My final picture of the 2012 version of “Dwelling” with the artist Marie Watt, her daughter Evelyn, and the big stack o’ blankets. Friday night was the ceremonial opening of the show, delayed for a month until Evelyn was born and Marie could be here from New York. Marie spoke interestingly about her work and […]

This and That…
Thanksgiving was fun with turkey and family and all that good stuff…though I didn’t take time out to photo it all, since I was the hostess, so just think of your own day, and ditto that for ours. Besides my lovely family and a tummy full of good food, I’m thankful this year for the […]
