That's funny, Jen cuz when I first saw that in a quick scroll I was like, "Grandma Moses?!?!?" Interesting to note it's an outsider woman artist...I love that tree -- it looks like the one that slaps Dorothy's hand in The Wizard of Oz.

Cool of you to highlight this gallery -- may just have to go take a look.

that tree is the african tulip tree, Spathodea campanulata. it makes me want to paint pictures, too.

thanks for the lovely random painting...

Those men are amazing. I got to hear his story of discovering a couple of Louise Crow paintings first hand and it made me weep openly.

Ooh, this is actually kind of exciting after all the conceptual college stuff. I'm intrigued by the Seattle Camera Club. I didn't much like seeing the word "Chihuly" on their web page, but I guess a little of that dirt gets in everywhere these days.

Wow!, an actual piece of art on the SLOG, say it aint so!

notice what sets this apart from the rest of the dreck that is posted?. It actually takes skill as an artist to create that piece. The rest only take skill as a bullshitter to make dumb people believe that you created art

It is really cool that you posted about this piece. I agree, it is an unfashionable, beautiful painting. I was wondering what kind of reception it would have if it were contemporary.
