Pop Culture: Hillary White

I love White's interpretation of "The Last Supper" (by 16th century German artist Hans Holbein the Younger) which she titled "The Best Supper". View the slide show here:


In Honor of International Women's Day

A nice homage to the contribution of 10 architect women. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Moki- Photorealistic Paintings

Reading the Huffpost Arts & Culture Section, I stumbled into this article about the artist Moki, who lives and works in Hamburg. I learned that her photorealistic paintings "find inspiration in comic book themes and natural and human mysteries.." Her work fascinates me!



So here is the link to read the article and to see more of images of her work:

Latest Oil- Hanging from the Wall ...

I found this pulley in an antique store by my neighborhood. The object was hanging on a blue hallway wall as my father's carpentry tools.

My father was a carpenter. His studio was on the back of the house. It was a large room with a wooden door and one large window. All his tools were hanging from one of the walls -sometimes organized and other times liying down around a wood project he was working on. I enjoyed wandering into that space ...
