Happy Monday!
Last Friday evening, I strolled through the annual Columbus Arts Festival, which featured artists of all variations from all over the country (plus a couple international artists). Each artist’s booth was set-up like its own pop-up gallery, giving people a few seconds to glance in and either dedicate their time or simply walk by onto the neighboring collections.
I’m happy to say I struck gold with a painter from Chicago! She imaginatively brought bottles of red and white wine and its accompanying foods to life.
The Columbus Arts Festival is a great tradition in Columbus, just like the occasional visit to a museum. The opportunity to calmly observe, reflect, ponder and even show off some knowledge is a wonderful exercise of the mind.
Common protocol with most art is the notion that there is no one “right” answer. Although, with some art, as Hemingway might put it today, “if you have a good insight it’s because it is an honest insight.”
In Gil’s case, he knew the honest truth and therefore was absolutely right in his interpretation in the rarely seen, “art burn.”
Have a Great Week & Visit a Museum!

The French are known for romance, sumptuous foods, wines, relaxed attitudes, cafés, music and the list goes on and on like a peaceful late afternoon stroll through the historic city streets. Paris is beautifully nicknamed, “La Ville de Lumière,” which translates to “The City of Light.” For anyone who has visited the picturesque capital of France, the description is indéniable.
Of course, one of the staples of Paris, and France in general, is the fashion industry. The models wear clothes and attitudes like it’s their, well, job. And one of the avenues used to bring a particular style to the public is creating a storefront window display in a popular cross-section of shoppers and tourists.
There was one storefront display that caught my eye with its acute attention to detail in its mesmerizing recreation of a French footballer.
Vraiment magnifique! Et il semble si réaliste…
