make it there to see the Eadweard Muybridge show.
One of the most memorable exhibits for me in recent years was of Olufar Eliasson's work.
I almost like his photographic series of Iceland more than his interactive conceptual work with light
Any recent favorites Phylp (with images to post)? Anyone else?

This just in,
The day I went up I looked again at "the Anniversary show" which highlights the historical progression of aquisitions of the collection. We arrived just before the start of a docent tour. I usually don't do docent tours - they often do not stay long enough at any particular piece for my taste - but this one was good because of the historical tidbits about the art donors to the museum.
We also went to the exhibit on wine and art, which was quite clever and fun.
Nate, I agree with you, the Olufar Eliasson exhibit was FANTASTIC. I was mesmerized by some of his stuff and he was a new artist for me.
It would be fun to do a "supertopo goes to the museum" event! Maybe I'll try to organize one the next time there's a good new exhibit opening at one of Bay Area museums.
