I love the Bitten blog in the NYTimes

Heading to the RISD sale today.

Temperature permitting I'll be taking a final fall dip in Block Island Sound.

Have a nice weekend.

some quotes from the organizers-

"The notion of sublime was very much part of the equation." 

 

"To experience wonder is to open one's mind; wonder calls on us to question and be curious, to reach beyond the surface," 

"We actually focused on works that were overtly beautiful, and we 

had no qualms about it as long as it didn't stop there and had some 

layers. Works that will grab you and then start making you think. 

So some of the works are not quite shocking but leave you with an afterimage." 

"I hope the biennale creates some critical thinking; in the end, what is beauty and what is reality?"

Mark Rothko

this painting reminds me of lemon squares

Lauren Gohara’s lonely feather in the sky was painted with 

one man in mind: Senator Barack Obama, who she hopes 

will be the next President of the United States of America. 

And in that spirit, the painting will be up for auction at 

an Obama fundraiser this Saturday night
