Inspired by Caio




ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND CLAIRE TOOK US TO SEE AN EXHIBIT OF PAINTINGS ON CANVAS AND PAPER AT THE DRAWING ROOM IN EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. THE WORK IS BY NEW YORK PAINTER CAIO FONSECA, AND I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. IT MAKES ME WANT TO PAINT!

LOOKING AT THIS WORK ONLINE OR IN PRINT, YOU MISS A GREAT DEAL OF TEXTURE AND ACTIVITY GOING ON IN THE SURFACE. IF YOU CAN SEE FONSECA'S WORK IN A GALLERY OR MUSEUM, DO IT!
