Edward Hopper at the Met

I am a big fan of Edward Hopper. His scenes of American isolation set in the forties carry an intriguing narrative. I am also entranced by the strong lighting he uses in his exterior scene. I am a fan!!!

Klimt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gustav Klimt was a famous Austrian artist in the Art Deco period who reveled in patterning. I bet people asked him to spell his name constantly! I'm just saying.

                                                                             Dear Imaginary Friends,

"Benito Pussalini, Kitten Dictator," Oil, 36 x 22"

Wow, I made my magazine debut for art yesterday when the April 2011 edition of elan magazine was published. Guess who is celebrating her good luck?!"Benito Pussalini" made the cut as did "Have a Slice", "Earnest the Seal", "Mrs. William Wegman", "Miami Deco","The Cherry Pie", "The High Heel", "The Pink Purse". The article is entitled Joie de Vivre, and is on pages 40 through 43.

I plan to scan it in, and display it on my blog, as soon as possible.

Your Almost Famous Artist Friend,

Patsie
