At Home with Artists
I have always been drawn to still life paintings replete with an abundance of fruit, delicately-blown glasses, curious objects, loaves of bread, and dark or glowing light. Without realizing it, these images have molded my style.
I created a home where stands and bowls of fruit await little hands grabbing a snack or the casual passersby picking up a pair of luscious cherries or a crisp apple.
Will it surprise anyone that museums have always been my favorite places? When I would leave the museum in my childhood, I returned to a home filled with art, much of it made by my dad.
A recent visit to the Art Institute had me in one of my usual spots, the Cézanne gallery. I could look at these for weeks.
