From Horses to Puppets


In highlighting artist Susan Rothenberg's work at the Modern Museum in Fort Worth, Texas Monthly remarks that "horses launched her career but she's since turned to dismembering puppets." Wow, talk about a style change. Do you suppose the puppets all look like one of Susan's ex-boyfriends? May have to check the exhibit out. I don't plan to bring any small children with me however. I don't think dismembered puppets is something they should see before junior high. I myself am experimenting with a much less radical change in my painting. I am adding a narrative panel to my portraits. I'll post one as soon as I get around to photographing them. In the meantime, please bide your time by watching the paint dry on this barn wall.
