You are a good painter and should be painting. <br /><br />The Art Institute is a great museum, and the city is getting more and more visitor friendly. But if you make a trip here, come in the summer. It is so much better in warm weather.Lori Kiergaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497607774117687013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067628414959596323.post-60264999830555713972010-01-26T13:38:07.897-06:002010-01-26T13:38:07.897-06:00Lori,

I'm interested in your posts on Munsell. I've picked up on some of Graydon's ideas and have been preparing lines of pre-mixed hues, all at chroma 6 and values 2,4,6,8. Ten hues plus neutral. We'll see how it works.<br /><br />I haven't been to Chicago in years, but your comments have me curious to see the museums.<br />BobBobDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316293232333058644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067628414959596323.post-84639313035650005912010-01-25T16:18:11.346-06:002010-01-25T16:18:11.346-06:00Hi Bob,

It is just that I am not completely sure, yet.<br /><br />I know that I was sure that the new wing was built "like an empty Ikea" but repeated visits have made me change my mind.<br /><br />Hey, are you still painting?Lori Kiergaardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12497607774117687013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7067628414959596323.post-40943587841260930712010-01-25T16:09:56.582-06:002010-01-25T16:09:56.582-06:00Interesting post, Lori.

One doesn't have to be a Nobel prize winner to identify bad writing. <br /><br />If it is to be successful, art must speak to an audience in a meaningful way. Your work may not be hanging in the National Gallery (yet), but you certainly have a refined enough eye to know whether something speaks to you. And if something at the Art Institute strikes you as a piece of junk, maybe it just is.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm very sorry to read about the turmoil in your life recently. I hope things are getting back on track.<br />Bob DodgeBobDodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00316293232333058644noreply@blogger.com
