The infamous McDonalds M.
This structure and the many like it across the globe is a symbol that represents many things. It's not just a sign for McDonalds. To name a few; fast food, corporation, america, obesity, 1900's.
This M is modern art.

Now, I just need to hand stitch the binding done and add a label! Then it will be ready for the final picture! And then mailing!!! I used pebble quilting to tie the orange circles in with the quilt. I used a swirly quilting on the tealish areas to resemble wind through the sage brush. I quilted it quite heavily everywhere but the orange sections and the block wonky rectangle to give the areas some "puff". I hope you like it partner!
This quilt is out of my comfort zone, but I did like stretching myself, and love the way the final mugrug turned out!
A young artist from West Fargo whose works amaze me by its pure innocent darkness. Dramatic and emotional he does portraits and abstract works. He has been drawing people since the beginning of his art journey, guess he is passionate about human figure and form. Tyler says: “There’s beauty in everything you look at if you just take the time to really look, And everywhere I go, everyone I meet, I can find inspiration.” Beautiful words of the beautiful artist.
I think this was supposed to be a 1960s car, though I didn't get the information on it. The guy behind the car is apparently listening in on more information about it. I should try that myself the next time I get there.
Hannah (our granddaughter) is going to be two tomorrow! She's going to have a sister soon too!
Here she is after a breakfast of strawberries and yogurt, still evident on her face, painting a masterpiece.
Sorry about the blur . . . grandpa isn't so quick with the camera sometimes.
The work is 78x55x40 in. brushed bronze sculpture with black natural patina from the series "Double Mobius Strip", 2002 - ongoing. Mobius Strip series consist of pieces fabricated using different materials such as corten steel, stainless steel, combination of copper and bronze and leaded stained glass. All of them are large scale, up to 20 ft. tall.
Work statement:
Infinity (Mobius Strip) refers to several distinct concepts, linked to the idea of "without end" which arise in philosophy, mathematics, and theology. The sculpture is based on the Mobius strip, which is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. In this work I combine two Mobius strips together with common edges. The result is one double rich and fascinating 3D form, representing the idea of continuance, endless repetition of life...
Madonna
1958
Salvador Dalí (Spanish, 1904-1989)
Oil on canvas; 88 7/8 x 75 1/4 in. (225.7 x 191.1 cm)
Salvador Dalí became an official member of the Surrealist group in 1929, and even after he was expelled by its leader, André Breton, in 1941, his work continued to reflect the influence of Surrealist thought and methodology. Dalí's paintings feature intellectual puzzles and visual ambiguities, and his style is marked by superrealistic illusionism that is used to describe completely unrealistic, fanciful subjects. Madonna is one of several works Dalí made after 1941 that uses classical imagery as the basis for Surrealist invention. Here, he paints two different simultaneous subjects with a profusion of gray and pink dots: a Madonna and Child based on Raphael's Sistine Madonna (Gemäldegalerie, Dresden, after 1513), and a large ear, whose ridged interior surface is defined by the presence of these two figures. Each motif is designed to come into focus at a different distance. At close range, the painting looks completely abstract; from about six feet away, it reveals the Madonna and Child; and from fifty feet, it is what the artist called "the ear of an angel." To the left of the main images is a trompe-l'oeil detail of a red cherry suspended on a string from a torn and folded piece of paper; its shadow is cast onto another piece of paper bearing the signature of the artist.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection contains more than two million works of art from around the world. It opened its doors on February 20, 1872, housed in a building located at 681 Fifth Avenue in New York City. Under their guidance of John Taylor Johnston and George Palmer Putnam, the Met's holdings, initially consisting of a Roman stone sarcophagus and 174 mostly European paintings, quickly outgrew the available space. In 1873, occasioned by the Met's purchase of the Cesnola Collection of Cypriot antiquities, the museum decamped from Fifth Avenue and took up residence at the Douglas Mansion on West 14th Street. However, these new accommodations were temporary; after negotiations with the city of New York, the Met acquired land on the east side of Central Park, where it built its permanent home, a red-brick Gothic Revival stone "mausoleum" designed by American architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mold. As of 2006, the Met measures almost a quarter mile long and occupies more than two million square feet, more than 20 times the size of the original 1880 building.
In 2007, the Metropolitan Museum of Art was ranked #17 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1967. The interior was designated in 1977.
