I am going to Japan tomorrow, but had better catch up on recent travels before I forget.
In late May, we spent a very fine weekend in Phildelphia. We went to see the beautiful Cezanne exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. That was a great plkeasure with lots of wonderful pictures, interesting comparisons to make and opportunities to explore new ideas. The musuem is huge, full and daunting. Only we would spend every waking hour there.
We had 2 delicious dinners at Osteria on 640 N.Broad Street. The rhubarb sorbet and the pistachio ice cream were memorable (I remember since we had them twice). A bonus was having some time with Michael Olczewski, our artist friend who teaches at Moore College.
He introduced me to Michelle Liao and her stylishly arranged loft-gallery (310 North 11th Street) where we will have a trunk show in early October.
An irreverent family wedding in Chico California was the next trip. The excellent cake had flames decorating it; the bride was whistled to the “altar” and a wonderful time was had by all.
