A little stir crazy from some cold blustery Texas days. Where better to go for a little jaunt than the Irving Arts Center? They put on the nicest displays and it is free to stroll the galleries.
Rachel Black's oil painting are lovely. I felt as if I was in the various state parks she visited to paint nature scenes. Vibrant colors and nifty perspectives.
Sudeep Kumar - Invisible Spaces: Watercolors and Drawings. His urban works brought an old fashioned tone to modern day utilities and such. I liked his watercolors. Almost a sepia touch. Very subtle colors.
LeUyen Pham's illustrations are SO FUN. Huge variety of characters for various series. She worked at Dreamworks, then went on her own to award winning works. Over one hundred books (as an illustrator) bring joy to children. She's also written and illustrated her own stories. This whole gallery was delightful to peruse.
On the serious side, in honor of Black History Month, the center featured works from the Arthur Primas Collection. Charles White's work captured my eye. His etchings like
Cat's Cradle above are fantastic. He is deceased, but his works live on fortunately.
And a little humor as February comes to a close. Weather has been wacky!
No doubt March will throw us some curveballs too - Lion or lamb?
