Mastermind Discussion Group - August 17th

I have volunteered to lead the next Mastermind August 17th at 1:00 pm Pacific Time. Last week there were only two participating artists. Several more signed up but didn't show up. In order for this to work, the Mastermind Discussion really needs at least 5 people to participate regularly. To quote Aletta, "Masterminds are successful when members commit to be there, hold themselves accountable to the group and share the work of keeping the group going." This group discussion is for all… Continue

Home Gallery :The Diorama Show:

Last Saturday I did the unthinkable—I went to Hyde Park to look at some art that wasn't at the south side holy trinity (Hyde Park Art Center, Renaissance Society, Smart Museum). Sure, I could have headed over to the West Loop or River North art districts, but I… Continue

24 Works on Paper....

My piece in the "24 Work on Paper" show at the "Individual Artist Of Oklahoma" Gallery sold. It's a very good show with an interesting eclectic mix of art. I was very impressed with several of the pieces but liked them all.

Claudio Firoi is having his paintings shown in front of the Louvre

I love the types of emails that take my breath away. I get excited, happy and "oh my gosh" all at once! Today our member Claudio emailed to me that one of his paintings that I really loved, the "water lily" that he posted yesterday and 2 other painting still in progress are going in Paris at the Louvre (actually under the glass pyramids in front of it) in October! I am just so happy for him since he is a dedicated artist who is truly in love with art. Congratulations my friend!

Chicago Cultural Center's New Awsome Shows

I headed over to the Cultural Center yesterday, to hopefully get a sneak peek at what is opening on Friday. When I arrived, I was greeted by two roped-off Michigan galleries and a dire need for some artwork set in. I reached the southernmost gallery and began to hear people in the space saying, “This is pretty,” and “So colorful.” Now, one doesn’t expect to see ground breaking, or even very challenging work in a room where these words are uttered so readily. The whole time I was in the Gallery,… Continue
