Art



Getting invited over for leftovers is raised to the level of art
 when the  leftovers were cooked for a photo shoot by Marco Canora.
When we had finished eating all we could manage


we looked at some of the photos taken of the food for Marco's book
 Salt to Taste which is due out this fall. 
Everything was delicious but the lasagna verde and a fish
 and potato spread from Lucca stunned.
 The book is about how to make all these things at home. 
I asked Marco where he shopped for ingredients: the green market
 at Union Square and Chelsea Market. 
Exactly where I shop. Now all I need is the book and our lives will be much improved.


Lots of art yesterday. Here Lucille Nurkse with Final Concert
from  Jazz and Art/an exhibit celebrating America's musical art form at
 the Hudson Guild Gallery on 26th Street. The show runs until June 10th.



ITMA. (It's that man again.....) Preston Trombly with 
Turning on Green in the same show.


For some reason yesterday was an embarrassment of riches.
It was finally spring and everything seemed new, vibrant and exciting.
This tree reminded me of Samuel Palmer's visions
 of Kentish orchards long ago.


Even the mural painted by children at a local school delighted me.
 Maybe it was the dog.......

Preston Trombly at the National Arts Club



Preston Trombly with his recent piece Flow- Blue 2009
at the National Arts Club, a stunning example of old New York
in Gramercy Park. It would not be a great hardship
 for me to live in Gramercy Park.  Others share this view.



Like E.A.P above, flanked by T.R  and Woodrow Wilson......



Some enchanting nymphs in the hall.....

 

.... and a stolid burgher whose name escapes me.



There are even spring flowers.

The 18th Annual Roundtable Exhibition continues until April 17th. 10 am- 5pm
Greg and Marquis Galleries
The National Arts Club
15 Gramercy Park South (E.20th St.)

Gallery Hopping


A very cold Saturday afternoon. Icy wind off the Hudson, but a good afternoon to go looking at galleries in Chelsea.

Better yet, our friend Preston Trombly has an opening at The New Century Artists Gallery at 530 West 25th Street. The show is on until January 3rd. As well as painting, Preston is a presenter on Sirius Satellite Radio. 


My photos do a pitiful job capturing the exquisite color and textured richness of the pieces and the interplay of reality and shadow. You will have to go to see them in the flesh.
 As well as Preston's work, there were other pieces which caught the gallery-goers' attention.

Next door a gallerista ponders his inventory.

We walk home up 25th Street after night has fallen.
