Here is a wide assortment of sculptures from different time periods that just happen to be my very favorite ones. Some of them I have come to love for their uniqueness and the stories behind them, some of them appeal to my sense of beauty, and some of them I chose because I admire the sculptor's...

It was brutal, but I chopped, axed, hewed, whittled, and cut down my list of favorite paintings to 10. You have seen a few of them on my blog, and you will see some additions to those that may be topics for future posts. Enjoy, or scratch your head and say 'Why in the heck did she pick that one?'...

Keith Haring (1958-1992)--you may not be too familiar with his name, but I am sure you have seen some of his work. Keith rose to fame in NYC by creating his drawings in the New York subway system on black paper panels with white chalk. He was a graffiti artist! His style of 'art with a message'...

At the end of the 19th century, photography replaced most realistic painting. Artists still painted portraits, landscapes, and still lives, but they began to use abstract and non-representational styles to do so. In the 1970's, a few artists began to work in a style called Photo Realism. They used...

Haul out the dynamite... stock up on blasting caps and drill bits...hire a crew of hundreds...you're ready to carve a mountain! Yes, Mt. Rushmore is my next extreme sculpture. I've visited this awesome monument several times and urge you all to experience it as well. The 'sculptor' is...

Willard Wigan, a British sculptor, is known for making the smallest works of art on earth. This type of art is known as micro-miniature art and can fit on the head of a pin, or in the eye of a needle. Willard makes these minute creations from grains of rice and sand, and paints them with a hair from...

Audrey Flack (1931-?) is widely thought of as a pioneer of photo-realism, a style of art that is so realistically done that it looks like a photograph. She was committed to the idea that the greatest art is that which can be understood by everyone, not just an elite, well educated populace. Her style...

Rain, rain, and more rain here. Here is another Curry painting called Mississippi Noah that is looking more and more like my neck of the woods. I went out to check the river south of town a couple of days ago, and had to stop to let some Canadian geese and their goslings cross over in front of me from...
