Up close and in the garden!

Had a few minutes to appreciate my wifes garden a couple days ago and got up close to a few flowers and a buzzing intruder! -- BL

I wanted to take a moment and thank all of the wonderful people who came by to visit me in my studio
during the Open Studio Weekend in Long Island City! I enjoyed many great conversations, interesting questions about my work, comments, etc. I appreciate all of the feedback and compliments! Contact me at any time and arrange for a private studio visit if you would like....all of the work seen in my studio is for sale. Thanks again!

MORE! (From HOWE CAVERNS) Such a cool underground experience!

Howe Caverns

     I had the chance to take a few days off, and took a ride upstate to check out Howe Caverns. (Many people have done this when they were kids.) We had a great time.

     After dropping done into the earth about 160 feet (via an elevator) we wandered into quite an alien looking underground environment! Somewhat cooler than above (bring a jacket) and often feeling drops of water from the walls, we proceeded on many walkways (nicely paved) to see such cool rock formations,  tunnels, it felt as if we were WAY back in time!

     Even had a boat ride... you are underground a little over an hour and towards the end there is a somewhat narrow passageway which runs about 100 feet… (you can take another route if you don't like tight spaces).  Wow! Check it out sometime!

     Here are a few photographs. -- BL

2012 Long Island Biennial Show at the Hecksher Museum

Well, we attended the reception for the 2012 Long Island Biennial Show at the Hecksher Museum this past Saturday. Wow!  It was mobbed!  Must have been 500 plus people there for the show and the Max weber Show! Attached are a few pictures from the show... my piece is in one of the pictures... impossible to NOT have people in the way... we plan to return at a later date and really look at the show... with fewer people around! -- BL
