Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs


Creating art, looking at art, watching shows about art and artists fills a good portion of my day. Hopefully you have something that fills your day with joy. Here are some great links for artists and art lovers. I hope you enjoy them.

nycartmap02-768x665Hyperallergic, an incredible art blog, says..."New York City has over 1,000 monuments across the five boroughs, and the new NYC Public Art Map and Guide plots them on an interactive map. The digital interface, recently launched by the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, is searchable by zip code and address, and includes both permanent and temporary installations." So here's a link to the site: http://bit.ly/2aLQ8Za




BasquiatWhile we're still in the the television dull drums I thought I'd provide a link to Widewalls.ch and their listing of some great art movies (even though they didn't mention Mr. Turner) Here's the link http://www.widewalls.ch/art-history-movies/Pollock




The Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/) ran a story on an unbelievable flea market find and what the couple did!! Here's the link http://bit.ly/2aOcCao
Maria A long-lost 500-year-old engraving by the German Renaissance master Albrecht Durer has been found on sale for a few euros in a French flea market.




And this interesting art tool is just to much fun not to mention. www.drawlucy  Its a new Camera Lucida. ( I have no financial interest)DRaw Lucy

So there you have it. If there's something you want to know about you can reach me at dkolberg@thewoventalepress.net. Until then:

Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs


After coming across this first link from the Google Cultural Institute, I thought I'd take a look at some interesting art this time.
The ultra definition in these works is incredible. Working with museums around the world, Google has used its Art Camera system to capture the finest details of artworks from their collection.

Next up is a unique way to work with color. And if you have the money, yeah I know I'm talking to artists, go here. If not enjoy the link

This past month I was sidelined from working for awhile so I had the time to explore and download a new library of art catalogs. Create your own library from this extensive list.

This article is a bit older but the voices in it are more than worth listening to. so enjoy what women artists have to say across a number of generations.


okay so I hope you have a pleasant rest of the month and of course remember
