Lots of paintings I liked by painters I'd never seen! ...we hit the Guggenheim to see some art. Her friend painted her a mouth-portrait Paul Richard's drip-paintings are neato! I've known Kate since we were little...so it's always really lovely to see what's she's painting every time I see her... ... as we travel through life and time. They also had a bunch of paintings done by Lama Gyurme , a Buddhist artist who immigrated to Sante Fe from Tibet! Walking the dead back to the cementerio after the party is over. See you next year! And then later that evening I went over to Theresa Byrnes' Gallery to see her new art performance. She emerged from a clay and dragged herself across a long canvas. She showed me some paintings from her new series that I really liked. Did a little bit of measuring, and found a nice spot for them... ...in the living room! On Wednesday afternoon, I took delivery of three awesome paintings by Theresa Byrnes ...to look at three paintings of hers from a series I was interested in buying. I bought all three of them! She makes these paintings using water, ink and strands of her hair! We'd helped her move a bunch of large paintings from her storage unit and hang them in her studio. ...and you see a caricature of the artist! This form of graphical projection is called Anamorphosis . I also really liked this painting At first glance it looks like some kind of mosquito-like insect, but then you notice the metal cylinder... ...Musee du Luxembourg. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that some museums in Paris are open until 7 or 8pm. Hung this painting I love in my living room. They are strange. Got to see Leo Tanguma's "conspiracy murals" in the Denver Airport. Crazy mural when you enter. "The mural, designed by Ecko, puts visitors on the red carpet being photographed by paparazzi as they enter the front door." (source ) Enjoyed watching this guy paint at the dog park. The guy in this Alice Neel painting from 1971 looks just like David Cagiarri ! Gorgeous. Close Close. Reflection on the glasses? Cmon! Even when you're standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT, it still looks like a photo and it's HUGE. Chuck Close's stuff needs to be seen in person. Vin & Pollock. #NYFW #SickBangs #NYFW ANALOG PIRACY! The Glorification of the Royal Hungarian Saints. Biss, I'm trying to feather this letter. Annoyed close up. I love the cracked-paint patterns that are revealed when you view an old painting from an angle. We walked around the gallery and checked out the art - some of which was still being worked on. This Carla Dearman painting reminded me of Tara . And this. Loved this. And this. Lots of really interesting paintings like this. I liked the "sans ladder" version much more. This? Mustache and a dress. No big deal. Not so much. This painting looked a lot like Pacung. Here's the original painting! So bad ass! This picture is art too. It's called "Katie and Art = Art." Noice, right? Katie's a painter and we headed over to one of the galleries that was exhibiting some of her rad-ass paintings.
