Last Wednesday‘s quick op shop finds before my bus arrived after work and I had to get to my waxing appointment.
Last Wednesday‘s quick op shop finds before my bus arrived after work and I had to get to my waxing appointment.
1) Hand-lettered titles and designs made to look 3D/tactile. (Asymmetry or Small Hours are examples of the latter.)
2) How to choose? Nan Goldin is great. Edward Hopper is quietly lovely. Winslow Homer is a master.
3) Giovanni Paolo Panini‘s “view painting” in the Louvre. It‘s a painting of a room full of DOZENS of paintings. Incredible work from the 18th century.
4) The Met is a go-to. It can be so different every time.

Went to a local art studio and gallery today in #themitten and this painting caught my eye—mostly the book in the painting! So pretty! #art #book #painting
Tonight I went with Ahmed one of "my"kids to a Art Exhibition for K-12. Out of the 9000 student body the few chosen kids artwork was on display at the local Arts Council. Ahmed, an 8 yr old boy who is a refugee from Pakistan, who I am in my third year of mentoring, tutoring and supporting had his artwork displayed. He was so very proud! He is enamored with art and looked at every single piece of art displayed. I'm so proud ?????????
I finally bought a library cart (truck) for all my art books...so excited. #riotgrams #shelfie #library #librarycart
Good news: Got a part time job as an educator at the local art museum! Bad news: high school humanities and art history was a long time ago. Time to brush up.
When I told @BookBabe that it was time for our walk, this is where I found her painting ?, on the back porch listening to an audiobook. This is one of her non-bookish pieces. It's called "The Forgotten Firefighter" and it's of, well, a forgotten firefighter in NJ. He perished fighting a blaze with 2 other colleagues, but he has perplexingly not been included in re-tellings and memorials. An old deteriorated photo was found, and she's using that.
It's my last week of work at my current job (I work in a Children's Library). A little girl presented me with this portrait of me today. I think she did a pretty great job. Compare it with an actual photo of me. Which is the real me? Which is the drawing? It's impossible to tell.
Beautiful Vika wears book-clutch "The art book" with coat and oversize scarf?
We created a new book clutch cover for art lovers! Handbag "The art book" is a perfect accessory for creative women???

Only found two Text Only books on my shelves for today's #Booktober photo ... Guess that's what happens when you often judge books by their covers!
