WITHER OR NOT, WE GO

We may slosh through snow, and grouse
Avoid the blowing wind, by staying in the house
Wish we were down south, to skip winter time
in a climate, where each primate, is an artist of some kind
a scribbler or a fiddler, or a closet singer
a dancer or an actor, or a comic with a zinger
especially when we’re touched by, the Arctic’s icy finger...
So whither shall we flee?
From gallery to gallery
on the 15th of January
I think I’ve got it right, Friday the 15th is Gallery Night!

Again! I’ll sit at a table with our show, Adolph likes the couch in front of his balcony, Eli will be somewhere near his exhibit at the back of Artasia, and Joe Boblick, our guest artist, will host his reception in the revolving gallery.

I first met Joe Boblick about 25 years ago. Adolph was sick, so I taught his class at UWM, and one student’s painting startled me so, I remember it today. The subject was mundane, a kitchen sink (rather than everything but). The subject makes no difference, it’s how it was painted that counts. Joe used a few lines and forms and the white of the paper to create a three-dimensional world. He had a sharp eye for form, relationships, depth, for what’s going on visually. He’s still got that same eye. So slosh over to Rosenblatt Gallery with me to take a look!
