Sanctuary in the Studio

On Wednesday I flew to NY, met Mimi at Grand Central, laughed our way through the play "The Thirty-Nine Steps," ate dinner at Junior's on Shubert Alley, and then went down to School of Visual Arts where Eileen teaches in the art therapy graduate program. She was the speaker in their ongoing lecture series; how lucky that I was in town for it! She gave a very interesting retrospective of her 21 years of providing art therapy for adolescent girls at a day program at Montague School in Brooklyn. Here she is answering questions after the lecture.

Mimi and I ended the long but lovely day with the train ride up to Rye Brook for a good sleep. Other highlights of the 5-day trip: on Thursday - going out to dinner with Mimi and Poppy to his favorite restaurant, Frankie and Louie's; on Friday - visiting Art on Shelter Island; seeing Marianne, Andy and Amanda on my way out to SI; on Saturday - dancing at the Murphy wedding in Baiting Hollow with my parents and siblings.
