Saturday Night:
a fun backyard birthday party for my lunch club friend Lisa- great food, atmosphere, music and dancing - a wonderful evening...
Sunday:
I went to The National Portrait Gallery, I have been wanting to go for ages and finally got there. We only did two of the three floors, so I must go back. It was amazing, but a few things really struck me. In the middle of the second floor was a curio cabinet filled with miniatures, it was exquisite and stunningly detailed. I have long been drawn to eye miniatures, and in the cabinet were miniatures of these miniatures made like little soldered charms....too cool.
There were also some gorgeous atmospheric paintings by Childe Hassam and another artist - I think I have his name wrong -I will have to go back and check Walter Dewling -there was one of his that was an interpretation of the three graces that just stopped me in my tracks...
Monday:
It was so nice to have a third day for the weekend, along with more beautiful weather. Today was a trip to Home Depot and about $200 worth of plants for the patio and garden - will have to take some pictures...
Tuesday:
Back to work and the rat race. One on one lunch turn with the boss -surprisingly relaxed and good, but followed by the 2.5 hour staff meeting and some new big tedious projects- but hey I am employed and paid and off the streets.....but sadly employment cuts into my art......
