It's #WorldGorillaDay! 🦍

Houston Chandler (American, 1914–2015) Gorilla, c.1946 Wood, 8 5/8 x 7 3/4 x 5 1/8 in. (21.9 x 19.7 x 13 cm) Saint Louis Art Museum 1124:2010

"'Gorilla' features smooth surfaces, abstracted forms, and a masklike face. These elements are evidence of Houston Chandler’s search for 'the simplicity that brings out the greatest line of expression.' Though the gorilla rests in a hunched pose, its muscular limbs, arranged in diagonals across its body, allude to its physical power."

I went to Saint Louis today. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the Art Museum. I might post some more later.

Wandering around St. Louis we happened upon the Flags of Valor display all lit up at night at the St. Louis Art Museum. I took this shot with the art museum in the background and absolutely love how the flag color pops in the watercolor. From their website, "Every service man and woman who has died in the War on Terror since September 11, 2001 will be remembered with an individual flag planted on Art Hill in St. Louis’ Forest Park. Each flag will be displayed chronologically and marked by a photograph and dog tag of the hero.

Texture on the current wip wasn't texturing so I did a thing. I really, really love this dress. Wanted to make it for a long time but couldn't find inspiration. Now I will texture it for couple months.
