These days it's hard to see a image that hasn't been retouched and digital images are increasingly popular in art and advertising. Still, you can walk into a Starbucks, or a boutique and still see an original painting. Is art dying? The answer is up to you. The viewer. As an artist, the only way to fully appreciate any of my paintings is to walk into a gallery and look at it. A painting has texture, life, and the paint vibrates differently than a flat printed image. Baltimore is still brimming with possibilities for art and galleries are still curating shows. http://citypaper.com/special/topten/the-year-in-art-1.1073867 lists and describes the top 10 galleries this year.
