What do you get for the person who has everything? Or who doesn’t want anymore “stuff”? The gift of a creative experience! And, this year, we’ve made it extra easy for you to give the gift of art by purchasing an Art League gift card online! They can be used for everything offered at The Art League — classes, art from the Gallery, supplies from the store, annual memberships, and more.
You can always purchase a gift card in person in the Gallery, too!
More and more museums are putting their collections online, but wading through those collections isn’t always fun. Tiny or missing images, dead-end searches, and other flaws often (but notalways) make for a less-than-rewarding experience.
Enter the Google Cultural Institute. We recently found out about this nifty resource, and have been having a lot of fun with it (as you can see from the gif above). Instead of paging through a database, the experience is more like being in a museum: you explore instead of searching. You can even walk around some museums virtually, similar to Google Street View.
In another way, it’s even better than being in a museum. You can zoom way, way in on most of the images. You can jump from museum to museum without being limited to one collection. And you can build and curate your own collections.
But instead of reading more about it, maybe you’d rather start exploring. Here are a few great places to start:
Horse #17, mixed media, by Meg MacKenzie. Winner of the Eleanor Boudreau Jordan Award for Best in Show (small works).
You’ve seen the Best in Show from the “mini” (large works) portion of “MINI max.” Today we’re sharing our conversation with mixed-media artist Meg MacKenzie, whose painting above was selected as Best in Show among the small works.
It’s titled Horse #17, but the artist has painted far more than 17 horses:
Can you describe the series that Horse #17 is part of?
Meg MacKenzie: Struggling to name my horse paintings, I decided to number the paintings that contain a single horse. I am up to Horse #30.
Why horses? What keeps you coming back to that subject?
Around 10 years old, my family was going to the beach on the Mediterranean. Along the sandy path from the parking lot to the beach, a man was leading his white pony toward the water. I ran ahead up to him to pet his pony. Although the man did not speak much English or I Italian, he lifted me up and set me astride his bareback pony. I was beyond belief. And sold on my love of the horse.
I started drawing horses. For Christmas and birthday presents I would ask for ceramic horses found in gift shops. I would arrange them and sketch them in imaginary landscapes.
His Majesty by Meg MacKenzie
Around 15 years old, I discovered art class in school as an elective and fell in love with the different media possibilities. But raised in a military family, my father did not believe in art as a legitimate living wage. I did not really know what direction I wanted to pursue in life. I tried history, math, Russian language, and finance. After meandering through a career as a business manager with a defense contractor, I eventually stayed home to raise my two sons.
A friend of mine was starting to teach an acrylic course which I eagerly decided to take for a year. Then, in 2000, another friend asked if I would be interested in watercolor classes we could both attend and carpool together to at The Art League.
I received much encouragement and kudos with my work. I started entering shows and professional art groups. Then, during one abstract art class, I started seeing horse images in the abstractions and was possessed. For the last few years, I have dedicated my artwork towards celebrating the majestic power and beauty of the horse.
Scott Ver 7, watercolor, by Meg MacKenzie
Why are you a painter? What different media do you paint with?
I love the process of creating an image. I use mixed water media and collage.
What’s your creative process like, from an idea to a completed painting? How do you arrive at your color choices?
I usually throw paint on a surface, willy nilly. I may end up with several layers of transparent paint before I see my image emerge, e.g. a horse.
I literally throw color on paper. (See Ralph Steadman, For No Good Reason.) Maybe I see a horse initially or I continue to layer colors and collage. My color choice depends on my mood, maybe inspired by something I’ve just noticed, like the color of my viburnum today.
How do you know when one is finished?
I usually set the painting aside in a location I can glimpse at occasionally. I have unframed paintings that I had thought complete to add something extra!
Do you listen to music while you work? What kind?
Yes. Anything from bagpipes to rap … no classical, though.

Eating the Cake, oil on panel, by Beverly Ryan. Awarded the Cora Rupp Memorial Award for Best in Show – large works. (click for full size)
As an Art League instructor, Torpedo Factory Artist, and now a student again, Beverly Ryan has a lot going on right now. But she still found time to tell us a little bit about her creative process — and the painting above, which was Best in Show for the “mini” (large works) portion of “Mini MAX.”
What was your goal with “Eating the Cake”?
Beverly Ryan: This painting developed out of a previous work called “Tower.” Both paintings make indirect references to environmental issues — drilling for and using fossil fuels. Oil derricks figure in both works.
Tower by Beverly Ryan
Originally the intention was to make the wedding cake form more pronounced, but just one well-defined layer and a crown at the top survived the process. The active black strokes at the bottom again reference petroleum production — drilling, spills, splashing, chaos. The phrase “You can’t have your cake and eat it, too” provided my title. In my opinion, we are eating our environmental cake.
Why are you a painter? Why oil and encaustic specifically?
I have worked in several media, but when I found my way to paint, I knew I was “home.” The directness of painting is perfect for me as I work through evolving ideas. Oil paint and encaustic paint create rich surfaces and surface tension is important to my work.
Eating the Cake (detail) by Beverly Ryan
What is it like working on an MFA? How is it affecting your work?
I am enrolled in the low residence MFA program at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. So far, it has been a very challenging experience being a student again. The academics in the program are demanding. The experience has encouraged me to consider my studio work as research and to think of my process as collecting data. This attitude about the work appeals to me. The exposure to new artists and critiques from my professors has been eye-opening.
What’s your creative process like from an idea to a completed piece?
I work intuitively. There usually is a small germ of an idea that gets me started, but the paintings change as I work. I build, destroy and rebuild until it becomes “something.” I figure out how to make a painting as I paint it. I have learned to trust the process and have a dialogue with the painting.
Dandelion II, encaustic on panel, by Beverly Ryan
I am most happy creatively when this “conversation” with the forms, colors, lines, ideas leads me to new conclusions. I like to surprise myself. I like to end up in a new place every time.
What are you working on now?
Presently I have four directions developing. One is my ongoing longtime pursuit of rich abstracted forms. Another is the exploration of linear structures – webs. Another is soft sculpture canvas forms. The last includes imported images of drones in drawings and paintings that suggest maps, vectors, strikes, continents. It’s all research and the outcome is unknown. My job is to keep the faith and see where the process takes me.
Cabaret, oil, by Beverly Ryan (from the May 2015 exhibit, “The Influence of Fauvism”)
“Born uncompromising and creative, he finds his identity in being an artist – literally turning trash into treasure through his found-object (mostly industrial plastic) sculptures. The art world is approving of his creativity, but derisive about his choice of sculpting material, with several influencers suggesting he cast his works in bronze. Will taking this step amount to a loss of artistic authenticity?”
Washington Sculptors Group and the Washington Jewish Film Festival will be screening Plastic Man: The Artful Life of Jerry Ross Barrish along with a workshop on assemblage art, Tuesday, December 1. After the workshop and screening, there will be a Q&A with the film’s producer and its artist subject.
What happens when you fill an empty office building with hundreds of artists for a six-week, unjuried mass exhibit?
Artomatic is what happens. In other words, a mind-melting amount of artwork to look at, a little bit of chaos, and a lot to find and do. It’s open through December 12 in Hyattsville, MD, just a short walk from the New Carrollton Metro station.
Sculpture by Ara Laughlin
How it works
Artomatic has been around since 1999, returning every few years in a different place in the DC area. The concept is simple: it’s first come, first served to get a space for your artwork, installations, experiments, etc. Because sold artwork is required to stay up through December 12, you don’t have to worry about finding empty walls if you go toward the end of the exhibit.
If you’ve never been to an Artomatic before, here’s what we suggest:
Go on an evening or weekend — that’s when there will be more people and artists to say hello to. You’ll also be more likely to see a performance, demo, or screening (check the event calendar for info) and you can take advantage of the bar.
Start on the top floor and work your way down. With this much to see, you’ll need a system! You can grab a map when you enter, but good luck trying to find anything in particular. Aim for a balance between systematic movement and aimless wandering.
Take notes when you find an artist you like. They could be out of business cards, and you’ll want to remember them later, whether to buy something you saw or just to follow them on Facebook.
Ralph’s Ridiculous Paintings
What to see
Compared to the over 700 visual artists in Artomatic 2012, this year’s group of about 500 (not including performers) is slightly smaller. That’s relative, of course — it still took us two hours to run around and see everything, and that was without lingering for a second look, a drink, or a performance or film.
Regardless of size, Artomatic is still Artomatic. Because it’s unjuried, you’ll see a wide cross-section of what artists in DC do, including novice, emerging, and more established artists.
The office building space is not ideal for displaying artwork — somewhat cramped and dimly lit — but the artists do their best to work with it. It’s kind of cool seeing art installed in the mail room, cubicles, and even the stairwell.
Amy AndaAndrew ConanForeground: Paul Hrusa
You’ll see every medium you can think of. Painting and photography were both popular, but you’ll also find drawings, installations, furniture, mixed media, sculpture, fiber art, and prints. “Installations” includes a lot of interactive elements:
The Venting WallThe Studio by Jeffrey Dorfman and Leigh-Ann FriedelPlaya Art Tour (and detail), a huge two-player game
And “mixed-media” is a little bit of everything:
“Mind Music,” ink on player piano rolls, by Kate Smith-MorseFej Seckat, Radical Crafter“Dirty Laundry: A Life Exposed” by Howard Thomas Hay

We have three new exhibits this month at The Art League, including one that’s a bit different from our usual fare.
“Redefining the Picture Frame”
“Artistic Vision: Redefining the Picture Frame” is curated by frame restorer, gilder, and general expert William Adair. It’s all about the relationship artists have with the frames that support, protect, and enhance their artwork.
And it’s interactive, too! You can try gilding (or covering in gold leaf) this partially finished frame:
And what are these art supplies for? Well, you can gild and graffiti a special door for a project of William Adair’s. (More details on that later.)
Since it’s November, our other exhibit is celebrating large-scale work, small-scale work, and nothing in between. It’s called “Mini MAX,” and it’s incredible!
