My husband and I finally were able to visit the "Impressionists" exhibit today. The exhibit was held at the Kimbell Art Museum and was ending this Sunday. As I stepped into the exhibit I was sooo thrilled to be surrounded with so many beautiful and really old famous paintings from the 1800s. Two of my favorite artists were Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. My favorite painting was the self-portrait of Vincent Van Gogh. The colors and brush strokes of the painting was sooo amazing. I had Tawa to get a closer look at the Vincent painting and he too was blown away at the details and brush strokes. Each color and stroke was painted as if to portray it's own emotion. His choice of bright colors in his paintings definitely inspired me.
We definitely had a great time there at the musuem along with spending time together. :-)

Grand Opening!!!
I'm so exited to launch my first blog on the site!!
The purpose of my blog is to talk about different aspect of my art and to hopefully explain as much of my thought process on each piece as I can.
The painting to the left is one of latest that I've done. Vandi came to be requesting a Geisha lady wearing a dark maroon dress and the Geisha lady on a 60 x 48 canvas. As I was sketching, I realized a circular bright sun-like formation behind the lady would definitely put her in the spotlight. I also placed several lush green bamboos behind both matter to set it off. I really had a great time painting this piece. I hope you all enjoyed it as well. :)
