Painting by Michael Indorato, seen at the Antique Emporium Asbury Park. I’m curious to learn more about him, as I see he’s a “artist, inventor, teacher,” sometimes makes art with something he calls a “Spindorato,” and travels the country with a tiny home pulled behind his van!

Installation view of Thaddeus Mosley’s exhibition “Recent Sculpture” at Karma Gallery on East 2nd Street in NYC, up through April 22nd. These works are all from 2020-2022, coming from an artist currently 96 years old! Mosley began creating wooden sculptures in the 1950s while working at the United States Postal Service, which enabled him to both provide for his family and develop his art in his free time. Mosley continues his life’s work as an artist in his Pittsburgh studio near the Allegheny River. #sculpture #woodsculpture #thaddeusmosley #karma #karmagallery #artgallery #eastvillage #nyc (at Karma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqE5ygyM945/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We continue to receive a lot of emails and pictures of rock art and face effigies from people around the world who find these things.

You can pick up this homage to Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” for only $95, if you find yourself at the Antique Center of Red Bank, NJ. It doesn’t match Van Gogh’s brushwork very well, but maybe that’s why I like it. #vangogh #starrynight #copy #homage #thriftstoreart #antiques #nj #redbank #vincentvangogh (at Red Bank, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpwQPmHs4Gs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I enjoyed getting an introduction to the work of Julia Rooney today at Freight + Volume Gallery in NYC. The first one, “OBJ 0226,” 2021, measures 6 x 6 feet, yet the selection of works in the 2nd picture are all 2 x 2 inches - and all equally gorgeous! #abstractart #paintings #juliarooney #freightandvolumegallery #nyc (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CprCkFdsN9z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What would you think if you found something like this? This picture was sent to us by a reader of our portable rock art coverage on the Artsology Blog who says she found it in the San Diego area. She asks, is this something a “cave man” would have carved or made?
