THANK YOU!

Posted on by The Wandering Art Historian

THANK YOU to all those who joined me in the pumpkin patch at St. Luke’s UMC last week for a painting party.  I love seeing what happens when you make art supplies available to children… and adults!  Each pumpkin that left the patch that night was a true masterpiece.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended This is Not Reality: The Art of Rene Magritte in Mount Dora last week.  I had a lot of fun with all of you telling stories inspired by Magritte’s paintings.  It definitely helped to get me into the spirit of spooky season!

THANK YOU to all those who attended my fall classes with the Rollins Center for Lifelong Learning.  This is the last week of October classes and I am always a little sad when classes come to an end.  Not to worry though, I am hard at work on new classes for the spring!

Have you ever hit “like” on one of my posts? THANK YOU!
Do you follow my blog? THANK YOU!
Have you ever bought one of my paintings? THANK YOU!
Have you ever attended one of my events? THANK YOU!
Have you ever read one of my articles? THANK YOU!

I am so grateful to ALL of you for your support.

 

The blog will be on a brief hiatus while this art historian does a bit of wandering.  Everything will return to normal in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned!

I am writer and artist with a degree in art history who loves to talk to people about art. I have spent the last seven years building up The Wandering Art Historian “brand” as a way to connect with people who want to learn more about art. I give lectures and presentations and teach classes and host book club discussions with a creative or artistic connection. I also write about local artists, events, museums, and exhibitions to promote the arts in Central Florida. In 2021, I had a creative crisis. I struggled with authenticity in the art making process. I decided to make myself vulnerable and find out what a real, genuine Adrienne H. Lee artwork would look like. The process was challenging and emotional and revelatory. I learned that if necessity is the mother of invention, then authenticity is the mother of reinvention. I reinvented myself and learned an entirely new medium. The resulting artwork surprised me, and it will surprise you, too. Some people wish for a fairytale ending. For me, the fairy tale is only the beginning.
