AS I am traveling abroad getting to my ultimate destination, words are short...
I had a GREAT night in New York attending the 150th Anniversary of The Artists' Fellowship at The National Arts Club, honoring Everett Raymond Kinstler, N.A.. I was thrilled to be among 150 small painting panels up for auction to raise money for The AF. Some GREAT artistic company to be in!
I even got to stay at The National Arts Club for the first time ever. A treat to really be able to look at the artwork on the walls there late at night in my pyjamas. Sshhhh...
But most of all in my brief post, I have to say don't miss this link. The day before the above event, a special event happened in the portrait world ...see coverage of Everett Raymond Kinstler's incredible portrait of baseball legend Tommy Lasorda being unveiled into the Smithsonian Institute!!! I had a tear in my eye.

You are always so humble, which is what makes you so special! The painting of Lasorda is phenominal!! I have worked with Mr. Lasorda, Tommy, as he prefers to be called on numerous occassions as well as Steve Harvey....one day I will have to scan an image I have with him that I actually like!! You will without a doubt have a stupendous adventure in France...Painting, enjoying some good wine/cheese and what ever delights the region has to offer!! Looking forward to reading your blog....which is always entertaining! Hope to see you upon your return xo R
I'm so glad you are having such a great time!!!
I had seen the article about Lasorda's painting by Mr. Kinstler, but enjoyed reading it again.
What a gift you have to enjoy his friendship and mentoring.
Always love reading of your adventures!!
Mr. Kinstler's portrait of Lasorda is as good as painting gets! Masterful in the extreme.
