Governor's Island: Some of the Art

Picasso at Gagosian Gallery-Hurry to See This!

This is a MUST SEE! It is a fabulous collection of Picasso's late work (approx. 1967-1972) and it is free entry-unlike a museum exhibit. I need to go back to look again because there were a few paintings that I loved. Thank you Ana for recommending we go! Makes me feel lucky to be in NYC!

Mystery Etched Milk Bottles

Karen H. turned me on to this interesting story in the UK(thank you Karen!). Apparently a very talented artist has been etching milk bottles and putting them alongside her neighbors milk deliveries. So some very lucky people wake up and open up their front doors to get their fresh milk and find beautiful pieces of work as well! The story was leaked to the press and the artist, Charlotte Hughes-Martin, has gotten a ton of press and demand for her milk bottles!

Love this story!!!!
Check out Charlotte's website.

Portraits

Through some of my online surfing I found a wonderful artist, Kelly Neidig, whose landscapes I just loved. I emailed her. "Could she make a couple of paintings for me? I 'd like 2 that sort of go together. One titled: Levi and the other: Summer. Of course one should have more blue in it, like the denim blue jeans and the other should reflect a season of the year."
We agreed upon a price and here is what I am getting.

and the other one is here:

Exciting!
I think I am going to give them as Hanukah presents(luckily the kids don't read this blog!)
Her site is here.
Kelly sells her work on Etsy too!
