Road Trip…

Last weekend Mr. O and I took a road trip to the Adirondacks…It’s only about 5 hours away but I had never been there before…I don’t know how that happened and I hope to go back again with more time for exploring…

Our trip started with a detour to the DiaBeacon Museum…No photos allowed there…which seems unreasonable to me…

It was fun to explore the large space …the exhibits are large and fill an old factory…

That night we attended a house-warming party for a house designed by Mr. O then stayed at the Keene Valley Lodge…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…It was too dark to take good pictures of the house…I just have a few from outdoors…

Sunday brought sun…lupines…and a trip to Lake Placid…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We took a boat tour around the perimeter of Lake Placid…and raced the rain clouds…

…before we headed back home.

Road Trip...

Mr. O and I took a short road trip on a chilly Easter Sunday to Wesleyan University's art galleries...It was the first time I have been to that campus and it is very beautiful...spring is trying to show itself here too...




...At the Davison Art Center we saw a small but evocative photography show of Judith Joy Ross photographs...click on her name for a link to the show's description...this was one of my many favorites at the show...

Her most recent photographs included are part of a series of portraits taken of protesters against the Iraq war...

...We then went to the Zilkha Galleries where some Senior Thesis Exhibitions were taking place and were very impressive...I wish I wrote down the names of the student artists of my favorite pieces shown here...but they were included within this group..

Jason Bailey, Travis Fitzgerald, Omar Hunter Craighill, Claire Staples and
Joshua Koenig.

...this wonderful, flowing wooden sculpture...

...and a fun, light-hearted series of very large paintings of chairs of all types...

...all of these paintings were too large to fit in my house but I would have been happy to hang any one of them if I could...
