NYC Part Two

the whole experience of the new york art expo was a whirlwind

the building was filled with so many different artists

some appealing...some not so appealing

all in all it was a window into the world of art

and what appeals to the different personalities of our world

here are christina and i poking fun at her painting

there were some "live art" sessions during the weekend

christina was spotlight for one of those sessions

she did a session on encaustic painting

she involved the audience in the demo's

to give everyone who was interested in the session

a chance to participate and learn the technique

here is our friend amy from texas giving it a shot

the "altered art" canvas

if you would like to take a peek at a video from this session

one artist's work that caught my eye was 

Anna Razumovskaya

her paintings were so moving to me

and so romantic

i loved how she had her booth space set up

she had mannequins with her sketches as the dress

very unique

love

she was so kind to let me choose a 

sketch to take home as a keepsake

i chose the one below

love this

mannequins speak to me

after one long day we met up with the gals for a drink and dessert

so fun to catch up

on our last night there christina was invited to a cocktail party

that was being held at the Trump World Bar

we met this fellow "Sir Shadow"

he does amazing one line art

christina and i had the opportunity to chat with him

and we each came away with one of his pieces of art and a calendar

with his artwork and he was kind enough to take a photo with us too

here is his website

after all the excitement from the cocktail party

we met up with our texas/arizona gals for a late night snack

before we made the drive heading towards home

it was an amazing trip and i'm glad i got to tag along with christina

there is never a dull moment when i'm with that girl!
