Frans Hals

A painter that I'm admiring recently, Frans Hals; last year the Toledo Museum of Art acquired a painting by Frans Hals (see below).

Frans Hals Campen Family Portrait

I am working on a technique that I've never tried before. Please check back in September.

One of my pieces that can be purchased at the River's Edge Gallery in Wyandotte, MI.

William Adolph Bouguereau -He isn't as popular as the impressionists are in our time, in fact it sounds as though he is very controversial now - how wonderful! I love his translucent flesh tones and you can always learn something from almost everyone. I certainly never have heard about him before but I will definitely have to investigate his technique if possible! *see link above to his webpage

The Sun Goes Down And The World Goes Dancing Lyrics So the sun goes down and the world goes dancing And the stars come out and they all go dancing And there is nothing I'd like more Than a twirl across this rickety old floor Well I don't know why but I just feel like dancing I can't imagine why but I feel like dancing And there is nothing in this world That I'd like better than a twirl across your rickety old floor Maybe it's you You know your eyes are awful blue Maybe it's more Maybe you're all I ever waited for After all the endless nights when I wished I could still cry

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year 2012! Although I don't give much regard to the Mayan calendar-Doomsday-hoopla, I do appreciate Pre-Columbian art.
