Delle Bates saw scarves on everyone on his recent visit to France. Even people in bathing suits tied one on. He's worked the flair into the several oils he's created this year, and visitors can see his "French girls" at Port Arthur's Texas Artists Museum (TAM) in October. Using black for his negative space and working in olive branches are other inspirations from hitting about 60 museums on his pilgrimage.
"I'm not an old hippie. I wish I would have been," Bates, who has an Orange studio, said.
A dark cadmium redhead with absinthe-green eyes is named "Lucy in the Sky." He's also showing angels in T-shirts that came to him after Hurricane Rita.
Jean Gunn and James Black will also show works in October. TAM, at 3501 Cultural Center Drive, offers monthly Second Sunday programs with entertainment, often combined with artists' receptions.
More museum? We've got it. Museum of the Gulf Coast has history including art of Robert Rauschenberg and music from Janis Joplin and The Big Bopper, all from Port Arthur.
