For this week’s Guess the Artist, I thought I would select a painting that has the lovey-dovey vibe going on (Reminder if you need it: Valentine’s Day is Wednesday). It’s AMAZING to me how this painting is so realistic on one side and so loosely painted on the other side – yet it blends so beautifully. This is one spectacular painting!

Most of you have read my remarks about the Detroit Institute of Arts. Mind blowing how stunning it is in every way. Their knowledge, creative display, and professionalism – I appreciate it so much. It’s the only way to keep these remarkable paintings intact over so many years. OK, the big question – can YOU guess who this artist is (signature has been altered to be unrecognizable).

Can you guess the artist? This might be an easy one for some of you. Another gorgeous painting I snapped a photo of with my phone - on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts! I highly recommend visiting – wear comfy shoes – no need to pack a lunch they have great eating places within the museum. So smart. They even have these cool stools that fold if you get tired and need to sit a minute. We walked for hours and hours. Had the best time. #cantwaittogoback

How many of you will be able to guess who this artist is? I love the looseness of the jacket in this painting, the abstract lines – the subtle shades of gray throughout.
