Ravels in Review: 4th of July Weekend!


Thank god it’s finally here. I mean, aside from some techincal snafoos, it’s been a good week– but I rather be off on a long weekend. Jasper John’s Three Flags, above, is as close to patriotic as I get. I’ve been on a mental vacation everywhere but NYC USA this week.

There was a video post about the High Museum in Atlanta, Georgia, and then there was Hungarian art past (Tamas St. Auby) and present (Peter Forgacs) plus the current cool festivities at the Ludwig Museum in Budapest.

There was a crazy sky last weekend, which led to some good sailing weather, and hopefully there’ll be more of it for this upcoming weekend: we’re sailing over to Fire Island. It’ll be nice to have some good ol’ Americana in my life. Enjoy the long weekend!

When life gets in the way…

Between it taking two and a half hours to get online due to a problem that miraculously resolved itself and the email I got this morning from Youtube saying a video had been taken down for copyright infringement, I’d say I have a frustrated relationship with the online sphere right now.
I’m going to catch up on my blog reading.

Cheers,

Art

Red Sky at Night…

The sky did the most incredible thing last night….did you see it?


Red sky at night, sailor’s delight,
Red sky at morning, sailor’s take warning.

Everything was bathed in a rose-orange glow and the clouds looked like pouffe balls. People on the street were stopping to take pictures. The old proverb must be true: I’ve woken up to the most beautiful day this June.

So I’m going sailing! Happy Saturday!
