Yeah, for self taught artists! Lee Godie (1908-1994) came to art in one of the later chapters of her life. Yet she became a fixture of the Chicago art scene for 30+ years. She was a photographer, mostly self portraits. And she painted portraits of people she liked & only sold her art to people she liked.
How do you like your art?
Do you like big images?
Do you like bold colors?
Do you like unusual media?
Then check out Jeremy Arnold's exhibit at the Price Tower. He has filled the space with big canvases of cowboys, buffalo & skulls. And along with plain old acrylic paint he uses spray paint & crude oil.
This fun exhibit "Roaming Bones" is up through August 22.

Artist, Faith Ringgold was featured on CBS Sunday Morning a couple of weeks ago. I first discovered her work in the 1990's, and was immediately jealous. Why? Because she was combining two of my favorite art forms: painting & quilting. She paints the canvas with acrylics and then quilts it, and then adds words. She calls her work Story Quilts. She is still working in her 90's.
