Pictures I have been meaning to upload: Below is an "art" exhibit Roger and I saw at the Tate Modern in London earlier this year. Wondering where the art is? That crack in the floor, folks. For real. Below that, there are some experimental "houses" or some such thing. Roger can comment.
Two days into a new month. So far it's a sight better than January. Check out the new photo album. I've been baking, and today I took a really fun class from friend Loretta Marvel, over at Pomegranates and Paper. We made some very cool Victorian nosegays, out of ribbons and papers and stamps. Great fun, with a fascinating group of women, all accomplished artists. Some of their/our work in the photos! Here's a taste. . . .
Here is the fabulous studio where Dana and I took a class from Margaret Martin last weekend in Buffalo. So many things to paint and to look at!
It was supposed to be a flower-painting class, but for some crazy reason, I didn't quite snap to that, and so I painted bottles in the windows, odd dolls, and fabrics. Too much run, really. I hate to paint flowers, because I always want them to look like what they are--and in my painting, they never do!
You'll see Margaret herself, looking quite festive.
Margaret, giving a demo.
And the painting she's working on . . .
Roger and I went to see an exhibit of Tim Hawkinson's work (among a half dozen or so other events!) at the Whitney this weekend. I went around saying the guy was mad as a hatter, a genius, one of the most creative, and VERY ODD, artists I've seen in a while. I can't begin to describe the objects, sculptures, and other unclassifiable things we saw. I bought the catalog and have pored over it since. Check him out.
