Donna Erickson: Toss the paintbrush, then just spatter and throw paint
On a recent trip to California to visit my cousin Ingrid and her family, I discovered what world-famous American abstract artist Jackson Pollock and 13-year-old, seventh-grader Audrey have in common. When the urge to paint and create calls, they grab their medium, spatter and throw it all over their canvas and then stand back in joyful amazement. Color is everywhere, shooting out in all directions! Pollack called his technique action painting. Audrey described hers as just plain fun.While Au [Read more]

Ask the bird folks: Housatonic heron makes indelible impression
The illustration you sent me is by far the best illustration anyone has ever sent to me. And just because it is the only illustration anyone has ever sent to me shouldn't take away from it. The image you drew was dead-on perfect. You wouldn't happen to be one of those courtroom illustrators, would you? If you aren't, perhaps you should think about becoming one. Your mystery bird not only was textbook in detail but it also had a sinister look, like it had just been hauled in for selling fake Role [Read more]

At the Modern Wing
Art DepartmentSeen from the Nichols Bridgeway, the pedestrian bridge that connects Millennium Park to the Art Institute’s new Modern Wing, the hard lines of Loop skyscrapers and the organic shapes of the park unite as if they had always been together. The view — the facades of Michigan Avenue’s older buildings, kids running around, the lake to the east — is incredible.At the museum end of the bridge, a new restaurant offers a taste of what is to come: museum as entertainment venue. A place where [Read more]

But I've killed cute fleeing bunnies to save native saplings (picture bobbing Peter Rabbit cotton tails in the crosshairs).

Zobel in a Heroic Time
Zobel in a Heroic TimeLifeWritten by Sightings / Alice Guillermo  Tuesday, 23 June 2009 23:24 Fernando Zobel, no doubt, was one of the leading lights of the modernist campaign. But, unlike the other modernists of his generation, he followed his own separate artistic career. Zobel, for instance, did not fall under the tutelage of Victorio Edades after his 1935 homecoming exhibit at the Philippine Columbian Club. Nor was he a member of the loose grouping of the Thirteen Moderns who mostly came f [Read more]

McGehee steps up for Brewers
“Spring training was my first extended period at second base,” said McGehee, 26, a 10th-round draft pick by the Cubs in 2003 out of Fresno State. “Some of the stuff came pretty quick, the ground balls and stuff. Some of the plays you can't work on until you're in that situation. It's more of thought process with guys on base with cut-offs and relays.” [Read more]

Down with the kids
Chris Cleave The Guardian, Saturday 20 June 2009 Recently, my wife has been getting her breasts out in public. Now don't get me wrong - my wife is a class act. She's a professional chef, speaks three languages, and has never worked in burlesque. She has nice shoes, plays air guitar, and has a master's in economics from the Sorbonne. But, weirdly, none of this has excused her from being a mammal. Ever since the birth of our third child last month, her primary function has been to deploy h [Read more]

Yet inasmuch as the Padres have agreed to pay Peavy a minimum of $52 million between 2010 and 2013, the domino effect of his addition to the disabled list is potentially profound. Peavy's contract is already burdensome and it could quickly resemble an albatross were the Padres on the hook for the full amount without benefit of their best pitcher taking the mound every fifth day.
