Is it really spring? The weather forecast calls for up to 4 feet of snow in the higher elevations with perhaps 18 inches in the city. The snow will continue until Monday morning. These types of snow storms are normal for March in this area.
Friday night I hit the galleries with Bart and TC, who is a retired landscape architect. It was a most enjoyable time as all enjoy viewing art. The evening was one last chance to get out of the house before the storm, which, was originally due to start on Friday night. The gallery crowd consisted of serious art lovers and collectors. The lookie loos have not returned to art scene. The spring art season is off to a good start even though winter is still here.
There was a buzz in the air. Everyone was excited to be out of the house. The evening was a small escape from a world dominated by vaccine and pandemic talk. The focus was on the art. And there was some stellar art to see.
I found two pieces I would like to acquire but I need to think long and hard about buying more art. Something will need to come off the wall to make room for new art. I recently sent my tax papers to the accountant. I’d better not purchase any art until I find out if I owe additional taxes. I also need to fund my SEP Ira for 2020 out of my regular savings.
After three gallery openings, we stopped in Blackbird for a late dinner. The restaurant was not crowded which allowed us to isolate in a booth. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The food was tasty as always. This restaurant consistently sets a high bar.
I’m headed out to shovel. It’s best to shovel several times rather than try to tackle 18 inches of snow at one time. It’s a heavy wet snow, not the fine powder of earlier season storms. It’s also good exercise in place of a gym workout.
Enjoy a few art pics while I shovel.
I like #2 & #3, but man, those pieces are ex-pen-sive!
take it easy with the shoveling, dear.
AM – 1 is my favorite. I adore Madeleine. She’s so talented.
I would buy the first and the last one.
Spo – so would I.
