ARTWORK DROP OFF

6-27-2009

Jennifer and I woke the family early for our trip to New York City where we would be dropping off my painting entitled "The Field's Edge" at the Salmagundi Club. We always include the children in these types of activities connected with my paintings - We make these trips a fun family outing. I was especially excited about this trip because this exhibition is my first showing outside of Connecticut, and in New York City at the prestigious Salmagundi Club of all places. Very Exciting!

Once the painting was safely delivered to the Salmagundi Club we traveled to Astoria, Queens, New York to visit with my Uncle Ernie. My Uncle took over the house in Queens from my grandparents after they past away. This is the house where I spent most of my summers as a child and it always brings back memories when I visit.

We took some time to have dinner at our favorite pizzeria in Astoria.

Before heading back to Connecticut we had to stop and visit Teti Anne. Anne Fucich was my very first art instructor as a child. She is 92 years old and still living on her own in Queens. We stayed for a while and reminisced about the old days and we also talked about art. Teti Anne was very excited about my painting that was accepted into the Salmagundi Club exhibition.
