Some recent photographs I took in the Stockyards of Old Fort Worth. I was born here. It's otherwise known to locals as Northside or Cowtown and this is where they say "the west begins". It's very much a tourist destination where you will see a lot of tourists but also locals and real Texas cowboys. There are a lot of bars, restaurants (oh yes, real Texas barbeque!), genuine western stores, historic hotels and a full size train ride you can take. It's fun for both adults and kids and is the one must see destination when you visit Texas!</div>

Gwen Stefani is so stylish and cool and I've loved her music every since I heard my first No Doubt song. Sometimes I'll paint 2 or 3 paintings of a subject in different styles. I've painted 3 portraits of Gwen Stefani over the last few years.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had an awesome visit at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. I'm always inspired and excited to see the famous paintings of artists like Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Roy Lichtenstein, Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock But then it's great when I discover other artists like Alain Jacquet. This was my first time to see his beautiful painting "Camouflage Botticelli (Birth Of Venus)". I absolutely loved his creativity with the subject and his brilliant execution of the painting. The colors were very striking and it is a very intriguing and innovative Pop Art statement painting on Pop Culture. </div>

I go to a museum at least once a month. It's my other "church". On this trip I visited both the Kimbell Art Museum and the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.<br />
I love all art: ancient, modern, paintings, sculpture... But as a painter, paintings are my favorite. I get butterflies in my heart when I see some paintings....<br />
I study the paintings. I watch the people. I listen to what they have to say. I dissect the paintings. I am always mesmerized. Handling paintings every day it's hard not to touch the paintings in a museum. It's difficult to simply view them as beautiful pictures and not analyze them for technique. But I am always left with a feeling of comradery with the other artists, always inspired and challenged. And every time I go I always feel that I am a little bit closer to becoming one of them.<br />

This is a very challenging painting. I have been working on it on and off for the last two months. I plan to work on this one for a long time and bring it up to photorealism the best I can. I only recently saw the movie for the first time and fell in love with it. And when I saw this scene, I knew I had to paint it.<br />

Over the weekend I got a chance to see an awesome exhibition of New York Modern Art of the 80's. The exhibition is currently at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The collection included art by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel and the Guerrilla Girls.<br />

It’s the first time I got to see one of his paintings in person! Titled “A Next Loi</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: color: #37404e; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">n And/Or” (1982). It was a large gallery sized painting, at least 40 or 50 inches. Maybe only artists will understand, but as an artist when you get to see the works of your favorite artists, it is a moving experience, an almost religious experience. They are your family. They know. I went there not knowing which painting I would be seeing, I only knew they had one of his paintings. It was in the farthest room from the entrance, in the back corner, past the Picassos, the Magrittes, the Warhols. Either because they don’t feel his work is important enough to put in the front or because it is so popular that they want you to walk past all the other paintings first so you will see everything. Either way I find it curious, and I think Basquiat would find it amusing. At first I thought it was painted with oil pastel because the lines are unbroken but then I realized he painted it with the oil paint straight out of the tube, using the tube as his “brush”. So most of the color was primary, very vibrant. No picture can do it justice. It was stunning.<br /><br />When I saw it tears welled up in my eyes. I wanted to just sit on the floor in front of the painting and take it in and let tears roll down my cheeks. But here is the studious docent with her hands behind her back guarding the paintings and keeping watch out of the corner of her eye. Several people milled around. No picture taking allowed. I had to just take it with me in my heart….<br /><br />You see, artist or not there is something for all of us to learn from this painting, this artist. I think he is the greatest artist of my lifetime. He is the Picasso of my lifetime. Here is his painting among all the pristinely painted paintings of many great artists. But it stands out among them, screaming and screaming to be heard and seen. What a freakin brilliant genius. It makes no apologies. It says, “Here I am. Take it or leave it”. It says, “Don’t try to be somebody else. Be yourself. Be different”. That’s how you become great. That’s where the greatness lies. I freakin love him for that.</span></div>

You have a rare opportunity to see this particular painting by Vincent Van Gogh at the Dallas Museum of Art until September 2013. It is currently being shown in a special exhibit about President John F. Kennedy's stay in Dallas. This painting was one of the several valuable works placed in the suite of the
Texas Hotel in Fort Worth, Texas for the night of November 21, 1963. The last
known outside personal phone call President John F. Kennedy ever made was to
thank those responsible for arranging for the art to be placed in his suite. I saw the exhibit and it is a notable and moving exhibit worth the trip. All of the pieces that were placed in Kennedy's hotel room are in the exhibit.<br />
<br />
The painting is on loan for the exhibition from a private collection. This is one of Van Gogh's pointillism pieces, a technique of painting in which
small, distinct dots of pure color are
applied in patterns to form an image. Pointillism was developed in 1886 by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac who branched it from Impressionism. Van Gogh adopted pointillism for a short while when he was in Paris, but soon
found out the process was not suitable for his temperament and used it and its
bright, unmixed colors to find his own style.</div>

<b>Automat (1927) by Edward Hopper</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Read it and weep. Pure emotion on a canvas. A lone woman sitting in an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automat" target="_blank">Automat</a> at night staring at a cup of coffee. A solitary moment caught in time. One word: Isolation. She could be anyone, nicely dressed, not a vagrant. Its winter. She wears a coat. Its cold. She wears a glove. But she doesn't even bother to take off her left glove much less her coat. She's too tired, or too cold to remove them. Or is she in hurry? I say no, she's there to get warm or for reflection. She's had something to eat too. An empty plate adds to the emptiness. There is no reflection in the window except for the glare of an avenue of lights, not even her own. More isolation, a tunnel-like effect. She is reflecting inward. She is beautiful, eyes downcast, looking inward. Beautiful legs, the brightest spot on the canvas, providing a voyeur effect. Where has she just been? Or where is she going? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A beautiful description of what we sometimes feel, alone in a public place.</div>

Grant Wood’s <em>American Gothic</em> is a bit ersatz — the artist recruited
a Cedar Rapids dentist, B.H. McKeeby, to pose as the farmer, and his sister Nan
plays the woman (conceived as the farmer’s spinster daughter, not his wife).<br />
But the setting was inspired by a real cottage in Wood’s native Iowa, and by
his admiration for “the kind of people I fancied should live in that house.”<br />
“I tried to characterize them honestly, to make them more like themselves
than they are in actual life,” he said. “To me they are basically good and solid
people.”<br />

I visit the Dallas Museum of Art a few times a year. I go to study the paintings. Every visit is different as I progress as an artist. I study different styles and techniques. This time I took pictures! Here are some of my favorite paintings from my latest visit. They are on the 2nd level of the museum and you have to take the Blue elevators to get to them.</div>

I was particularly interested in seeing this Gauguin after learning more about his troubled life. I knew about his time with Van Gogh and that he had lived in Tahiti for a time when he painted the beautiful paintings of Tahitian women but I did not know about his many other travels and his troubles with illness. I thought perhaps he had a blissful life there but apparently he did not and it makes the paintings all the more meaningful to me knowing how much beauty he brought to the canvas while in life there was disorder. This painting is very peaceful to me. I am drawn to the trees and the colors and I love how his figures are primitively drawn instead of academically which adds to native and tropical mood.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love Modigliani's paintings and how all the figures have an emotional quality. I see a sadness is many of them which is possibly a reflection of Modigliani's own life. And I'm always struck by how large they are for the style in which they are painted. The painting is grand and beautiful and begs the question of who this boy is, where has he been and where is he going. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And this time I was focused on the face and how there was a cubism quality to his construction of it.</div>

I am fascinated by Mary Cassatt as one of the female Impressionists and as an American. This particular painting has all the softness and beauty of Degas, Renoir and Monet that you might not distinguish hers from theirs, until you see her signature. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another powerful painting by Magritte. I'm always struck by the perfection of every spot on the canvas of his paintings. He was so precise. Not to mention the incredible symbolism and narratives in his works. Its the deeply meaningful paintings like this that made me fall in love with art and want to become an artist. I love how it arouses questions. Is this the love of his life? Is this his way of putting her on a pedestal and showing us that's how much she means to him? Is he putting all women on a pedestal as the "daily bread" of life? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks to me like he has tunnel vision for a beautiful woman.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Such beauty and meaning. I adore this one.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pablo Picasso. Such a rascal and a genius. I love his work. And as a painter and guitarist I especially love his guitarists. This is a very large life size painting. Some areas of the canvas are very quickly and seemingly haphazardly painted, almost impressionistic. It does not interfere with the magic and distinction of the painting. When you stand back and look at it, you don't see that at all. It was painted later in life, 1965, when he was already the art star of the century. He can paint it how he wants. He knows how to put what where, and he puts it where it counts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been to museums with people who dislike Picasso. They don't understand it or see the beauty in it. When I look at his work, I don't see necessarily see the "pieces", or the "cubes". I see the whole. Like a puzzle that has been put together. And in that I see the balance and the beauty. I see what he has done is incredible innovation. Look at it up close, then stand back and look and it becomes something magical.</div>

Everyone loves Monet. I love Monet. The soft peacefulness in his paintings. Looking at one is like hearing a symphony. From the distance this one is almost photographic. The colors look so real to life. Or are they? That is Monet's magic. The closer I get the harder it is for me to comprehend how exactly he knew where to apply each stroke of paint. It is sometimes difficult to paint up close what must be seen from a distance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On this one I was particularly interested in the soft shade of green he used on the tree in the foreground. I find this painting so peaceful I almost want to grab a parasol and head out in a rowboat into the water...</div>

Georges Braque's cubism still life. When I look at his work I think of how his and Picasso's work must have been earth shattering to see in 1912. People were just coming to grips with Impressionism. I imagine that to own a piece like this would be to see something new in it everyday. And that is what makes a great masterpiece.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Morisot, one of the great female Impressionists. Her life story and participation in the Impressionist movement is touching and so I always look to see her paintings. I found this painting lovely. Although the woman in the painting is unknown, what is so striking and what makes this painting especially powerful is the woman's posture. Like a photograph you might capture of a woman struggling through the snow on the street on a cold winter day, bundling to stay warm.</div>

I love painting Surrealism. And this is one of my favorites I've painted. It is an original and is one of a kind. The painting measures 16 x 20 inches. It is Acrylic on canvas and was painted in about a week. The most challenging part of the painting was the background. Transitioning the background from dark to light smoothly is difficult with acrylic because the paint dries so fast. I do not use any other mediums to thin the paint except water. I find many of the chemicals in other mediums too harsh to work with. This is one of the paintings that I sometimes begin and don't know exactly what I'm going to paint or what its about. Sometimes it just comes to me as I'm painting. I knew I wanted to paint a woman who was represented by a tree. The title came to me as I was painting it. It is about how, with God, even when you are stripped of everything, you can still be a proponent of love. This is represented by the heart hanging from the tree. She is an "angel" giving mercy and kindness to others in an often barren world. God is represented by the North Star and is her guiding light to be an example of his love. </div>
