my trip to new york city is quickly approaching! i am looking forward to roaming the streets of new york in search of inspiration. that will not be hard to find...it's everywhere!!! the above photo is of a painting by ralph goings. yes, i said painting. it's not a photograph. i saw a gallery showing of his work from the 70's at a gallery in soho when i was in nyc a few years back. his photorealist paintings mainly consist of diners and old trucks. it was amazing to stand back and think you're looking at a photograph and then move forward until you're standing two inches away from the canvas to see the quick brush strokes that make up a hyperreal painting! that pie is making me hungry.
speaking of hungry, guess what renee gave me for my birthday? the professional chef book i wanted and blogged about!!! it is now part of my collection! thanks again, renee. i love it. :)
