Guess who discovered that the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, FL is free on Mondays?!?
Now free entrance to a quality art collection is like Christmas morning to this Bird!
While I was in St. Petersburg, FL last weekend visiting friends, attending a figure drawing session, and learning how to belay climb on an interior rock wall (yes, it was amazing!!), I was told by a fellow artist that I should pop down for free day while on my way out of town. And you know your girl looooooves to museum so how could I resist?!
I loved the wall of spots by Yayoi Kusama and a few textured abstracts by Syd Solomon, along with some old photos including Frida Kahlo and her husband Diego Rivera in action as well as a young girl posing with an authentic Mexican sugar skull.
There was a fair collection of pre-Renaissance artwork as well. I was particularly impressed with the quality and precisionof some of the old wood sculptures.
And just a few more lovely and inspirational works from the collection….
