Art-Throb™ -- Freeark Gallery
Art-Throb is the term I use to describe a great place, usually a little out-of-the-way, to enjoy an art experience. The Riverside Art Center houses the Freeark Gallery, an intimate venue that features area artists. Committed to the community, it recently completed a show of artwork, Opinion Pieces, by Ruth Freeark (yes, the gallery's namesake). That followed an exhibition of work by Riverside resident John Muntean, chemist/sculptor. His work is called Magic Angle Sculpture. Exhibits rotate on a regular basis so you can stop by often and find new adventures. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 1 pm to 5 pm and is located at 32 E. Quincy Rd., Riverside. The annual Riverside Art Center members show is being shown until Jan. 8, 2009, where a wide variety of work is on display. An open house is Friday evening, Dec 5, 2008.

Hello Everyone,
Fresh from the studio, Chocolate Marble Cake, was named for good reason. As you can see the white and chocolate in the cake itself. The marbling is reflected on the plate it sits on. Another marbling technique is on the top surface of the cake. Finally, marbled ribbons of "chocolate" create a cake topping. This chocolate ribbon was created separately from the painting and placed there. It actually stands out from the surface (see close ups online). It is drizzled with "white icing" to finish the effect.

Here is an idea for you to get the art work you have been wanting -- put it on your wish list and tell your favorite gift-giver all about it and where to get it.

And remember, all paintings are guaranteed (which means if the painting you select doesn't work for you when you get it in your home or business, please return it for a refund).

Marble Cake, The Pfister Hotel and Personal Delivery

Hello Everyone,
Fresh from the studio, Marble Cake, reflects its name in many ways. Yes, you can see the white and chocolate in the cake itself and it is also in the reflection. The marbleized top is most exciting to me because it is the result of a new technique. An acrylic medium is mixed with paint and spread on the top. More about the technique is explained online.

Art-Throb™ -- The Pfister Hotel
Art-Throb is the term I use when I discover a great place, usually a little out-of-the-way, to enjoy an art experience. I came across such as place this past weekend – the Pfister Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. First of all, the Pfister is a turn-of-the-century restored beauty in itself. But on top of that, it boosts the largest Victorian art collection of any hotel. There are more than 80 pieces. Guido Pfister, the hotel founder, collected the works from about 1860 until 1895 (the concierge tells me). Victorian art typically features pleasant scenes and idealized people and animals. Sometimes Greek or Roman themes are employed. beautiful. Victorian paintings reflect the optimism of the turn of century. The director of the Milwaukee Art Museum writes, “Dating generally from the years surround the hotel’s founding (1893), the art collection is an exceptional example of late Victorian taste in America.”
The paintings are located throughout the lobby, mezzanine and 7th floor meeting and banquet rooms. You are free to roam and view. The gift store sells a $10 guide which is worth the price. To get there, set your GPS to 424 E. Wisconsin Ave. I placed a couple of photos online.
Personal Delivery Just for You
Over the past art fair season or even before that, you may have seen a painting that you liked but, alas, did not take home. Well, here is a chance to get your painting – from now until the end of the year, I will personally deliver the painting to your house or have it shipped to you at no charge. And remember, all paintings are guaranteed.
Well, it is back to the studio for me. Incredibly, I am preparing for the 2009 art fair season already which means I am busy creating painting after painting to fill my booth next year. I hope to get the new works posted on the site soon.
Warmly,
Barbara Sistak Baur
