View from the Train Window

So sorry I have no picture for this. On the way to Pittsburgh, the Amtrack train went through Milwaukee. Just as my son started fantasizing aloud about filming a zombie movie in this part of Milwaukee, I realized we were passing Marina Broere's studio building. We passed one more building and then saw an amazing site in the parking lot - a not thin man wearing sweatpants and a blue tutu pirouetting in the large empty parking lot. The train filled with sighs, giggles, and ahhs. Then the moment passed.

Rebecca Crowell’s Opening at Polderland Gallery

I am looking forward to my friend Rebecca Crowell’s opening in Milwaukee this Friday night, April 20. The event inspired a group of friends to venture to Southeastern Wisconsin. Rebecca will be exhibiting abstract paintings at the Polderland Gallery. Rebecca’s work is always deep and mature. Look carefully and you will be rewarded with a depth of texture, color overlays, and subtle markings. When viewing Rebecca’s work, you are not looking through a window to the world, you are immersed in the landscape, you are nature. They evoke an inward experience of natural phenomena and suggest a profound journey along a deep-rooted path. Polderland Gallery is at 133 West Pittsburgh Avenue in Milwaukee. It is the studio and gallery of Dutch artist Marina Broere. Marina’s paintings are also abstract and enigmatic.
