My head is already on Cape Cod and my body is not far behind - we will pack up the car next Wednesday, June 11, and go to New York for the preview reception for the Affordable Art Fair. It's at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 135 West 18th Street from the 12th through the 15th. Then we'll leave straight from there to Truro. We used to make this trip from DC to the Cape leaving in the middle of the night all the time (so as to avoid traffic in NY) but in the past few years we have taken it a lot easier, so it will be intereting ro see if the bods are still capable. There are always motels, although they are against Mr. Weiss's religion. Anyway, I think this is probably the last piece I'll manage to finish in my studio here. It's an encaustic, 24" square and incorporates a sheet of rice paper that's been melted into the wax and gives it an interesting texture and a matte finish.
