The Drawing Center and More Such News

Good Evening Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well on the final papers.  I look forward to reading them.

Today, as always, I put in my time at the studio and also went out to check out some local cuisine.  Rosendale is really big on organic foods, so today another resident and I went to a restaurant called Market Market.  Here is their website, FYI:

http://www.marketmarketcafe.com/

The meal was excellent, although I am really in the mood for some ethnic food now.  It's all a bit too American for me around here.  I normally like to eat food in places that, you know, would be scared of the health department coming in...places that serve some kind of "home" cooking from another country, an occasional taco truck is my preference.  For that, I cannot wait to get back to Stockton.

Now, for some art.  One of my favorite galleries in New York is the Drawing Center.  They specialize in presenting exhibitions of work on paper.  I'm not sure I have written about this yet, but I love love love me some paper.  I love fine paper, I love printmaking paper, I love drawing paper, I especially love Japanese paper.  I am a paper connoisseur, as many of us printmakers often become. Paying $20 for a sheet of paper? Sure!  That's an investment.  Yes, I have to go another month without getting a pedicure, but I have some really nice paper, and the glory of having beautiful toes doesn't compare.

In any case, The Drawing Center is worth a look if you're ever in the area.  Because I am hardly ever in the area, I frequent their website, so I shall share that with you tonight:

It is getting quite late here, so I shall turn in now.  I look forward to reading about the exhibits you reviewed.
