For over fifty years I associated that any painting about Tahitian women and orange color was probably done by Paul Gauguin. Now that I am taking a class in the history of modern art, I've modified my notion. Before Gauguin made his first trip to Tahiti in 1891, the orange color can be seen in some of his paintings such as his self portraits and The Yellow Christ. It is during that first trip to Tahiti that orange becomes so prominent in his work – in the background or the skin tones of the women
This blog was set up as a requirement for the digital photography class I took in 2009 at St. Louis Community College. The blog is linked to a photo storage site where the class assignments were posted. I immediately liked having a blog and started posting. I have taken film classes and posted some papers I wrote about films. In 2013 the web site Digital Media Journey was built. I have lately been taking art history classes. The image of the windmill below will link to my web site.
