1214 Lowry Condo's/formerly Bremer School- North Mpls

Bremer school was built about 1870 in Mpls. on Lowry Ave No and Emerson Ave.

I find the architecture very interesting so I took photographs to refer to when painting this picture. While looking at my photos it seemed that the details I remembered of the top were missing, So I did some research and found the info I needed on the internet.
The building has been converted into condo's, and added to the National Register in the 1980's.
But unfortunitly stripped of some of it arhitectural detail.
This Painting reflects the way it appeared prior to 1940.

Vincent Van Gogh Gallery

The Vincent Van Gogh Gallery looks interesting, though I haven't had time to look at much of it.

Don't miss the Vincent Van Gogh video with music--it is fantastic! This and some other Powerpoint shows (pps) are listed under "Of Continuing Interest..." (Note: I think most of the other Powerpoint shows are mediocre.)

Flowers in Modern Art

I discovered this website while researching an artist.

Flowers have always been a popular art motif. An exhibition Flower Myth - van Gogh to Jeff Koons examined flowers in modern art. There are many paintings that one does not usually see.

It is not very obvious how to get from the description page to the paintings. The only link I could find on this page is "Temporary exhibitions (10)" so I drew an arrow to highlight the link. Once you get to a page of paintings there is more than one way to navigate the site, and most of the small images can be enlarged by clicking on them. You can also take a virtual tour of some of the art by clicking "Panoramic View" below the header image at the top of the page (both on the main page and the individual room pages). The "See the Tabloid" link is a convenient way of viewing a number of paintings on a page.
