| Painting by Christopher Childers, cherry table by my dad. |
Last weekend I did an accidental interpretation of a painting. Well, not so much an interpretation as noticing after the fact that the flowers complimented the painting. Is that like matching a painting to one's couch?
The painting was a gift from dear friends on my 40th birthday. Neighbor Chris Childers is the artist whose landscapes I adore. This painting depicts a frigid January evening at the intersection of 44th & Penn Avenues North, Minneapolis. Those familiar with the corner will recognize the Emily's Diner sign on the left and Jackie Ann's Beauty Salon on the right. His urban landscapes capture the feeling of the neighborhood.
Chris works out of his home studio and Traffic Zone Center for Visual Arts at 250 Third Avenue North, Minneapolis. Traffic Zone is having an open house Saturday, May 7th 2011 from 5:30-9:30 p.m. http://www.trafficzoneart.com/exhibitions/spring_open_2011/spring_2011.html
Contact me in the comments section if you'd like more information about Chris Childer's work.
This would fit nicely among the things at Art in Bloom. I've worked at 3 D'amico catered events since preview night so I've seen a lot of the art and flower groupings.
