The Boca Raton Public Library offers free visual entertainment. For art lovers in South Florida, Fran Mann Goodman's "Homage to Color" display is the newest visual treat. As mentioned on the City of Boca Raton's official website, Goodman employs a vibrant palette across her canvases, punctuated with layers of pastes, sands, and gels that thrust depth into the foreground.

According to City of Boca Raton's website, Goodman's Chouinard Art Institute roots shine through as she, literally and figuratively, stacks layers upon layers to let color surge to life. "I paint for the sole purpose of witnessing how color layer by layer comes alive on the canvas." It seems every stroke and sculpted paper towel is a step into her technicolor wonderland that demands more than a cursory glance from visitors. Alongside the paintings, visitors can mark their calendars for September 12. Goodman isn't just showcasing her brushwork; she's set to dive into the painted worlds of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Miles Davis in her Thursday Night Speaker session, "Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, Miles Davis – The Men and Their Art!" from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m.

With over forty exhibits to her name and her art housed in collections worldwide, Goodman is no stranger to the artistic spotlight. Her affiliation with the National Association of Women Artists marks another highlight in her colorful career. For those looking to immerse themselves in her artistic narration, "Homage to Color" runs freely from August 26 to October 11, at the Boca Raton Public Library.
