Jeffrey's Birthday

16" x 16" Oil on canvas

We went to Art Basel together in December to the Arts District in Miami, and saw this cool covered chaise love seat. I surprised Jeffrey with the "portrait". The chair was $10,000 so this is a fun reminder.

Art/ Basel/ Miami Beach

Made it to the Miami Arts District for some of the Basel Art Fair satellites. Really extrodinary if you have never been. Hundreds of galleries represented from all over the world with mini galleries. Outstanding contemporary art mostly with Modern art ...Emerging artists as well as established classics. Not any plein air painters I would say. Mostly high art of the personal kind. Here are some of the links: db-artmag.com,
I wasn't too thrilled with the demented explicit sexual images or so much with younger artists (under 40) with references to genetic defects, mutation and what's after the Big ONE (apocolypse) ...although there was a terrific gallery in San Francisco with exceptional artwork of the latter. I particularly liked the 6" bronze figures of children wearing animal skins and their various poses.

Still waiting for rebuilt HD meanwhile, and expecting to be online by end of year again. Thanks for visiting.
