Another young neighbor from the Port Aransas beach this summer. Now that Sharkboy and Lavagirl are back in school I look forward to returning to that vacation, via my camera and easel. I find the study of artists and their use of photography to be facinating and have been reading about Norman Rockwell lately - a brilliant photographer. If you're interested, I highly recommend Ron Schick's book Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera. And of course the highly-touted Rockwell exhibit, Telling Stories, from the collections of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg currently at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Click here for a link to the podcast about the exhibit and here for the SAAM blog, Eye Level. Hmmmmm..., how to work Washington D.C. and Stockbridge, Mass. (the NR Museum) into college visits this year....
PS. Don't you just love museum blogs, BTW? A few of my favs: Face to Face (National Portrait Gallery), Inside/Out (MOMA), and Uncrated (Dallas Museum of Art). One I'm just starting to look at: The Jewish Museum in NYC. What are your favorites?

OMG Mitzi-your paintings just keep getting better and better. The reflection in this piece is amazing. These look like great links too and I can't wait to check them out.
Love this little guy Mitzi, you really have everything working here...he could be one of my boys!
Mitzi,
your works are wonderful
How did I miss this little fella? Awesome reflections and everything else!
This is beautiful - very well done - great composition, colors, reflections, light - the whole deal - The Norman Rockwell Museum is a fantastic take in - there are many colleges to visit in Western Ma and while (if) you are there be sure to check out the Clark Museum at Williams College ooooh and MassMoca (an amazing space!).
dare I say that this is a masterful as a certain fabulous artist we know?
Well, it is. Delicate but saturated color and great brushwork.
