This one really wowed me. I'd never seen it before. It's as close to a portrait than any other Hopper I've seen. A ballerina mending a slipper?
More on the exhibition in the next couple of days. It's good to be back in Massachusetts, though much colder than the city. We stayed in Soho and got around Little Italy and Chinatown a good deal. The hustle and bustle is interesting to watch as is the experience of looking squarely into a trash bin full of live frogs! :-)
And what do the Smiths have to do with New York City? Nothing...and...everything.
Smile as if you're Mona Lisa, kids.
"And if you've got five seconds to spare I'll tell you the story of my life..."
So much stuff to love in this post. Hopper is one of my favorites. And the Smiths? I always think of New York City when I hear them. I'm glad you had a good time. Welcome home.

ReplyDeleteSounds like an amazing trip for [basically] a country gal - I'm totally jealous, and looking forward to seeing the rest of the evidence of your transgressions!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back home. That is a great portrait and I'll look forward to your trip review.
ReplyDeleteAah, The Smiths. The soundtrack of my 80's. Untouchable.
ReplyDelete3 days in New York? Sounds amazing. I can't imagine.
Thanks for the post card Gina! Your description of the city is priceless. gg
