A Girl and a Gun . . .

. . . indeed.

The Day After Thanksgiving in Manhattan

S. AND I HAD A LOVELY THANKSGIVING FEAST WITH FRIENDS IN THE CITY. BEFORE HEADING HOME ON FRIDAY WE STOPPED IN CHELSEA TO SEE WHAT WAS SHOWING IN THE GALLERIES. I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THE DAVID HOCKNEY PAINTINGS AT PACE WILDENSTEIN ON 25TH ST. IF I HAD KNOWN THE SHOW CONTINUED AT THEIR UPTOWN GALLERY I WOULD'VE RUN RIGHT UP THERE TO SEE IT. BOTH PARTS OF THE SHOW CLOSE ON CHRISTMAS EVE, SO VISIT IT SOON IF YOU CAN!
HERE IS A LINK TO A VERY GOOD ARTICLE IN THE NY TIMES ABOUT HOCKNEY'S LATEST WORK IN ENGLAND. THERE'S A FUN MOVIE CLIP AND AUDIO SLIDE SHOW ATTACHED TO THE ARTICLE. HERE IS A LINK TO JAMES KALM'S SURREPTITIOUS VIDEO OF THE 25TH STREET GALLERY SHOW. SKIP AHEAD TO THE 4:00 MINUTE MARK (SKIP THE BORING BOOK SIGNING) TO SEE THE HOCKNEY SHOW.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, HERE'S A LINK TO DAVID HOCKNEY'S WEBSITE, WHICH LOOKS LIKE HOURS OF FUN.

Nathan's New Work

HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK AT A FEW OF THE PAINTINGS NATHAN WAS MAKING WHEN I VISITED PROVIDENCE IN JULY. OF COURSE MY PHOTOGRAPHY DOESN'T DO THEM JUSTICE, BUT YOU CAN GET SOME IDEA. NATE WILL HAVE A WEBSITE UP SOON - I'LL BE SURE TO POST A LINK.

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!
