Studio Gallery

It's not exactly a suitable space to serve as art gallery. It wasn't bad either.

Last Thursday's Open Studio was an event that I hope to be able to repeat annually. It was a pleasure meeting people, making new connections and showing friends what I have been working on during the last few months. It took several days of intensive labor to get the house in exhibition mode. Far from ideal, it was well worth the effort and I think it looked acceptable.

Architectural Frivolity

The Paris Opera makes me think of a fancy chocolate box... totally unnessary but always pleasing that certain people thought about creating it and leaving it as a fancy gift to future generations.
