Looking for paintings for Alyson Stanfield's Mother'sDay paintings on Facebook I found this older painting
which sums up the feeling of loving children for me.
Saturday we visited the Amsterdam Whitney gallery,
in Chelsea where I'm currently in a group show, and had
sherry and cookies with Ruthie Tucker the gallery
owner and her husband Ambassador Alton Louis
Amsterdam III. That was fun. I had come to New York
for the opening on Thursday, May 8 which was
a gala affair, with champagne, and everyone in a party
mood.
On opening night at the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery
with my paintings Wonder Water Image #1, #2 and #3
I am on the left with Steven van Schaik (my sweetie) and
Ambassador Alton Louis Amsterdam III, gallery owner
Ruthie Tucker's husband.
U.S. Federal Justice Elizabeth Lamb and I talk
at the opening party. My painting Wonder Water Image
#3 is to the right, and the work of Philip Catania can
be seen behind us.
It was raining off and on so we visited somegalleries in Chelsea then headed for central park where
we almost got soaked. Sunday was delightfully
sunny so walked to the Skylight Diner,
had a super breakfast, then cabbed to The Cloisters, an
astonishing museum.
I was delighted to speak to the artists, Angelica
Kahl from Germany and Andrea Harris, from Chicago
whose work I loved. Andrea and I have been
in group shows at the gallery several times, and
it's always a treat to see her.
Have a planning-to-go-to-New-York day.
