Lillies in Light oil painting by artist Adrian Martinez.

Lillies in Light oil painting by artist Adrian Martinez.

It was late afternoon in Georgia. I was at a place I knew I would never be again. Upon entering a room, light was coming through the window, illuminating lillies in a darkened room. I painted this moment. Lillies in Light by Adrian Martinez.

Wild horses are magnificent to watch. In mythology and legends they often symbolize freedom, strength and the ability to break free of restraints.🐎✨

For all cat lovers...an oil painting of my cat. Cats are so interesting...each one unique with one-of-a-kind personality, coloring, and eyes with a soul reaching view. 🐈‍⬛😻💫

Painting of Humphry Marshall in his home with items from his life.

My interest in Humphry Marshall led me to paint Marshall in his home, as well as meet the Friends of Martin Tavern whose mission is to preserve the story of Marshalltown and Marshall, who was a botanist, farmer, miller, astronomer and stone mason.

Description of Artwork: The Bath, 1890-1891, drypoint soft-ground etching and aquatint on Japanese paper, state 17 of 17, by Mary Cassatt at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. This print represents the final version of Cassatt's painstaking work in creating The Bath. Demonstrating her intensive process with clarity, the group of prints on this wall also offers an opportunity to appreciate her abiding interest in picturing rituals of care, feminine labor, and domestic intimacy. Across these impressions, the iterative nature of Cassatt's work in print portrays the diligent, routinized work of caregiving.

Against an off white backdrop, a woman with Afro hair style stands expressionless with hands behind her back while looking down to her right. She wears an all black pantsuit plus thin gold glasses and belt. 

On his first trip to Europe in 1966, Hendricks was struck by a portrait in the Uffizi gallery, in Florence, by the Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Battista Moroni: “The figure in a black, skin-tight outfit made me see the illusion of form and simplicity in a different light.” Miss T was a “direct by-product” of this encounter with the four-hundred-year-old painting. Hendricks’s subject, Robin Taylor, was his then-girlfriend: “Several paintings come with good color besides what’s on their canvases. Robin (Miss T) scared the shit out of my mother when she told her, ‘If she couldn't have me, no one would.’”

Painted during a triumphant visit home from Paris in 1897, Henry Ossawa Tanner’s portrait of his mother is both a tribute to Sarah Tanner—the central, stabilizing figure in her large and distinguished African American family—and a celebration of her son’s recent success in his chosen career, in which he had persevered despite initial opposition from his parents.

In its composition the work refers to a world-famous image by another American: James Abbott McNeill Whistler’s Portrait of the Artist’s Mother of 1871. Tanner’s portrait of his mother has none of the cool austerity of Whistler’s picture; instead it is an affectionate portrayal of a strong, sensitive, thoughtful personality.
