Freda, Fulang Chang, and Me

 

8 x 8 Oil on Gessobord

A photo op at the MOMA.  A woman getting a close picture of "Fulang Chang and I" by Freda Kahlo.  What attracted me to this was that the woman looked a lot like Freda from the back.  Plus, this is one of my favorite paintings at one of my favorite places in the world.  This is a study to work out issues for a larger piece I plan on doing, and I see a lot that I need to work on :-)

Paparazzi

SOLD

I'm pretty sure this man works for one of the local newspapers.  He was taking photos of a music and art event I had attended.  He had lots of equipment with him, and his camera which probably weighed a ton and certainly wouldn't fit in my little shoulder bag like my camera does...By the way, did you know that "Paparazzi" is plural for the singular "Paparazzo?"  I didn't either :-)

Katherine's View

8 x 8 Oil on Gessobord

My Daughter-In-Law was here visiting.  She and my son live in Singapore, but we got to spend a great week with Katherine.  She's a terrific photographer with her own blog, KK's Photo Friday.  Each Friday she posts photos she's usually taken the previous week.  Today, she posted from Munich, Germany, where they are vacationing.  Their next stop is Copenhagen.  This painting is Katherine zooming in on the farmhouse in the distance in Bedford, VA.  We took her to get some new lens filters for the camera while she was here.  The photos she posted today were wonderful, so I guess the filters really work well :-)
