My Art Mother

Ethel Katz art instructor at the Art Students League. My father called her my second mother. What I learned about loving art I learned from this lady. This picture was taken about 1940, painting plein aire on the rocks of New England somewhwere. I also included two of her paintings

Tomatoes you won't find in the garden

Being an artist means you can break the rules, so I did. If you find this too edgy, thats good, if you like it, then that is good too. So edgy my wife won't even let me hang this in the bathroom. Upset tummy, thats art.

This painting is dedicated to Ben a man who never took art lessons, but had great artistic taste.
