Kazimierz Stabrowski, Peacock (1908), National Museum, Warsaw. An example of Polish secessionist art, highly decorative, symbolical composition that seem fantastic combined with elements of Art Nouveau.

She looks just like Kirstie Alley!

This huge sculpture was in SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) for several years. It was in an area open to the public without admission so one could see it and walk through it without paying for museum entry. The first picture was taken from the floor above the sculpture looking down on it and the second was taken while walking through the sculpture.

This was a really cool display at the Saatchi Gallery in London back in 2013. They asked school children 4 to 18 to create horses using certain guidelines and awarded schools prizes based on their student's pieces. I've included a close up of one of the horses and a view of most of them as they were displayed.

I loved this sculpture in the courtyard of the Vatican, June 2010

Here's another piece my wife worked on, it's entirely glass, glass screen printed on glass and then fused.

This lady we know picks up flat stones and paints a scene on them. She doesn't sell them. Just gives them away. That envelope is 5 inches across x 3

I love this small sculpture near a dog park in San Jose.

I enjoy Graffiti murals. I figure if they're gonna do it, the least they could do is make it pretty.

I'm boring. I love all art for it's own sake, but I get stuck in the Medieval period, because, well, that's what I studied for years. I give you a segment of "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch:

This was a rather cool class gallery at San Jose State where the class created things using cardboard. I've included a wide shot of a portion of the gallery and some individual pieces. This show was in October of 2019.

Amazing what a creative mind can make out of cardboard. Especially like #2 and #4.

I still remember the "sitting man" my husband made out of chicken-wire in his art class back in the 70's, and wish we'd kept it.

Here's something I made. It's a test piece I made to test a process for making a psychedelic chess board. I've never made the chess board, but once we get the kiln working well I might actually make the full size chess board. This piece is currently hanging on our fence in the back yard along with a lot of other glass pieces.

Lovely @asp3 !!

This is a rather haunting and disturbing exhibit I saw at the Saatchi gallery in London back in 2013.
