"I tell you, the more I think, the more I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people." ~ Vincent Van Gogh
I am going with two of my friends, Kate Lewis and Joanne Aono, to New York for an all out art spree. We've made a map, plotted our course, and are attempting to check out as many galleries, museums, and vegetarian eateries as possible. We leave tomorrow and only have a couple of days to manage the 21 art spots on our map, an artist lecture Tuesday night, plus the 15 possible places we've picked out to eat. I am just so excited I can barely stand it!! If you have any suggestions for must sees or eat, please leave a comment, which I can check while on the road!
Hope this day and everyday your heart is full!
I can't wait! See you very soon!!!
ReplyDeleteIf you like hummus, try- www.hummusplace.com - I'm a student at the Art Student's League, but I live in New Jersey, I don't know NYC too well (and I'm not a vegetarian)
ReplyDeleteBut I've been to Hummus Place- great food/prices,lots of locals and students.. and several locations in the city.
Love your work btw!:) Enjoy the trip!
Hi Karen, I have awarded you the Sunshine Blog Award. Drop by my blog to accept it.
ReplyDeleteI love this pristine heart - gorgeous. I am also to jealous of your New York Art Trip - have fun!
Thanks so much for the suggestion Von!! We will add it to our map, I love hummus! I'm so glad to discover your blog too, your last post is an amazing drawing!! And I love the painting of the potato.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tammy for the Sunshine Award, you are too kind. Too much excitement for me today :)
Kate see you there!!!! I'm in the airport now!!!
Enjoy! I wish you a fantastic time and am soo envious!
ReplyDeleteThank you Liza! It's amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous. But, your snowy heart helped make me feel better. =)
ReplyDeleteWow! good luck with hitting all those spots in two days. I'm afraid I'd get into the MOMA and would never make it to the next spot.
Enjoy!

Thank you too Karen, for your great comments:) (That beautiful drawing is not mine though, it's from a friend, Sarah Quinter. I think its great too:)
ReplyDeleteYour snow heart here is lovely, btw. I keep coming back here to look at it! :)

ReplyDeleteso it's definitely not vegetarian, but the best French restaurant we've found in NYC is Cafe Un Deux Trois (I think it's on 44th?) in the Theatre district. Have a GREAT time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Don, it has been an action packed trip, and still half a day tomorrow to go! I can't wait to post about it when I get back.
ReplyDeleteOh no Von, I'm so sorry for the mistake. The weather today has been terrible, but we saw some amazing art which more than made up for it!! :)
Christall thank you thank you, I'm very honored!
Hey Alia we actually popped in a French cafe today and I can't remember the name right now. I got a delicious BOWL of Latte and a fruit crepe!
Have a wonderful time Karen! I would have suggested the Hispanic Museum in Harlem but it's closed for renos Jan and Feb. Good reason to go back though.
ReplyDeleteI just came back from a few days in Vanc over the Olympics and the city is just buzzing. A good exhibit at the VAG (free) of DaVinci's anatomical drawings. They belong to the Queen so hardly ever seen. Amazing!
How fun!! I am so jealous, but in a good way! If you want an adventure into Brooklyn, go to Di Fara's Pizza! Awesome! Also, for sure get a cupcake at Magnolia...then paint it!
ReplyDeleteYour paintings make me smile in my living room!!
Have fun!

ReplyDeleteJeanie, thank you so much for your compliment! Thank you too for your suggestion!!
