Art Around the City

Art around the city...

We spent the weekend in NYC and found lots of inspiration! 

Poster in the East Village



Richard Serra drawings



Van Gogh - it's incredible how much paint is on the canvas - it's 3D, not flat at all


We saw a great Courbet exhibit in Montpellier France a few years ago, this is his rather large signature



An installation made of aluminum, tin and wire



A Jackson Pollock



Jasper Johns



Beautiful color blocks



Lichtenstein



And a great tin print



View from The Met rooftop

Wanderlust Yoga in the Park

Last night I attended a yoga workshop in Grant Park. It was packed. 

When I first arrived, the fog rolled in...



This is everyone in the middle of a Sun Salutation.


And this is what hundreds of people in Savasana looks like!


You can see official pictures here.

Women in the Arts

My mom was recently featured in an exhibit showcasing women in the arts. She, of course, is a vegan chef and creator of amazing food. Isn't it a great picture?


Tradition

My parents started a tradition years ago of marking our heights on the wall. There are so many people on there, some family, some friends. 


And my dad recently acquired this picture of our family from 1917. I love old panoramics like this.


My great grandmother is the one in the middle.



And a street sign named after our family for their contributions to East Liverpool Ohio.




Prints

Some fun prints I came across in Columbus this week...
