Things that I like…

"untitled..."

This is a photo I took of the sky before the storm this past Saturday…from  it came these words:

golden sun ends her day,

the taste of orange sweetens the earth.

setting, not settling, until tomorrow comes again.

Art + Science

Color/Light Exhibit at The Museum of Science and Industry

Although I decided at a young age that I was an artist, I always had a passion for science too.  So throughout my education, I took as many science classes as I could (I’m just one test shy of a Secondary Science Education endorsement, although I think I need some major reviewing at this point).  I find as much inspiration at the Art Institute as I do at the Museum of Science and Industry.  This is where Art + Science come together for me.

Inspirations…

Images from The Roy Lichtenstein Exhibit at The Art Institute of Chicago.

I visited the Art Institute Of Chicago to view the Roy Lichtenstein exhibit…his works need to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.  I admire the way that Lichtenstein was able to capture the essence of the artists’ he was influenced by while staying true to his own style.  Now when I attempt this, I intend to attain the same integrity…keep an eye out for those Matisse/Lichtenstein/Pelka lemons.
