I took the red eye to NYC last night, slept a few hours and I got right on track with the time change. It was an incredible afternoon of bright blue skies, and Spring-like weather.

Today being my daughter Theodora’s birthday, I was reminded I had not shared images from the fabulous day we spent together at Dia Beacon. It was my first visit, while Theodora had been many times before.

Seeing the Sandback piece reminded me of the amazing … Continue reading “Stuff” in New York, NY
It was really fun to be at an art fair in Seattle last night. Most of us were masked, but you could tell everyone was smiling. My two favorite booths were Stoney Road Press (Dublin, Ireland) and John Natsoulas Gallery (Davis, California). Perhaps I am partial as I know both of the galleries quite well, but I truly thought they did a great job of … Continue reading Seattle Art Fair in Seattle, WA
