I <3 New York

Here’s a few photos from my recent NY trip. It was wonderful to spend time with my family and do some brief sightseeing in NYC. I wish we could have stayed longer to have the chance to meet up with friends in the area. Next time!

Tapestry from The Cloister
The High Line was a Highlight!
Love the old buildings
A Jeff Koons addition
The newer buildings offer great reflections
Times Square craziness

I was just in the studio this Friday morning. It feels great to be home after 1 1/2 weeks in New York. We had an amazing time in Buffalo and NYC. It’s nice to have the day to do as I wish.

This safety pin is part of my “sewing” series and it was also part of my “what the fuck is happening to our County series?!”  People were wearing safety pins to let others know that you are a safe being (to combat the increase in hate crimes since the election). Doing art, reading, and getting a good work out helps me deal with the ugliness in the world.

 

 

 

 

Are your going to Alameda County Fair?

It was a fun afternoon at the Alameda County Fair – my daughter played bari sax at the horse race stadium with her middle school band. It was such a wonderful year of music at her middle school – I feel so fortunate that we are part of the music community.

Today was a perfectly beautiful day – not too hot! We headed over to the adult art area and found my painting on display. I don’t know if I will ever get use to this experience of seeing my art in some place other than my studio or home.

Overall, it was a beautiful day!

How much is that dress form in the window?

I had a fun day celebrating Father’s Day with my hubby and darling daughter. We also ran into a friend unexpectedly. This was not the first time that we’ve run into this friend in random parts of California!

We spent the day in Gold County on an excessively hot day. Either most of the cute antique shops did not have a/c or the a/c they had could not keep up with the 100 degree temps.  With that, we still had a lovely day with hubby proclaiming that this was the “best” father’s day.

I want to do some more sewing themed art and was looking for some inspiration. This dress form was calling me…..
