Early in the day, Peter and Paul talk some Cy at the Met

Later that day, Paul proclaims, "so this is what beer tastes like..."

The Four Temperaments

Peter and Paul discuss the finer points of tiger saliva - it's always about light

The star of the night, Mr. Woodruff

Thursday night we went to see Thomas Woodruff's show, The Four Temperament Variations at PPOW. Tom is Peter's friend and colleague and an incredibly talented man. His work is a visual feast that keeps on giving.

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.

Saturday night we went to our friend Heidi Hahn's opening at Collective Hardware on the Bowery in NYC. Her work is fantastic, fun and bold. We loved it and had a great time. Heidi is one of 5 artists showing their work. Click here for more information.

Lisa and Peter review photos on her camera of a recent school assignment

Later that night, Lisa, Peter and I headed back uptown towards SVA and had Steak Frites at L'Express on Park and 20th. I think we were subconsciously kicking off Paris week on Peter's blog! Lisa's doing great in school and has become a real city girl. We're so proud of her.
