What I love about the public library

• it's so quiet I can hear myself think

• the Art section is huge!

• all the flat surfaces are clear of clutter

• I feel like I'm absorbing knowledge just sitting next to so many books

• I do still like the feel of a book in my hand and the aged scent of its pages...

• A verse from a song I used to play for my kids comes to mind "teacher takes us off to the moon for a closer look.... We don't have to go very far, it's right there in a book..."

• hear is what I'm 'reading'...it's a really cool book

Milwaukee,WI Art Museum ~ Robert Henri

Traveling for a family wedding.... had some time to kill before our return flight so stopped at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The architecture of the building alone is worth a visit to see. Inside contains such a broad collection of art. I was excited to see three pieces by one of my favorite oil painters, Robert Henri.

Blonde Bridget Lavelle, 1929, Robert Henri

Betalo Nude, 1916, Robert Henri

The Art Student, 1906, Robert Henri

The Old Library at Lake Afton ~ a commission

Happy Easter everyone!

Sharing a recent commission delivered. Lake Afton is wonderful this time of year.

A peaceful place to gather, feed the ducks, fish, enjoy a coffee from the nearby Starbucks.
The Old Library on Lake Afton is full of history and one of my favorite landmarks to paint.
