Slow Painting; A Deliberate Renaissance
Oglethorpe University Museum of Art

The artists in this exhibit are amazing. The writing/ manifesto was inspiring. The artists names are listed, go to their sites. Although sadly there were only a few women showing. The websites are a great lesson.

I am in love with Paul S. Brown's paintings of skin. I feel like I could touch and sink into the subjects. Painting skin is a big thing for me right now, that and hands. Check out White.
Happy Valentines Day

Another favorite (again thanks to MQoQ) is Modigliani.

Henri Matisse

not so much his plain simple ones, but the colorful ones with multiple patterns are SOOOOOOOOOOO appealing.

If you love Henri Matisse, go to Baltimore Art Museum to see what I believe is the largest collection in this country.

Hopper is one of my faves!
