Our day in New York City today was packed again.
We headed to Chelsea to visit the Amsterdam Whitney
Gallery, and had tea and delicious biscotti with
Gallery Director Ruthie Tucker.

Rashmi and her wonderful work
and me at the Art Students' League.
In the late afternoon we visited with a friend I made last
year just walking between our hotel and the Metropolitain
Museum of Modern Art. Rashmi Pearce was a model for
American greats like Pearlstein. This year Rashmi has been
attending the Arts Students' League studying as a painter.
Recently she went back to posing too, but loves the painting
and wants to continue. It was so exciting to see her work,
which I loved, and to be shown around the magnificent,
old school. Steven and I were so entranced, that we didn't
notice we had red oil paint, on our dark good clothes.
Luckily it all came off with turpentine. A shout out to
Rashmi for a wonderful visit.

Class set up for still life
Fabulous sculpture in the Sculpture studio
For dinner we headed out to a familiar place we love
the El Quijote in Chelsea. The food is reasonable and
plentiful, and the waiters funny and engaging.
Have a visiting-artist-friends-day.

Wow! Your work looks so gorgeous, contemporary and amazing! Those pieces are stunning and look so good haning together. Someone really needs to buy all three. What a fabulous trip. I can feel your mind just churning with ideas and excitement. Bravo! And that IS a beautiful sculpture! ; )
Hi Kim, thanks so much. I've been really excited about your abstracts. I wish we could meet again because I'm so intrigued. I would love for someone to buy all three. Great idea.
My mind is still churning with ideas and excitement and I've been home for almost a week. You are right. But that's how it was when you went to France. I loved reading about it.
XO Barbara
