Thank you for the intro to Lucian Freud, guys. I checked his works out on Goggle and you are right, Phylp, too graphic.
Except this one, Naked Child Laughing.
It's all about brushstrokes. I love the shadow on her leg, among other things.
The smile is devastating.
This sign is a beauty, too.

hey there, say...
some very nice shares...
thank you so very much, :)
say, mouse... that girl reminds me of someone i know,
so it makes it more special...
love the SIGN, too, :))
thanks for sharing, everyone...
*getting close to finally share some more of what i
"should have been doing"
but phylp, is so right: it is great to be able to
enjoy other special stuff:
i have HAD a new piece of land, sold to me, due to help from my family, and i have been able to 'create on it' ... :))
along with 'tons' of other stuff, though, as well...
my two friends, are the ' living art ' in my life,
this last year... :))
say, WOW, i HAD heard of this before:
The exhibit said he would often clean his brush after each brush stroke. I had not heard that before.
but NOT about him... it was about someone that did
portraits... they had advised it...
but wow, i TRIED to make myself do this a few times... and i sure
understood why... but i got too much 'in a hurry' or--into what my brain was thinking and doing, with the art, that i FORGOT all about it,
very very soon, :))
thanks for sharing that!

Glad you liked the Freud stuff, Mouse.
I'm happy for you with your new house Neebee.
Today we went to the "new" Broad Museum in DTLA. It's been open for a while but you have to reserve admission tickets a month or more in advance, so we just finally got our act together to go.
I think the architects did a fantastic job on the design of the building and galleries. The "skin" gives them the ability to let the most wonderful natural light into the galleries without any direct exposure of the artwork to it. And the flow of walking from one gallery to the next is very easy and open.
About the "skin", it looked very climbable - maybe 5.6-5.8. I wonder if anyone has done it yet? from where we were standing, it looked pretty easy, and the concrete seams looked like they might take cams pretty well!
I used to hate the work of Jeff Koons, but I have to say, I'm really starting to come around. There's a whole room of his stuff right now and it's rather hypnotic.

Of course, I love Jasper Johns:
I thought this one was quite beautiful:
Tons of other great stuff too but I'll stop with those. We'll definately be going back, as the collection in the vault is huge and I'm sure will be rotated out regularly. At $12 for parking in their garage and free admission, it's a great value.

Wow, you get around. Been meaning to get down to LA to the Broad Museum. Looks great. Also a show at the Getty of Barbizon School painters, mostly Rousseau I believe. Lots of good stuff going on down in LA.

Hi All,
I nearly finished my largest painting to date last night. I also took a timelapse video of the process and added a voice over about what painting Yosemite has added to my life. Happy to have captured and to share this little sliver of expression. :)
Check the video out: Salt Earth Art: Painting the Life You Love
Cheers,
Allyson

Neebee,
I really like the one of the side by side Siamese cats, also the white one peeking out of the greenery below them, and the white and black spotted one with what appears to be an oversized collar sitting in front of the cat door. I am continually amazed at how much stuff you produce.
Some day I'll have to draw something other than a cat, but since I just started doing this about 7 months ago I am pretty happy that I can render anything realistically.

a special skill... you have what is GREAT for an art collection, for a show...

owners of the cats... like, personal display...
the ones more for a real art show, etc, that i have are about...

Our climbing buddy Michael Guardino aka Gargoyle is a painter in his own right, but he went to and art show by David A. Leffel and saw this painting and he said was his dad Harry Guardino an actor who played Barabbas in 'King of Kings' 1961. He also played Dirty Harry's partner Bressler in the movie. Anyway Goyle got to talk with David Leffel and he said that Harry's Barabbas was his inspiration in the painting!
