âWhy does anyone buy Naples Yellow when you can make it?â
I heard Wilber Blair complain about this nearly every painting class for years and I smile every time I mix âNaples Yellowâ in my studio now⌠Quiet in demeanor. Soft spoken. Deep voice. Thin, and wiry. The wheels were always turning. Will could jump into any classroom conversation with an intellect that gave you pause. Then suddenly he was off and at a studentâs side since he was always aware ofâŚ
Picture This!
I was honored to have two pieces chosen for Picture This! at the Danforth Museum of Artâs second annual juried exhibition showcasing new and original artwork created by picture book illustrators. Selected works will be exhibited in the Childrenâs Gallery, from September 9 - November 4, 2012. It is a must-see! And when you go, notice how all the art is hung eye level for our audience, the kids!
At the opening, I had the opportunity to meet my fellow illustrators and the juror, Carol Goldenberg, an award winning children's book designer. The Danforth Museum is such a special place. I was especially pleased to have been included again this year.
As it was also the Jewish New Year, the Danforth had my Rosh Hashanah book, Even Higher for sale. Because of that I was able to meet Doreen Smith, a Danforth docent and wonderful woman. Here we were talking about her 11 day old grand nephew for whom I was signing the book.
Below are the two pieces of art chosen for the show, each quite different from the other. I loved the juror's choices. There was such diversity in the whole show.

From the Christmas Tree Farm, (Holiday House, 2006) families pick their trees for the holidays.Â
My participation in last year's Picture This! resulted in my solo exhibition of The Story of Hanukkah original art. http://www.danforthmuseum.org/jillweber.html
Day 5: Shelby's review of Danforth Museum
Day 5: Alisa's review of Danforth Museum
On Friday, we went to the Danforth Museum and I enjoyed the experience. Even though there are not much art pieces in this museum, we got to see the âBehind the scenesâ of entering art to a museum and how the museum communicate with artist who lives far away. The guide told us that they do this digitally meaning artist would take pictures of their art piece and send them to the person who is choosing the art pieces. If an artistâs piece is chosen, they would mail it to the museum to have it set up. We also got to an art school and the what the rooms look like. We went into a dark room, a loom room, and a room just for kilns. We did see some art pieces in the museum and lots of the acrylic and oil paintings stood out to me. I really liked childrenâs room where the gallery showed artistâs work that are mainly directed towards children. All of the drawings and paintings are on cardboard trees and they were all colorful and had cartoons. I was told that these drawings and paintings were all included in childrenâs books. There is nothing I dislike about this museum except the fact that it should be expanded.

Day 5: Melissa's review of Danforth Museum
At the Danforth we were able to get a tour of some different parts of the building. We saw some storage space, a dark room, the classrooms, and the basement where they made pottery. We got a better idea of what it's like to run a museum. Our tour guide told us about part of the process that happens when museums pick out pieces of work and how they choose to arrange them. I thought it was interesting to hear about that process. Though it was small, the Danforth had a few good pieces of art. One of my favorites was a collection of wooden trees that were painted by children's illustrators. I thought those were cute and well done. I also enjoyed a textile sculpture that was painted with ink so that the fabric resembled rocks. I also enjoyed some of the photography and paintings that were up. My favorite photographs were of these fish and the coloring was really nice.
Day 5: Maddie's review of Danforth Museum
The Danforth museum was a very small one, but they had a lot of different art. I thought it was cool how almost every picture, painting, etc., was done by a different artist. But, they all related to one another and had similar themes. One of my favorite pictures was done by the artist Pelle Cass and was called Quincy Market. I like that picture because of how the people walking match the shapes of the bricks on the patio. It looks as if it was planned that way or something. I donât know if it was or not but I think itâd be more cool if it wasnât. I think itâd be cooler that way because then it shows how maybe people tend to walk along the patterns in the ground or something like that. This picture also related to many others in the room with the theme of geometric shapes. There were a lot of other cool pictures along with this one, but this one struck my eye a little more than the others. Â
The Boston Printmakers 2011 North American Print Biennial is on view at the Danforth Museum of Art in Framingham, MA from February 27 through May 1, 2011. Juried by Jim Dine, the exhibition is a selection of 149 prints by 105 artists from 2064 entries and focuses on prints created in the âtraditional print processesâ of lithography, woodcut, linocut, etc as well as âexperimental mediaâ like digital and collage. Suzanne Hodes, a Corporate Lending Artist for more than fifteen years, has been awarded the Materials Award from Savior-Faire/Charbonell (Novator, CA) for her monoprint, Hemlock in the Woods. Martha Jane Bradfordâs innovative, digital-drawing work is also included in this exhibition in addition to our Corporate Collection. These pieces, among many others, can be viewed at the Danforthâs first floor galleries.
