Remembering My Father A Renaissance Man

My dad would be 88 today I think. We always got his birthday mixed up it was either august 29th or 30th. He died suddenly 6 years ago. He is missed everyday. Recently while visiting my mom in Carlsbad I had a chance to look at a collage my brothers and I made with our kids for his 80 birthday. We each brought our stash of pictures we had been snitching from my parents for years. We were holed up in our condo in Park City Utah for hours deciding which pictures to use making sure all stages of Dad's life were represented while we argued, laughed and remembered.

Brooklyn Museum's fantastic show! 
Every trip from India I come home with a little collection, not museum quality, but a wonderfully affordable selection. There are still some miniatures, embellished god & goddess prints and my favorite folk art paintings from Bihar.

What a nice week.

Summer Flown By!

Yikes it has been a busy summer. Loads of new goodies on the website. An upcoming trunk show in Montauk at Cynthia Rowley next week.  A fall wedding for my son.
