Patron of the Arts

I would like to be more of a patron of the arts, but to be honest, our current budget and my taste in art doesn’t quite match up. One of my favorite artists is William DeBilzan. I have admired his work for a long time. I love the bright colors and the long skinny figures. If we had an extra $10K burning a hole in our pocket, M and I decided we would like the one above titled “From Within”. The picture doesn’t do it justice. There were a few smaller pieces that maybe would have fit in the budget, but to be honest, some work just doesn’t translate into small. A lot of the power in this painting comes from the fact that it is larger than me. If only I could have purchased back when he didn’t have his own gallery in the plaza…
