Event #7 Fingerhut Gallery



The main artist this gallery was featuring was Dr. Seuss. They had original oil paintings and scultures for sale. I never knew Dr. Seuss was only a pen name for Theodor Seuss Geisel. His life story is interesting in how he created his characters by piecing together parts of animal bones that his father sent him. Sounds like something my father would do. He used to collect different animal skulls for a college assignment and to this day has about 60 hanging in the garage. Another artist I kind of liked was Sergey Smirnov. I guess I like the fact that his style is very recognizable, you will always know his works when you see them. This gallery also had a couple of original pencil drawings by Picasso...I of course liked the small doodle he did named "peace dove"
