I really enjoy the Florida Highway men art.

There’s a folk art auction house in Atlanta that often has them in sales. http://www.slotinfolkart.com/

I remember in the glory days of big old vans, they were popular van mural styles, too. Hahaha just gave away mah age there.

“End Of The Trail” by James Earle Fraser
Stands in the entry of the
National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.

If you ever find yourself in Atlanta, message me and I’ll take you up to the Booth Museum of Western Art. No idea why it’s in Georgia, of all places, but it’s a Smithsonian affiliate and has a fantastic collection.

Self Portrait of the Artist Hesitating Between Music and the Arts. Angelica Kauffman, RA, a founding member of the British RA - and last woman to be admitted until 1922.

I’ve been lucky enough to see several of her original paintings. The skin tones are exquisite. Her story is fascinating.

I have purchased several of her books for my grandkids, the illustrations are wonderful.

If you like beautifully illustrated kids books, Mercer Meyer’s “A Boy, A Dog and a Frog” series are wonderfully illustrated, really funny, and have no words. Kids have to make up the story as they go along.

Bernini's Rape of Porsepine -- The whole sculpture is incredible and can be seen at the Boughesi Gallery in Rome (go there at least once in your life). But look at the of the indentions made in her flesh. Looking at it in person, one swears it is fully allive.

It is quite remarkable.
I was fortunate enough to see it long ago.

I've always been a huge fan of Nicholas Cage Duck Art.

Your taste in art is impeccable 👌😂

These two are in a current exhibition of Latin-American artists at a museum I volunteer at.

You can see every individual hair on this girl’s head in this exquisite graphite drawing by Franklin Delgado


And this one by Melvin Toledo just tickles the hell out of me (besides being technically well done):


There’s some really interesting pieces in this exhibition.
