Chicago Artists Month is so fabulous. It is amazing the commitment this city has made to art. My son was a Gallery 37 kid, working with the renown Calvin Jones to paint a mural! Kyle Anderson's drawing is seen below (he's my other son, now taking his first college drawing class; the drawing below was produced a couple of years ago.)
This is a great city for art and artists.
I am really enjoying posting these shows. The Chicago Artists Month website has more listings, so check it out, too. Did I tell you I am on the Advisory Committee?
I am also excited because I have work going to Liberia tomorrow. So that makes me an international artist, right? I have prospects for another international exposure.
Will let you know. (the painting below, left, is going along with one other.)
