The Art I Saw in Buffalo, NY 2015

A tiny Georges Seurat Study for La Grande Jatte from 1884-5. At the beautiful Albright-Knox Gallery.

Vassily Kandinsky's Fragment 2 for Composition VII, 1913. Also at the Albright-Knox.

Jim Hodges' Look and See, 2004. In the courtyard of the Albright-Knox, it reflects off of, and provides vistas through to, the original museum structure.

Jaume Plensa's Laura, 2012. Albright-Knox.

Star Gazer by Charles Cary Rumsey from the turn of the last century. Found at the Burchfield Penney Art Center. Like Laura it's made of luminescent, glistening marble.

The Trickster by Bill Stewart, terra cotta, glaze, and mixed media, 2013. Part of the "Art in Craft Media 2015" exhibition at the Burchfield Penney Art Center.

An untitled porcelain sculpture by Erin Furimsky, which is also part of the "Art in Craft Media 2015" exhibition at the Burchfield Penney Art Center. Erin will participate in a UNI Gallery of Art exhibition titled "Women's Work: An Insight into Nature, Beauty and the Domestic Object" during January and February of 2016.

Horizontal (Vaakasuora), a six-channel video installation from 2011 by Finnish artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila. The artist's retrospective exhibition "Ecologies of Drama" at the Albright-Knox is an amazing immersive experience.

Thanksgiving in NY, 2015

Kimber, Matt, and me at Thanksgiving dinner.

Our Thanksgiving table courtesy of the lovely Anello family of Newark, New York (near the famed Erie Canal). Kimber's mom Donna is seated closest to the camera, Matt and Kimber are seated to the right, and Julia Hope-Anello wearing a flower looks on. I had a wonderful time!
