Single Fare 3

Lisa's spectacular Single Fare paintings

We went to the Single Fare show to see Lisa's little gems. I ask myself, how does she manage so much detail at that size and still maintain her painterly style? I don't know! The gallery was packed and there were so many amazing little paintings. A fun night.

Merry Christmas!

Starting the day with a walk in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is a lovely thing.

Another Take

... on unexpected beauty

Lisa and I went for a walk on Saturday. The last few photos I've posted are from that afternoon. We were both struck by the sunlight coming through the curtained windows of this abandoned restaurant. Lisa posted her photo a few days ago with all it's soft and beautiful moodiness and here is mine -- a different variation on the same motif.

Travis Show Opening

During a quiet moment, Graig, Paul and Lisa take a closer look

Peter's show, Visionary Landscape, opened this weekend at the Travis Gallery in New Hope, PA. It was a fun and fruitful evening. The show runs through the end of November. For more information and to preview the work, visit peterfiore.com.

Lisa's "Single Fare" paintings

Peter's daughter Lisa Fiore did these 4 beautiful paintings on Metro Cards for the "Single Fare" show opening this Thursday night at Sloan Fine Art on the lower east side of NY. They are for sale and are $100 each.

Yay Lisa!

The Artist's Magazine, January/February 2011

Lisa won 2nd place for her portrait "Sam" in the Artist's Magazine's student competition -- very nice and well deserved!

Kerygma Gallery

Lisa and friends discussing paintings

Peter is exhibiting 40 of his landscape paintings at the Kerygma Gallery in Ridgewood, NJ through November 14th. They are stunning.

Sunrise

Paul and Lisa photographing from the Milford Bridge

Lisa and Paul are home for the weekend. We were up very early this morning to go out photographing. Our original destination was teaming with hunters, so we raced away looking for a new location to catch the sunrise. As we crossed the Delaware River and headed into New Jersey, the sun was just starting to break. Peter stayed with the car as Lisa, Paul and I headed out onto the bridge to watch the sunrise unfold. It was cold, beautiful and well worth getting up to see.

Nosh

Admiring Lisa's painting, "Two Pickles, Two Glass Dishes, One Tomato"

Lisa is part of a show on the Lower East Side at CultureFix Gallery called "Nosh". Very exciting! Read more about it on the Village Voice Blog.

My Portrait

Last week Lisa painted my portrait. She did an amazing job. Check it out on her blog, lisafiore.blogspot.com.

More lovely kelp washed up on the beach at Santa Monica

Lisa and I spent a week in Southern California. We had a wonderful time visiting old friends and exploring city, beach and desert. I'm going to post some of my photos from the trip -- be sure to see Lisa's photos as well on her blog.

SVA Junior Thesis Show '10

Paul and Peter

I can never resist feet and legs against a gallery floor

Congratulations to Lisa and all of the third year illustration students at the School of Visual Arts who did such amazing and inspiring work for their Junior Thesis Project, "Classical Myths Transformed". Lisa's symbolic still life paintings of Hera, Artemis, Aphrodite, Hades and Poseidon are so moody and lush and beautifully painted. We are so proud of her! It was a fun night.

A Trip to the Met

The Great Hall was a swirl of activity

We took Lisa back to the city and spent the afternoon at the Met. Peter and Lisa went off to discuss painting and I went in search of ancient sculpture and inspiration. It's been a long time since I wandered around the museum by myself and without a real plan. Fun was had by all.

Picture Hunting in NH

Peter talks to Lisa about using her new camera

Goldfish

Me with goldfish

We now have 3 goldfish -- props from Lisa's photo shoot this weekend that are now our pets. I think it's interesting that we cooked 2 live lobsters, a pound of live mussels, a pound of live clams along with shrimp and calamari, but felt compelled to save the lives of 3 goldfish. I'm surprised how much we are enjoying them, especially Peter.
