Saint Nicholas in all of his Glory

Gerard David, Three Legends of St Nicholas, 1500

National Gallery of Scotland

Read about the true story of Santa Claus at the St. Nicholas Center website and view a gallery of masterpieces starring St. Nicholas (like the one above by Gerard David).

Fra Angelico painted this saint many times, too. Nick was fond of saving children. He wore pink gloves, carried a fancy gold staff and, in some cases, I think he could fly, too. I like this image. It's medieval-ly strange and beautifully painted.

Art Basel Miami Report from THE SMART SET

My Mom went to Drexel University. Today, I found an interesting online magazine, sponsored by Drexel U., as I was searching for articles about Art Basel Miami 2007. It's called "The Smart Set". It has a great-looking masthead which appears to be straight out of the 1920's (or even earlier). Morgan Meis is reporting from Miami and he seems to be a very funny man, so I will be checking back to see what he has to say as he makes his way through the fair day-by-day.

Here is his first installment: Art Basel Miami Beach Day 1 .

I wonder if he will make it to the KNOW exhibition at the Art Now Fair in the Claremont Hotel between now and Sunday evening. So much to see, so little time. I hope he does because that is where I am showing my two small paintings at Mark Murphy's booth number 215.

They blogged my complete"Banjo Gal" outfit! Sweet!

I knew she was a high fashion gal. This is what blogging is all about, eh? I didn't know there were actually places to buy B&W polka dot shoes or giant dice. I just made it all up when I painted "Banjo Gal" a few years ago.

Sleeping under Clouds

I bought this today at Macy's. It's freezing here! The winter season in this part of Oregon can be penetratingly damp to the bone. This comforter is "almost down" by Calvin Klein - Khaki collection. I was afraid that I would be allergic to a real down comforter, so I bought this and it's soooo soft and inviting. Sweet dreams for half price... like sleeping under clouds. Maybe I will be in a good mood when I wake up tomorrow, ya think?
