Summer Suite 2026

 

Bodo Stolzenberger

Bodo’s annual group show keeps getting better and better,

as do Bodo’s own gritty drawings. 

Things are getting under control.

Decades of daily practice is a good thing.

Paula Herrera

Paula is famous for cats and mythical figures,

but these realistic portraits surprised me,

so strong and sensitive

Especially this one of Nono,

with poem attached.

A soulful portrait of an unusual woman, who,

like Paula, comes from another part  of the world.

I do like cats….. but… can there be too many?

Mary Klug

Mary Klug

I totally agree that robins are a serious problem when nesting in your hair.

A fine update on Edvard  Munch

who had far less reason to be screaming

(Mary showed the same piece last year, but that’s OK. I like it.)

Cindy Hilliard 

Cindy Hilliard, watercolor

A member new to Chicago.

Do we need someone to teach watercolor? 

She’s good,

and she draws a fine figure, too.

Mary Palmer, Chicago Transit Rider

Looks like this guy never gets off the train

Mark Huddle, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel

Was it really a steel cage match?

Mark Huddle

Urban rhythms.

Joan Stachnik , Herrerasaurus

(presumably, no relation to Paula)

drawing some of the world’s oldest models 

 at the Field Museum
