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.

Camouflage Botticelli (Birth Of Venus) by Alain Jacquet

There is peace in simplicity.

This huge work of three canvas pieces took up one entire side of the room.

Lovely view of the reflecting pond from the museum.

An Artist's Visit To A Museum

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.
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....
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.

Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson

My current work in progress.

Lost In Translation.

Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson.

30 x 40

Acrylic on Canvas

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.
