Paper menus and the top of receipt from Versailles Restaurant...just because I don’t have my own photos of the real place, lol.
I originally posted this May, 2011. Most of this still holds true. I’m reposting here because it was one of my most popular blog posts. Andy and I recommend Versailles Restaurant to everyone. I never did the bike rentals at Versailles, France. If you have the chance to take any organized workshop by Cynthia Morris, do it. Her online courses are good, too. I was in Paris, France for four weeks. I was always entertained, sketched everywhere, loved it, soaked up design. I went to bed so drunk on art that my mind spinned all night long. It was a wonderful time. I returned home because of Andy and my mom...because I wanted to figure out a way to stay longer. Without further ado, here’s the original post:
My life in Miami, Florida already includes a Versailles. It is not the palace in Paris, France, but THE Cuban food (palace?) restaurant in town. When Mama and I want a good meal that is bueno, bonito, y barato (good, pretty, and cheap), we visit Versailles. We know we are going to enjoy comfort and an interestingly diverse crowd of people.
The real Versailles in France has been visited much more than the restaurant, but not by me. The first visit was in 1987 and the second was 1992. Am now learning that what tourists see of Versailles is but a small fraction of delights to see and experience.
Just another reason to spend FOUR weeks in Paris, France: to be at Versailles for an entire day of exploration that tourists do not get. A day of drawing, walking, and collecting patterns off the palace's wallpaper walls! Here's the quick list of what I learned:
1. There are cafes on the grounds for rest and food.
2. Tickets can be bought outside of Versailles so you can save yourself a very long line to get one.
3. Bike rentals are available to view the gardens.
4. The garden's water fountains have shows during the summer, through September and October.
5. The website for Versailles if chock full of goodies or buy a book upon arrival for a self guided tour.
How did I learn these things about Versailles? Cynthia Morris of the Curious Excursion spent a bit of time putting together a guide for those of joining her adventure. When that much effort is made, I pay attention. One of Cynthia's tidbits was of her friend Heather's Secrets of Paris website. Super site, and got the freebie guide on Versailles that helped with this Fridays in France post.

NOTE: This review was originally published in 2010. Photos were used with permission from Magnan Metz Gallery. Documentation of permission is available upon request.
This article is being republished on May 9th, which is the anniversary of Raul’s “el malo’s” death. Why? To remember Raul’s older brother, the older brother who only wanted the best and tried his best for his siblings before he was forced to escape Cuba.
This is a review of the exhibit Raul Martinez Eagerly Awaiting that was held July 22 through August 20, 2010 at the Magnan Metz Gallery in New York City’s Chelsea District. The opinions and views of this review belong to Angeline and solely express her opinions.
When you walk into the Magnan Metz Gallery, you are greeted a large open space and a friendly reception. A large open window lets natural light into the gallery. The art, as it should be, is the major focus of the gallery. At this time, the exhibit was Raul Martinez Eagerly Awaiting.
1970s

When you walk into the Magnan Metz Gallery, you are greeted a large open space and a friendly reception. A large open window lets natural light into the gallery. The art, as it should be, is the major focus of the gallery. At this time, the exhibit was Raul Martinez Eagerly Awaiting.
1970s
1970s
The first art works by Raul Martinez that are seen inside the gallery were created in the 1970s. Cuba was entering its second decade under the communist regime. The colors are bright, strong, and solid. Each drawing is outlined in black on paperboard and then painted in with no shadows. The works of art are beautifully framed in modern clean black frames. The theme of the exhibit is Cuba: its leaders, people, perception of world events, and “social themes.” The art is strongly influenced by pop art as seen through the use of repetition.
1980s
1980s
1980s
Romeo y Julieta is the art work seen from the street when looking into the gallery. It is a darker piece than Raul Martinez’s pop art style from the 1970s, with darker secondary colors of oranges. It makes a seamless transition to the themes Raul Martinez is known for: Jose Marti and Che Guevara. Both I Have Seen with Jose Marti and Che have a darker feel than Raul’s previous art. Che is dated 1985, while I Have Seen remains undated. The creation dates may be similar because of the use of black lines and areas, reds, block-style shadowed facial features, and the designs around each of the figures. They are still a style of pop art, but more serious than the art from the 1970s.
The next division of the gallery occurs along the same wall that has the pop art from the 1970s. Raul Martinez’s charcoal on canvas Hambriento Espero (Eagerly Awaiting) and abstract painting Hay Que Saber (We Have to Know) transition the exhibit from the pop art style to the more abstract and collage pieces found in the next formal section of the gallery. There are abstract paintings from the 1960s and the 1990s followed by collages from the 1990s. The 1960s abstracts are full of textures and subtle shapes. The 1990s abstracts paintings are full of reds, blues, oranges, yellows, blacks and lines, squiggles, and bursts of energy. The collages consist of pastels, transparency sheets, torn pages, transfers, photos, paint, and other items. Upon exiting this section, one realizes there are photographs by Raul Martinez in the office area.
Hambriento Espero is the black and white canvas.

The photographs by Raul Martinez seem disconnected to the rest of the exhibit. The photographs can be dismissed at first because they do not seem to belong to the rest of the exhibit because of where they were displayed in the gallery. The first set is behind the reception desk: three photographs with painted designs and one large black and white photograph. The most striking photograph is the one unpainted, of a boy staring into the camera titled You (Ustedes). This is also the only photograph with a date at all, of 1960. The second set of photographs is found in the office area, past a 1960s abstract painting. These photographs commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution in which Raul Martinez highlighted the Cuban flag with color on otherwise black and white prints.
Because there were no labels, posters, etc., a small binder with thumbnail images and data was made available at the reception desk. Some title translations seemed clumsy, for example, the direct translation of Hambiento Espero is better as Hungrily Waiting. Admittedly, the translation of Eagerly Awaiting makes for a better exhibit title.
Without some background in Cuban history and actual experience of the communist regime, most of Raul Martinez’s paintings seem without focus. However, the flow of the exhibit Raul Martinez Hambriento Espero matches the light and space of the gallery: easy to navigate and delicately guided. Most visitors left Magnan Metz Gallery with the impression of Raul Martinez as a Cuban artist who created mostly pop art during this Cuban Revolution. Special thanks to Magnan Metz Gallery bridging the cultures as President Obama slowly opens relations with Cuba.

If you made it until here, what do you think about my attempt at an exhibit review? If you followed the links, what do you think Raul Martinez really means in some of his paintings?
2021 UPDATE:
How many things have changed for me in ten years, concerning Raul Martinez. I don’t feel much of a connection to this artist anymore...for many personal reasons. If I ever stumble upon a work by Raul Martinez, I’ll be interested in learning more about it. But, I don’t believe I’ll travel so far to see any exhibit of his paintings ever again. It’s almost like visiting Cuba: can’t miss where I’ve Never been...can’t miss who I’ve Never met. I really have no reason to seek more Raul Martinez, and don’t really have a reason to visit Cuba anymore, too. I’m moving on….

My palette of acrylic paints for a dog and a cat painting.
Most artists will advise you to organize your colors around your palette. I’ve tried. I just make a huge mess.
Why bother?
I lay out my colors as I need them. I keep the paints fresh between time blocks with sprayed water and plastic.
Can you tell which colors are used the most during this painting time? Your hint is to look at the size of the colors, lol.

Fire and Damage," 2010, encaustic techniques on board, ~8 x 8 inches. $105 Art inspired by photos of the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Crisis.
Originally published May 12th, 2010.
Writing in an earlier blog post about how strict nuclear power is because of past human error events, I have since learned how the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill may affect nuclear power plants. Because some nuclear plants use existing and natural water systems as cooling systems, this oil spill may threaten the canal and wetlands that help nuclear power plants run (specifically thinking of those in Florida, Louisiana, etc.). The existing water intake designs are not made to handle crude oil intruding into them. More water cleaning to do because of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
If you followed the Senate hearings yesterday [May 11th, 2010], the gist was to improve standards of the oil rigs, industry etc. The added regulation would help the oil industry prevent and detect more often than correct (to loosely borrow a work line)!!! Maybe the governing entities would force preventive equipment maintenance!
Interesting link: Another player in the clean up is the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Visit the Center's Web site at www.marinelife.org.
Update for 2021:
I’ve no idea if the standards for oil rigs and industry have improved for the environment, but I do believe there’s been oil leaks since this one happened.
This is the last of the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill series of blog posts I’m updating and resharing. I chose the three blog posts because they had really high views. There are more paintings in the collection, as well as more blog posts over in my old Blogger, if you’re interested.

As mentioned, most of my art is made while on-the-run. In Paris, I ran around with a heavy bag full of markers. Ridiculous!
At home, my supplies changed a wee bit. The first change was the size of my colors. Here is a quickie on how I made my current favorite watercolor paint set (otherwise known as palette). It is so small, it fits easily into my jeans or shirt pockets. It weighs almost nothing at all. The colors are juicy. If the case breaks, clear tape works fine to hold it together until I find another nicely sized eye shadow color set.

The Dollar Tree is a wonderful place. Score!
Step 1: Find a nice eyeshadow set. This is super when you want to recycle...let me have your old sets, please!!!!
Step 2: Soak in water, overnight.
Step 3: Dig out eyeshadow with any handle tool such as a paper clip, fork, etc. May need to repeat step 2.
Step 4: When all spaces are clean, pour from the tube of watercolor into the place wanted for that color. Do under fill.
Step 5: Allow to completely dry.
Step 6: Enjoy while on the run!!!!!

Thin, light case, places for 12 colors. Perfect!
Soaking in water.
If you wish to know how to make an "official" watercolor palette for yourself, this is a great source: Artists' Journal Workshop: Making Your Own Pan Paints: 'via Blog this'. Cathy Johnson also mentions why manufacturing companies of watercolor tube paints dislike artists making these palettes. I agree with Cathy - the paint works wonderfully when re-wet. The re-wet paint works better than the stay- dry-until-use paint, to me!
Feel free to let me know what you did for colors on the go! Would love to know what your favorite on-the-run creative tools you use for drawing, writing, etc. Please share with a comment or an email to me: angeline@angelinemarie.net

The well loved travel paints on the right with a recently filled sketchbook.
2021 update:
I still love using this travel paint set. I still love this size sketchbook. The major change is that I use a Pilot Decimo fountain pen instead of the fine line pen and pencil shown in this last photo. I’ve lost track how many times I’ve refilled the set. It now has clear tape on the lid to help hold the crack from spreading. Overall, yep, still works for me!
Also, Cathy Johson mentioned here can still be found sketching and painting!

Sadly, scientists have figured out that the radio bursts from the Milky Way Galaxy are from a burping dead star.

Oh, for the years I’d DROOOOOOOL to have a massive music collection of records!
I LOVE and MISS record album art. The 12 by 12 inch covers were pieces of art, from paintings to photographs.
There was a time I had to pick between the purple or green album covers for RunDMC and then never could decide so never bought it! The time I giggled to the cash register of Record Land with my new Poison album with the newly censored cover but I was getting the original cover without the black outs above and below the face’s eyes! I never got the Bon Jovi banned cover…but that’s ok, lol. I’d read the liner notes, super happy when the lyrics where printed like for Prince’s Purple Rain. Oh, I had to hide my second copy of Purple Rain, as my mom insisted on buying me something else to replace Prince because she didn’t want me listening to it. At least she replaced it…but I still played and played Prince since she had no idea what I was playing, anyway.
Now in days, I don’t buy records. I don’t even buy CDs. It’s really sad…because streaming music is what most of us do, now. My collections gather dust…and many of the artists I still love are forgotten on streaming services, too. The group called Archive of Contemporary Music keeps collecting music to archive it. Now, this group is looking for a new home for their vinyl, music sheets, autographed items, historical items, you name it.
I’ll stick to my smaller collection of about 200 records, maybe 300 CDs, as it’s easier to manage. Plus, it's great to ask Alexa to be my mix tape in my studio.
These 3 million records would prefer a home in New York City. The board of directors, that includes donors, is quite the list of rock and roll personalities. You have to check it out, here: https://artdaily.cc/news/119776/Wanted--A-home-for-3-million-records#.XhMfN0dKhaQ

Simon loved to jump into my armoire full of records. He didn’t have front claws, so his “sharpening his claws” movements didn’t scare me. How I miss my little studio cat!!!! Photo taken sometime 2017-2019.

Before enjoying the paintings in this article, Kitchen Inspiration from Art History, I was aware how kitchens have evolved over time. Kitchens moved from outdoors to indoors, then from the edges of the house to the middle of the house. To really see how kitchens have changed, the link has some awesome paintings.
In our home, Andy is Chef. He's the one that makes scrumptious meals. I clean the kitchen. It works very well for us as I barely read recipes and he makes one-offs.
Check out some of the kitchens in art, here, and also let me know which is your favorite. Mine, I believe is a tie between Edouard Pingret, Cocina Poblana and Liza Lou, Kitchen, just for colors not so much functionality, lol! To choose one, click over to Kitchen Inspiration from Art History.
Oh! Question for you, all! Why is it when I watch a home show, it's the woman who squeals with delight over the kitchen makeover, or the kitchen makeover is mandatory, or the kitchen is the deal breaker? I can remember only a single man wanting the kitchen made over and that's because he was a stay-at-home with two small children. Why not the men? Aren't kitchens essential? Also, then why are top chefs mostly men if the home kitchen doesn't seem to matter to most men?
Bird with Pumpkin, Grapes, Basket, 23 by 30 inches, acrylics on paper, available for $450, not framed, SH $25 for rolled in tube. Items are from my studio stash of stuff for still lives, lol, not necessarily from our kitchen.

The first ever drawing book was published in 1608 by Italian painter and printmaker Odoardo Fialetti.
For the first time, anyone could learn how to draw at home.
I wonder who is accredited with the first ever online drawing class? Yes, I Googled, but couldn’t find who has that credit.
