Larry Rivers

Larry Rivers depicts his mother-in-law who was his primary model at the time, while she was living with Rivers and her daughter in Southampton, New York. Admiration of the artist’s style, brushwork and palette equals my surprise to learn about his relationship with the model. I’m thinking how strange to use your mother-in-law of all people, as a sitter for your nudes.

Mermaid, by Liz Craft. Bronze, steel, paint.

She was part of the ”Mirror Cells” exhibition at the Whitney. When the exhibition ended on August 21st Becky decided to linger awhile. She loved the attention so much she couldn’t bear the thought of parting from one of Manhattan’s most creatively designed terraces.

With skeletons safely tucked away back into the closet, ’tis time for some serious glitter. Joy to the world! November marks the start of the Christmas Season and New York is slowly, methodically getting pretty for the grand finale. And I am going to enjoy all of it!
