Washington, D.C.'s unique Renwick Gallery was the first building constructed in the United States specifically designed to be an art museum. James Renwick Jr., the architect who also designed St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, designed the D.C. building in 1859. #vacationlikeapro ( @jbano1)⠀

I'm delivering a big batch of these to the Renwick Museum Shop tomorrow morning.
I'm extremely proud of this body of work, which was made to compliment the #ginnyruffner and #michaelsherrill exhibits opening this summer. I've been swimming in flowers! These floral prcelain vases come in XL, L, M, and S. Thank you for supporting local artists @renwickgallery - I'm honored!

During our museum hopping in Washington D.C., Kimberly and I were lucky enough to find this small yet dramatic painting by Nicolai Fechin on display at the @smithsonian’s @renwickgallery.
It’s currently in their visible storage collection, meaning that all of the paintings are crowded together in glass cases, but there are some real gems to be found there.
What strikes me most about this painting is the consistency of paint texture throughout the piece. There is no deviation in the approach to painting the face vs. the body or even the background. "The artist must never forget that he is dealing with the entire canvas and not with any one section of it. Regardless of what he sets out to paint, the problem remains one and the same: with his own creative originality, he must fill in the canvas and make of it an organic whole." - Nicolai Fechin ______________________________________________________________ “Reading the Newspaper, the Artist’s Father" • Nicolai Fechin • 1916 • Oil on Canvas • 17"5/8 x 14"

2) Fechin makes no attempt to smooth out or stylize the face. He paints exactly what is before him in terms of lights, darks and colors.

3) The same applies to the hand. No over rendering is needed, as this would simply draw too much attention to it, and yet it reads perfectly as it grips the newspaper. Even with this lack of detail, we still get a sense of the years Ivan Fechin's hands have worked as a master wood craftsman.
Last year around this time I was getting ready to embark on a month long adventure from Texas to DC. I spent nearly a month traveling, visiting outdoor spaces, hiking, collecting memories, seeing museums and it was all because of great trip preplanning. You can accomplish great things when you simply make a plan and follow through. Dream BIG, Plan BIG and Live Life BIG!!
