Summer hours.

A postcard retrospective, and signed posters left over from Russell DeYoung's show.

The happiest girl on the block.

Welcome to eyebuzz. Please, come on in.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

Dear Lisa and Maria,

Thank you for coming into the gallery today. And snapping me out of my Flickr-induced trance. And bringing (buying) me an essential cup of tea. And making me laugh. And inviting me to lunch (sorry Lisa), or to sit in your back yard (that's better, right?). And for making my day.

I totally forgive you for calling me a "townie" last summer.

Best wishes,
Tara

Road trip::Woodstock NY

Road trip with a purpose: to bring back the work for Bill Mead's next eyebuzz show, starting May 14.

Years ago, in Provincetown, Bill was making paintings with a vessel motif: mostly teapot shapes. They became so admired, coveted and sellable, that he was turned off from making them any more.

Until recently. He has come back to the abstracted still lifes of vessel shapes, with much success. His next show at the gallery will be made up of recent works in this theme.

Here are some shots from Bill's current studio outside of Woodstock, NY.

We also had a tour, with a very cute guide, of the "green" house Bill has been building for the last year or so. We look forward to the next studio visit, when the "fours" are almost "five", and the "new house" is home.

::Jennifer Judd-McGee's show will run until May 8.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

We're having the opening reception for Jennifer Judd-McGee later in the show than usual, so come in and visit us this Third Friday to see her work. And keep us company.

Sweet Grass Grill will be open for dinner that night, too. We were treated to some pre-opening samples at the bar*,while the chef was warming up the kitchen this past weekend. So.so.good.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.

*Yeah, you heard me right. We were at the bar. We actually went out. Alone. Together. Yippee!

Third Friday. Cooler than expected, and we had expected that this would be a night when people, fed up with being penned in, would come out.

Cool out, tonight, but people.came.out.

Thank you, to all of you who did. When the last of you had left, Tim said: "We had a party at eyebuzz tonight."

And we had. Met new people, and rediscovered people we've known forever.

This is what we had in mind, years ago, when we first dreamt of a place of our own, in a community we are a part of.

Tonight made us fall in love with Tarrytown, all over again.

Our view, tonight.

Thanks for reading.

This is our town, on a freaky warm February evening, a few days before Valentine's Day.

MLK Jr. day. No school. Soft snow on and off all day. Lots of show prep. Lots of help.

You can see Molly's Obama on the shelf. He'll be displayed properly by tomorrow.

In one of those perfect coincidences, the video we have as part of the show (by Marcy Freedman), features finger puppets reading testimonials by more than fifty people on why they voted for Obama. Some of my favorite ones:

I voted for Obama because I now understand the redemptive power of the vote.

I voted for Obama because I am hungry for intelligence.

I.am.an.Obama Mama.

Here's some of that help I mentioned:

I got lucky with these birds. I walked out front, and hit the right button just as they were all taking flight. I stood out there periodically for the rest of the afternoon, and never got them to do this again at the instant I was ready. They had their own agenda, which did not include me.

This couple were exceedingly interesting, and interested in the gallery. It made my whole day worthwhile. They had more to say about art, and commerce, and psychology, than a shelf of books. They promised to come back, and I'm hoping they do.

I've never opened the back door, before today. There's a whole other view from there. I've lived here my whole life, and Tarrytown keeps showing me different corners of herself.

My view, today. Thanks for reading.
