This is incredible, the colors amazing, the patterns beautiful, and the subjects intriguing. It makes me wonder. I'm thinking that's a young white fox...can't be a dog or can it...interesting. She's not Japanese but the clothing, hair ornaments, and parasol are. You can see her breath?...eerie. A tattoo on her back. And the softness of the face and fox is lovely. The butterflies and swirl pattern on the back of her Obi...exquisite. This artwork really speaks to me.
 
On October 14, I posted some pictures I took at a show at the De Young Museum in San Francisco which we attended with a group of women artists my wife has been friends with for decades. They take turns organizing events for the group one Saturday a month.

This one was not so well attended because some had relatives in Israel they were worried about after the bombing, one had fallen and couldn't go and another is just entering their 90's and no longer drive. Sometimes someone near them will pick them up and drive them but this time he wasn't feeling very well. So just 8 of us, six of the women artists, myself and the former boyfriend of the lady in the near right hand corner of this photo which he took at the outside tables of the museum cafe where we ate lunch. The second shows the outside of the museum .

This piece was a drawing done by the husband of the lady who had fallen, the only one to submit a piece for the show who had been accepted.

The last two photos show piece from this show which we came early to see as it would close the next day. Powerful but corporate feeling.

Kehinde Wiley: An Archaeology of Silence is a new body of paintings and sculptures by American artist Kehinde Wiley that confronts the silence surrounding systemic violence against Black people through the visual language of the fallen figure. In An Archaeology of Silence, the senseless deaths of men and women around the world are transformed into a powerful elegy of resistance.
