Here Comes the Sun

Happy New Spring! A look back to the International Museum of Folk Art from Santa Fe for this delight. The works there are rich in motif, color, pattern, and yes, whimsy. I got in a short walk today, but didn't see any of these critters. It'll have to climb out of the 30s for that to happen. 
 

Never Too Much

The International Museum of Folk Art houses an enormous and eclectic collection of folk-art from around the world. Our field trip today's assignment was to gather 5 images for motif, with a selection of three to use in the week's printing class. Good luck choosing those 3.

Fighting Fowl

I hope I never see an actual cock fight. This one is just fine, though, and is in the Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe. The poses are perfect, as well as the jaunty hats.

From the Folk Art Musem in Santa Fe

A jar, probably Acoma, was on view in Santa Fe. Its form is so beautiful. Years ago I was fortunate to design cases for the Lewis Henry Morgan collection at the Rochester Museum and Science Center. I loved handling the collection, and seeing this jar, with exciting graphics, took me back.
