Move over MONET.…….and PICASSO………someday Sotheby’s may be selling these kids art.
Kids from seven schools……kindergarten to 5th grade……. entered and were chosen by their teachers to exhibit.
It was a delight to see the kids faces when they saw their art pinned to the wall.
On Friday, Don and I dropped in at GILA’S for a nosh. ……[on East 23rd street].
GILA’s menu is authentic Mediterranean…….and worth the schlepp on the 23rd street crosstown bus to get there.
Her rugelach is sublime……….puff pastry, strawberries, raisins, walnuts and a touch of love.
It is a simple Continental Cafe…………no pretense………. just delightful cuisine.
GILA lets her walls serve as a gallery for students down the street at The School of Visual arts. This painting [a New Yorker] was on exhibit.
MEET THE ARTIST: Paul Thiesing…….a student in the Illustration Department at the SVA.
Paul’s painting is now in our collection……..on the wall of my art studio………hanging next to the Picaasso. Marie Laurencin [Picasso’s lover ] is the painting in the bottom right corner.
This gallery contains 33 photos.
