It's been a hectic couple of weeks. Went to Seattle last week for a baptism (I'm a godfather!). Although I am out there frequently it was a nice chance to actually do some touristy things. I swung by the new Olympic Sculpture Park and while Richard Serra's massive steel behemoth 'Wave' was impressive I loved the more contemplative Louise Bourgeois sculpture/fountain titled "Father and Son". I'm told the story behind the work is that there was a  million-dollar bequest to the city of Seattle which stipulated that it be spent for a fountain which featured one or more realistic nude males? Ok, while that may cause some politicians to fret, the money was well spent on this commissioned work. Among the many great sculptures spread through the park there is an orange Alexander Calder piece titled "Eagle" that frames the space needle nicely and Claes Oldenburg's familiar Eraser which overlooks highway 99. I also swung by the Japanese Garden within the Washington Park Arboretum. I was last there in 1994 (wow). The Koi have gotten huge!

Also, last weekend was Frida Kahlo's 100 birthday. Or it would have been her 100th birthday. CHAC held a nice birthday party at which I had some amazing food prepared by Artist & Chef Tony Vecchio. This mans Creativity knows no limits.
