Today I went to the Orlando Art Museum and saw
unusual paintings about the environment and technology. The exhibit's artist was
Frank Moore. He died in April 2002. His paintings are surreal. My favorite
painting was of a big bald eagle. It had human hands, a computer keyboard, mouse
and a cell phone. It also had a real surveillance camera in it, which showed a
little screen of the people looking at the painting. Other paintings showed the
microscopic bugs in water, and the polluting chemicals. One painting had two
joined arms with mushrooms and stuff growing out of it, with bugs crawling on
it. One arm was bleeding. There was another painting of tiny buffaloes all over
a bed, leaving their footprints, like in the snow...
There were a lot of kids at the museum.
