“Vanishing Point” by Ambera Wellman (2020) @ Columbus Museum of Art The CMOA has a gallery dedicated to queer feminist art, which I thought was a lovely start. Someday it will just be, art. But right now, perhaps it’s a good thing — a very good thing indeed — that we carve out a space,ContinueContinue reading “Even Thou Art A Little Queer”

The Doctor and His Companion
“Portrait of Dr. Gachet (Auvers-sur-Oise)” by Vincent Van Gogh (1890) – Through Vincent’s Eyes Van Gogh was afraid to depict people when he was actively learning the art of drawing (pre-painting). Fortunately, his future self knew better. More on that soon, I promise. But for today – jump forward in time with me, to theContinueContinue reading “The Doctor and His Companion”
Drawings from the Big Chair
“The Empty Chair” from The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper @ Through Vincent’s Eyes One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. A particular work of art, TV show, book, or experience can come across as the greatest of all time to one, and a boring waste of time to another. Hence, I hesitate to indulgeContinueContinue reading “Drawings from the Big Chair”

“Marsh with Water Lilies, Etten” by Vincent Van Gogh (1881) @ Through Vincent’s Eyes A draw-er doesn’t draw because she loves to draw. She doesn’t draw because she draws well.

The Sweetness of the Stillness
Unknown bottom right portion of unknown artwork @ Columbus Museum of Art Shame on me – I didn’t document what painting this is from, or who painted it, or even what the central image was. My eye merely caught this fabulous feline, and for the briefest of moments, I was home. Shot on Pixel 6ContinueContinue reading “The Sweetness of the Stillness”
Prelude to an Artist
“The Three Trees” by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1643) @ Through Vincent’s Eyes I’ve heard it said that Prince is the guitarist’s guitarist, Tom Waits is the songwriter’s songwriter, and Bowie is the rock star’s rock star. Oh, and Vonnegut is the writer’s writer — that much I can personally affirm. It should come asContinueContinue reading “Prelude to an Artist”
The Opposite of Art
“Fifty Days at Iliam: Shield of Achilles” by Cy Twombly @ Philadelphia Museum of Art I just … I don’t … this can’t … Ugh. I have no words for what this is … or rather, what this isn’t. Hard to believe it made it into the museum, harder still to believe this series gotContinueContinue reading “The Opposite of Art”
The Great Gray Midpoint
Even winter — the hardest season, the most implacable — dreams, as February creeps on, of the flame that will presently melt it away. Everything tires with time, and starts to seek some opposition, to save it from itself.Clive Barker Never been much of a fan of calendar months dictating behavior. I don’t make NewContinueContinue reading “The Great Gray Midpoint”
