They rented a room in the Theresa Hotel in Harlem, for reals.

I was fascinated by your painting of Kruschev and Castro with their chicken .. what things people get up to .. <br /><br />I heard someone recently talk about writing about 1962 - and thus Kruschev, Castro and Kennedy .. so your painting really captivated me .. I'll be posting about the author ..<br /><br />Cheers Hilary<br /><br />Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-41595937023179374532014-05-07T12:45:41.735-07:002014-05-07T12:45:41.735-07:00T Drecker, yes, go for it!

Christine, coloring with your son is a fabulous activity, and I'm sure he's absorbing all of your creative spirit, which will so benefit him later in life (and sooner too :) )<br />D Biswas, yes, it's a very meditative place, far removed from the hustle of NYC.Catherine Stinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131569196977321229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-4526255699894555672014-05-07T07:48:43.413-07:002014-05-07T07:48:43.413-07:00Gorgeous!

Unfortunately, with what little free time I have, I only have time for writing and the online work that comes with it. I used to do a lot of art myself. Drawing and painting. At least sometimes these days, I get to color with my kid!Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-81721747286670716222014-05-06T13:15:49.446-07:002014-05-06T13:15:49.446-07:00Mary, I think astronomy totally counts!

Neither is good for my hands, so I save my hands for typing. <br /><br />I like astronomy, otherwise I'm a bit of a workaholic.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167030264910213419.post-74957932827330040732014-05-06T07:25:34.727-07:002014-05-06T07:25:34.727-07:00River, jewelry making is a cool craft, and then yo...River, jewelry making is a cool craft, and then you get to wear your products.

I used to work metals for jewelry - before it got to be too expensive to continue. I do occasionally paint to get unstuck from a writing block and it really helps. Of course, you'll NEVER find me posting a photo of my poor attempts. :) Besides being extremely talented, you also hit the high spots with me in your use of color!
