Rooftop 2013
Paul Fenniak (b. 1965)
"He shows solitary figures in urban scenes bathed in glowing light. Uncanny quality of mysterious narrative not fully revealed. Author Douglas F. Maxwell said, 'He manages to push that button in the very place in us & touches our vulnerability.'" #art #artlover

First Date 2021
Chinese American artist Jeffrey Chong Wang b. 1979
"His characters continue to exude intensity, eyes averted, the figures’ postures often appear on the verge of dramatic scene. Paintings remain deliberate & Wang delves into the concept of distance & emotional imbalance." #art

Happy Birthday Ozias Leduc 1864-1955!

Poor thing, Roman. He had his first breakfast at 4am, but was ready at 9 for breakfast #2.

Monty Python Michael Palin bought another Walter Sickert piece. "I look at The Red Shop I feel as if I am in the street. The vivid vermilion of the shop front stands out from the purple-brown & ochre of the walls & surface of lane. Not a smart neighborhood. Shop awning sags. Door beckons." #artlover

Happy Birthday Hughie Lee-Smith 1915-1999
"Many years after winning top prize for painting from the Detroit Institute of Arts 1953, he said, 'I was no longer called black artist, Negro artist, colored boy. Winning that prize, there was no longer racial designation.'" #artlove

"Cama para Sueños" Bed for Dreams
Happy Birthday Carmen Lomas Garza! (b. 1948)
"Her choice to use personal & family images to combat racism is a departure from more political works by many Chicano artists. Creation of her own narrative speaks against racism on its own."

"Girl&Llama" 1946 Julia Thecla
Tiny vests, quilted skirts, high-button shoes! Peculiar little purses w/tiny lipsticks/makeup & straw hat w/hatpin; a sensation walking her leashed chicken in Chicago suburbs. She had rabbits, cats, dyed pink pigeon; spectacles to conseal shyness.
