James V. Freeman, “Curious Observations”, Museum of Art – DeLand
In a couple of weeks my solo exhibition at the Museum of Art – DeLand in Florida opens. There is a lot of newer work that hasn’t yet seen the light of day, and I am excited to finally showcase these paintings in public view. Given the re-pandemic and health risks in holding a densely packed event, there will be no opening or closing reception. But the museum will be open to the public for the duration of this show. If civilization behaves and this thing subsides, I may be scheduled to give an artist lecture or walk&talk this Fall. It’s about time I posted something about the “art” in the “deeply examined intellectual lifestyle” phrase on this blog – way overdue. Pictured below is an iPhone photo of one of my favorite smaller works in this show, “My Private Reserve Stash”, sitting on the easel just after completion. It captured the feel of the painting better than even the professional giclee scan did.
