We get artsy-fartsy

Isn't this nice? We think so. That's artist Jeanne Ladewig-Goodman at right.

The first thing we noticed was that the artist was actually shorter than Kathleen. Then we noticed that all the colors in the mixed media presentation lined up well with our bathroom. Sand and strings and texture and lots of Elmer's glue came together for this very pleasing work.
Gave us pause and something to think about.

We met the delightful Jeanne Ladewig-Goodman last night in the Method Art gallery during the weekly Thursday night Art Walk around Fifth Avenue in Scottsdale. The area galleries lay out wine and cheese and sandwiches, cookies, cole slaw and cinnamon buns for meandering visitors, so we ate our way from one end of the district to the other, enjoying the art and the warm night air. The boulevard trees are all lit up, there are young street merchants, street musicians and a festive air.
Free food and drink, free entertainment and plenty of free parking. Art work is not included. . .

At left, John admired David Hill's numbered print of his painting of 24 hours at Le Mans. complete with the signatures of Dan Gurney, A.J. Foyt, and others.
Yes, that's the renown David Hill, in person.
