Hi everyone,

I am in New York City for an art opening today at the
Amsterdam Whitney Gallery.  I'm in a group show there
for a month.

My love of New York City is profound, there is art
everywhere.  Everywhere we go people talk to
us about their lives.  The city is vibrant 24/7.

I haven't got any painting done in the past week,
but have been thinking about what's next.  Perhaps
cityscapes on a more complicated level.

We met the artist Wendy Barrett last night for dinner.
She wrote the book Grabbing The Muse By the Throat,
which I read and loved.  My photos of the evening
have not worked out, so I'm waiting for her to send me
hers -- which were great.  She is a super artist, and
delightful person.

So today I may even do two blogs! Yes!  (We'll see
there is a lot to see and do, and that is paramount).
