An Object of Beauty

 

I just finished reading, An Object of Beauty, by Steve Martin. I love reading, especially about art related subjects.  The fun, and interesting story, is based on fictitious events in the NYC art world.

Here we are, standing behind the Ferry Bldg, with the Bay Bridge in the background!  One of the great things about blogging, is staying in touch with friends from all over the place. Be sure and see Amy's beautiful paintings on her blog, amyhillenbrand.blogspot.com.
