John Greene and Robert Marx met each […]
Victoria Brzustowicz: One Tree x 52
Victoria’s artwork is on view in “8x8x52: Weekly Paintings by Victoria Brzustowicz”. In December 2015, I was looking for ways I could push my painting routine. I considered one of those painting-a-day challenges, but I knew that was an unrealistic goal given my crazy schedule and the vagaries of Rochester weather. See, I don’t have studio space, […]
