I Can't Stop
Each and every night for the past 2 weeks we've been getting home at 4:30 a.m. sharp. The same drill every night. In a city of millions of residents it seems like the same crowd over and over again. Don't these people have jobs?
Drunk Drivers = Murderers
You might have seen this on the evening news if you live in NYC. Two teenage girls walking home around sunset were hit by a drunk driving, prescription medicine drug addict. They flew about 20 feet into the air hit a tree and the steel side and died on impact.
The reason I'm mentioning this is because as many of you blog-goers of mine know, I had 2 weddings- one in NY and one in Tel Aviv. Well, for my wedding here one of the victim's Mom is the stylist who put the veil on me that day, and on many other brides in the past few years. So all I could think of that night was how she would never be able to put a wedding veil on her daughter.
Driving while intoxicated is equivalent to taking a gun and shooting someone in the face. It's intentional NOT an accident.
And the answer is yes I do believe there is life, real life after death. I have a Hindu friend who tells me this world IS our Hell. I wouldn't go so far as to say hell, but maybe prison.
Speaking of personal Hells.. Edvard Munch
Finally had time to visit the Edvard Munch exhibit at the MOMA. Many of his paintings afflicted me deeply. Munch and his work have had a long time influence on me. Viewing works of art in person is an unbelievable experience.
Matisse's "The Studio" was also at exhibit to my surprise. Plus many other excellent artists. Highly recommend to go out and see them.
Escaping the cameras of David Letterman..
Heading West on 53rd after the museum tour and we run into taping of the Late Show in front of the Hello Deli. I have a pet peeve. And that is being filmed or taped without permission. It's a privacy issue. I know in the city of NY you're constantly on someone's camera. Tourist's flash bulbs everywhere, the media, etc. But isn't it a 5th amendment right if you ask someone to stop filming they have to stop?
Studio Work & Visits
I've finally found time to scan some artwork. My entire lighting system fell apart last week! But everything is back in tact now. The main goal this week is to take pics of everything. So keep checking back. We've also began offering specials on giclees. Join the Special Offers list to receive these offers.
I should mention that soon I will no longer be offering studio visits. although I love meeting with you, I need the time to concentrate on my work. Anyone wishing to view my works will be able to see them in galleries only. I have a few available studio appointments left for Spring. If you're interested in seeing the work in person, email us to schedule an appointment.
That's all the updates you get. Have a lovely day.
