Serpent Dancer 9 x 12 Acrylic
Serpent Dancer is part of the Solstice Series completed in December of 2010
My sister and Aunt and I went to the Blanton Museum last week to see the Turner to Monet exhibit which was quite impressive. Then we went upstairs to see the in-house art collection. And all I can say is... yikes! Having just seen the fabulous art of many classical masters it was quite an eye opener to see some of the "modern art" the museum has on display in their ongoing in-house exhibit. Admittedly I am not an art critic and I am by no means an art expert, AND I KNOW art is subjective and a matter of personal opinion, however, I will never understand how some art makes it into a museum. No matter how many times an esteemed art expert tries to explain it to me, I just don't get it. How can a big orange blob of paint on a great big canvas be considered museum quality art? I mean, my 5 year old niece can paint better than that. I would love to hear the sales pitch that convinces the museum curator to accept this "art" into the collection, It's got to be a real doozie! I only wish I had the salesmanship skills to get my art noticed, I mean, I can paint a big orange blob... I just generally choose not to. Anyway, it was a fun afternoon at the museum, quite inspirational, and as my Dad so often says, everyone is good for something, even if its just to be a bad example!
