I recently…read moretook a painting to their gallery after discussing and viewing the artwork and the pricing with Tracy Pollack. I was told by Phil (owner)after I arrived that they did not have a client base that would pay the amount needed for the painting but they agreed to hold it for a month. A day later I received a call to pick up the painting because they felt it was a print and not an original. The painting was done by a living close relative who has been a professional, accomplished artist and gallery owner for 50 years with a stellar reputation. I wonder if Senator Alphonse D'Amato thought his portrait was a print while it was being painted? Let's ask the Doubleday family if the paintings in their homes are prints or originals.The Catholic Museum in Washington DC owns a major work of the last supper called "The Morsel". Is that one a print also? If so it took ten years to complete. I was told the painting had too much "sheen and it wasn't on a canvas". The painting is an oil on board. Do they have a clue? They don't even know how to tell an oil painting from a print.

Suleika Jaouad and Anne Francey: The Alchemy of Blood Jun 22--Oct 6, 2024 The mother daughter art show . it was very touching to see this You can see the mother's art . She made it while she was pregnant with Suleika. And did the same show we see daughter Suleika living through her illness with leukemia. See the two women going through life and their wonderfully creative way. The ups and the uncertainties and pain, but all along and together. It really was beautiful . How wonderful the mother and introduced her daughter to the art of Frida Kahlo. A wonderful inspiration. it's wonderful how women can support each other and empower each other and so many ways. It really was beautiful to witness ! It's hard to say my favorite part of that particular exhibit. Maybe with Suleika and her dog laying in bed together. The beautiful comfortably get from pets and those around us. And the things around us like art and nature. Just having an appreciation for these things and finding comfort as much as possible. Being open to it. ~~~~ BIRTH WHEEL by Amy Johnquest I love the wheel of fortune Birth wheel. It was also interesting to see the other options available to other spinners. The life that we were born into by the people that we are born from... Or adopted by. the wheel of life and see what life gives you. Let me say that it was wonderful to be at this museum. As soon as I came in, I felt very welcome from the attendant. I enjoyed the gift shop Upstairs I could see that there is an opportunity to have a weekly evening drawing event. I can see there was a pig figure... And the results of a previous event to draw this pig . And it's obvious that people sat different positions around the pig. I enjoyed seeing all angles. All the different charming styles by local people who happen to attend. What is delightful place. So much so , I can't wait to come back !!

I visited the Michener Art Museum a few weeks ago on a Saturday when my husband and I were in…read moreDoylestown. It was my first visit, and I really loved it. The Michener isn't huge, but it's a lovely museum. It's located inside a historic 19th century prison building, which sounds like it wouldn't be beautiful - but it is beautiful: stone walls, an arched entry, a courtyard. It's named for the novelist and Doylestown resident James A. Michener, who established the endowment for the museum and donated significant funds and some paintings from his private collection to the museum, which opened in 1988. As a regional art museum, it collects both historic and contemporary American works, with a focus on the art of the Delaware Valley. Its permanent collection includes nearly 4,000 artworks, including works by famous Pennsylvanian artists. I happen to love Wharton Esherick and George Nakashima and was thrilled to see their work in the museum! I wish we'd had more time so that I can could read for a bit in the Nakashima Reading Room - don't miss it. The museum also has a small outdoor sculpture garden, a small gift shop, and a little cafe if you need a coffee. And on top of all that, their staff are friendly and helpful AND they have great exhibits! We visited for an exhibit currently at the museum - "Anila Quayyum Agha: interwoven" (I had seen her work at a gallery in Houston about a decade ago and was thrilled to find another opportunity to see her work) - but really enjoyed their permanent collection as well. A small but charming and regional art museum with an impressive and unique permanent collection and great exhibits. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

Built on the site of the inhumane Bucks County Jail, not only is the art museum diverse, the grounds are fascinating. Before entering, you'll see sculptures and an imposing stone wall -- the site of the last man hanged in Bucks County. Exhibits are on one beautifully-designed level. Most of the artists and/or subjects celebrate the creativity of the region: paintings, sculptures, works that could be called "installations." With the exception of the Mona Lisa (and a few other pieces) I'm not a fan of Renaissance or religious art. Works here span the 1800s to present -- a lot of contemporary -- which may be why I soaked in everything I saw. Doylestown isn't as well known as New Hope ... but, what a charming town with beautiful old homes and good shopping. After going through the museum -- it takes an hour or so -- you may want to walk to Main Street and enjoy a coffee or spot of lunch. We lucked out and inadvertently timed our visit on the same day as Doyletown's popular art show. A stellar afternoon!

The Pottery Zone used to be in Washington, NJ but has since moved into a bigger studio in…read morePhillipsburg and has become more inclusive to just pottery making. You can also make jewlery and take wheel, drawing, etc classes. It has become a large art studio! But the paint-your-own pottery is still the focus! I love the woman who owns the place (can't remember her name). She is soooo friendly and helpful! This is a pay-per-piece studio where you pay for your piece plus a standard studio fee and you can take as much time as you need! If you want to come back and finish your piece, that's not a problem! You are provided a color chart (so you will see what the glazed colors come out as) and some magazines for inspiration. There is also stencils and sponges available. Last time we were there, she found a picture of something online and printed it out for someone to trace onto their piece! So helpful! She also takes the time to explain how colors will change when the piece is fired and which brushes to use, etc. This is great for beginners! At the same time, my friend and I are recognized by the owner now, so when we come in she is still helpful but also understands that we know the basics. She is always available if we have any questions though. She is also friendly in general to just chat with. The pieces are fired and can be picked up in a week. Every piece I've done with this studio has come out great! The quality of the pieces (most are made right there) and the firing is excellent! If you're looking for a fun group activity, definitely do this! On Friday nights, you can reserve a "ladies night" and it's byob!
