North Light Studios: March 2013

http://northlightstudios.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Art as I see it, from my window or in a museum. Wednesday, March 13, 2013. Among the Italians, with Bernini. It seems that every year, about half-way through, I lull. There is a huge gap in my blogs from about May to the end of the year. And this year, I didn't even start until March. Is it any wonder that my email used to be slacker a? While scrolling through favorite statuary, I came across. Close Up of Apollo and Daphne, from WTF ArtHistory. The Rape of Persephone, from When In Rome. We are caught in ...

North Light Studios: April 2014

http://northlightstudios.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Art as I see it, from my window or in a museum. Monday, April 28, 2014. Montmartre Cemetery, Paris, France. Tombs at the Monmartre Cemetery, picture from Ila Chateau. The tombs alone in this place are amazing, building up a miniature city of the dead, clearly protecting the bodies and souls of those who've gone before. There are beautiful plants and flowers, well-kept and beautified out of respect. Didsbury Monument, "Douleur". Death Sculpture, from BSU Eurospring 2011. I don't know the name of this scul...

North Light Studios: June 2012

http://northlightstudios.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Art as I see it, from my window or in a museum. Thursday, June 14, 2012. Springville Museum of Art. I’ve been holding off on this one, simply because I know it so well and could go on forever about it. But the Springville Museum of Art. Is one of the best museums I’ve ever been to. So why am I talking about it now? Because it’s director, Dr. Vern Swanson, is retiring this August. I’m both hopeful and fearful for whoever is taking his place, because he is seriously irreplaceable. As far as the curator, Dr...

North Light Studios: December 2014

http://northlightstudios.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Art as I see it, from my window or in a museum. Thursday, December 25, 2014. The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to travel to Pasadena. Yes, my husband had business there, but we turned it into a kind of busi-vaca-thing, because we all really felt the need to get out of town. After my husband met with the people he needed to, we were directed to the Huntington Library, which I had never heard of before. Why hadn't I heard of it? Diana, Close up. Directly...

North Light Studios: July 2013

http://northlightstudios.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Art as I see it, from my window or in a museum. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Among the Italians, with Giulio Monteverde. The Boy Columbus, from Wiki Commons. This next piece, called Il Pensiero which translates in English to. Angel of the Night, from Whispering Lion's Den. Angel of the Night. The title speaks for itself, and the simplicity and incredibly life-like and human nature of this carving revives once again the subtle tugging of our emotions. What is this angel looking at? It's a rare sculptor who can...

North Light Studios: May 2015

http://northlightstudios.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Art as I see it, from my window or in a museum. Tuesday, May 19, 2015. On the Subject of Angels. Halfway through the year and I finally decided how to theme the blog. Yeah, I'm sorry about being MIA; I'm even more unfocused than normal this year. So I'm sitting at my computer and thinking, "what the heck am I'm going to focus on? Since I don't know how to focus anymore, the answer came in a moment of non-focusing. I'm doing angels today. Why? Doesn't it look like she's looking right through you? There ar...

North Light Studios: September 2013

http://northlightstudios.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Art as I see it, from my window or in a museum. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Among the Italians, with Leonardo Bistolfi. Now that it's less than ninety degrees outside, I am feeling that I can bear sitting at the computer and doing some intellectual and fun stuff. For instance, talking about Leonardo Bistolfi, another fantastic sculptor born in Casale Monferrato in Piedmont in 1859. In 1876 he enrolled in an art academy in Milan before delving into full-time sculpture. Cemetery Relief in Milan. The last s...
