It is so wonderful to travel and visit with friends and eat delicious food and see marvelous places. Right now am missing my studio and my work space. Carrying small sketchbooks, Pitt pens and using some kids’ crayons, my first drawings of 2023 🪅 These terrific trees, called Micocoulirrs, always announce that we are entering Provence and by luck, there’s one here in the jardin. No wonder Van gogh drew and painted so many! Full of curves and lines and spots they are so interesting! We are staying on Rue du la Grand Chane (enormous oak) and hope to draw it this afternoon Bonne Année to all and here's to a productive and healthy year of creative and healthy living #micocoulierdeprovence #legard #verfeuilleencevennes #treesilove #sketchbookdrawing (at Verfeuil) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm6OfKIojSw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Alice NEEL, 𝙐𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙀𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙜é Centre Pompidou jusqu’à January 16, 2023 Her earliest work focused on injustice and plight of basic existence and continued through her death at 84, in 1984. Outspoken and unyielding in her beliefs, she was marked by the FBI for communist affiliation, lost one daughter to disease, one to kidnapping by her Cuban husband, raised two boys in extremely modest circumstances and never ever stopped working and representing the marginalized. She resisted the currents of abstraction to paint portraits, often repeatedly of the same sitters. Her images track daily life in her neighborhood of Spanish Harlem and her portraits are often raw and backgrounds fade into nothing. The video of NEEL painting 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘴 is mesmerizing as your eyes move from the video to the nearby finished painting. This beautiful retrospective is well presented although am confounded by lack of any curatorial direction (even more evident at Munch show at Quai d’Orsay) which has viewers bumping in to each other as we attempt to see all the work. Brilliant and inspiring and so much more than shown here. #aliceneel #centrepompidouparis #unregardengagé #portraits #figurativepainting #beautifullines #humanity #parisfrance (at Centre Pompidou) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbhEAzIAqK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Always thinking about water and how benign it can be, before swelling to something more dangerous. * Three Shades of Green gouache on paper Framed and ready for hanging 20 x 16 2022 (at Lake Michigan, Chicago Lakefront) https://www.instagram.com/p/CltsNbQLMlY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The past year has been amazing for getting my art and ideas into collectors home. The response to my recent Where There is Water series has been terrific and am always honored with your support and purchases. To close out this year, I am going to launch an Archive Sale, pulling out work from the past. Having worked as an artist most of my life, there are quite a few small works (and a few larger ) looking for homes. I will be posting here (with a link in my bio) and will encourage you to peruse and let me be part of your collection. Will start Monday and will be adding and subtracting pieces as we go. Thank you all ❤️ art #fineart #artforsale #artistlaynejackson #modernartforthehome #votevotevote (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkliNwELbop/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Matthew Wong, The Realm of Appearances, at the Dallas Museum of Art. The first retrospective of the late artists’ lyrical and evocative paintings. Thé Dallas Muséum of Art was the only museum to collect his work during his five year painting career and this is the first museum exhibition devoted to his work. Self-taught, he worked through various media and adapted styles. Working often with small figures moving through his landscapes, there is a melding of abstraction and nature. * Gouache, oil, ink, watercolor. I loved seeing this work * Opened Sunday and runs through February 19, 2023. * #matthewwong #dallasmuseumofart #therealmofappearances #visuallanguage (at Dallas Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkFTGxYMHne/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
