Dear Everyone:

I get particularly thrilled by

encountering art that surrounds

the viewer.

French artist Jean Dubuffet

did such an installation in the early

1970's entitled Closerie Falbala

as seen in World of Interiors

March 2010.

This installation is an

architectural sculpture

made of concrete and marked by

graffitti-like lines of black

on white with blue and red areas.

Apparently the lines are created

by allowing in drawing the

pencil to wander in an automatic way.

The 3-D installation allows

the viewer to walk into it and through it.

There are large walls, different heights

to allow for seating and a central

antechamber structure.

Outside Paris it is available

for private viewings.

Hope that you enjoy this

glimpse of this important

artwork.

Helen.

Dear Everyone:

I returned to the same building

to capture more faces in the architecture.

I set out to capture a more 3D effect.

I think this worked with the best example

being facesinthearchitecture112010 -

one of the lion images.

I also think the composition of

facesinthearchitecture082010

is very strong.

Hope that you enjoy these

images.

Have a keep-trying-until-

you-get-it-right-kind-of-day.

Dear Everyone:

Two more images of stonework

on the same building as posted a

few days ago.

This figure looks like Neptune, the sea god,

however I am not certain.

Hope that you enjoy these

images.

Have a buckle-down-and-

catch-up kind of day.

Stone lion 2010

Stonelion2010

This folk art painting of a lion

in stone is based on my photos

from a day or so ago.

I enjoy using my own photos

as a photo reference for a

painting.

Hope that you enjoy this

image.

Have a plan-an-outing-to-

an-art-gallery kind of day.

Helen.

Dear Everyone:

I have always loved statues and stonework

featuring faces in the architecture.

Here are a few images I took yesterday.

Hope that you enjoy them.

Have a stay-inside-sheltered-

from-the-bitter-cold kind of day.
