Tasha Tudor at the Fenimore

Tasha Tudor exhibition at the Fenimore opened yesterday. This show was organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum and will be at the Fenimore until Dec 1. Nice show. Her originals are smaller (teeny in some cases) than I thought they would be. Always wonderful to get up close and see the pencil marks and study sketches. This article was interesting to read also.

Gerald Leslie Brockhurst

While visiting the University of Georgia Art Museum, we saw an exhibit of etchings by British artist, Gerald Leslie Brockhurst.  

Georgia on my mind

Apologies for the lack of posts. We've been traveling in the South and just getting back and playing catch up.

Cooperstown National Exhibition

Nice turnout at the CAA National Juried Exhibition Opening Preview Party (with my two entries, Koi and Avocado.)

Next month my friend Chad Grohman has a solo show there.

garlic

Pulling first of the garlic. This is 'Thermidrome', a full-flavored French garlic I planted last Fall.

There are four varieties in the garden and they all seem to have different times of readiness to harvest.
