STELLATION

April 1, 2020

"Wow , automatic art got such a nice response I'm  looking forward to seeing more art on pleinrein2020.blogspot.com.   That's  too much Pollicking , it's not to soon to stretch  in a much  more interesting direction. 


 New York Times style magazine  [ mar 22 ] has a very nice piece  on Frank Stella . So , does anybody want to do a Stellation . That is , do a painting that looks like a Stella ? Not mindless art ! "
