America 2010 … and a bit of Nicaragua

American Road Trip! The best … every time we do it, we love it and are amazed by the beauty and variety of this country. So, nine thousand miles and 60 days later have returned to Atlanta. (Well, we did fly from Houston to Nicaragua for a week .. to an incredible part of the country outside the colonial city of Granada, the Lago de Apoyo. The entire “trip within a trip” was lovely and fun.) Our drive in the U.S. was throughout the SouthWest, Tucson & El Paso to the West Coast, San Diego and along the Pacific Coast Highway, Big Sur, into Oregon, Taos & Santa Fe, with National Parks along the way…including the national park of Las Vegas on the return home. Lots of new images, of course!

Egypt and Rome …

Egypt was an amazing experience … everything you’ve ever thought it would be, it was. We had a chance to hear Dr Zahi Hawass, the Vice Minister of Culture of Egypt, try to explain in an hour thousands of years of Egyptian history. He alone was worth the trip. The Great Pyramid of Giza, the Sphinx, the Nile, the Valley of the Kings, and Queens! But most of all the warm and welcoming people of Egypt. And, of course, Dan on a camel!

On the way back to Atlanta we stopped for a week in Rome. Rome. A bit of cool weather and red wine and pasta were all welcome after the Egyptian desert. Because “when in Rome …”

Okay, we know the photo of Marion is not exactly like Audrey Hepburn, but it was a great “Roman Holiday”!

America, America!

What a wonderful summer it has been. We’ve only done shows in and around Chicago and, when we didn’t have time to drive to Atlanta in between … we explored some wonderful cities. We were able to visit Saint Louis and Milwaukee and see the kind of cities, parks, monuments and museums “beer money” could build! We’ve had days on Lake Geneva and Door County, Wisconsin. Perfect summer spots.

France & Italy …

Well … of course, the five weeks flew … with only two days of rain, and that was in St. Tropez, how bad could it be? (We kept the top down on the Peugeot anyway.) We are back in the studio printing and framing for the busy summer show schedule. We’ve had one show, the Atlanta Virginia-Highland Summerfest and our new images sold quickly. I take that as a sign we simply must go back for more!

Dan & Little Havana & Key Biscayne

admin — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 22:23:56 +0000

We couldn’t have asked for a better week on Key Biscayne, great weather, Lots Of Wind spent the week on the Key “getting ready” for the show in the park last weekend … A great little ‘old Florida” motel … on the beach. They are getting more difficult to find as land is taken over for high rises and condos. But there are a few … and we love them. Spent a few days exploring, of course … we are always on the search for the Best Cuban Sandwich in Little Havana. (Actually, we’ve never had a bad one!)

We spent a wonderful couple of days visiting Memphis … shooting some great Memphis sights, and sites… like Sun Records on Sam Phillips Boulevard. Shopping for antique frames, led by our guides, Shannon and Gerak, Marion’s nephew and his new bride. They are antique lovers and know all the spots! Lots of fun and ribs! And warm southern welcomes — a terrific city.

Dan and Kobe and LeBron

Okay … I thought I was on a frame-buying trip to Chicago and Cleveland. But when Marion’s sister Meredith called and suggested I make certain I was in Cleveland to catch the Cavaliers and the LA Lakers, I took her advice. The fact that she offered a floor seat only made the offer of seeing Kobe and LeBron a bit more enticing. So, for my first NBA game I was spoiled. It was great.

….Delray Beach

The weather was perfect, the setting was beautiful. Delray Beach was The Place To Be last weekend … with snow and cold covering most of the United States. We were pleased not to be in Atlanta … but we are back. It was 19 this morning. Why don’t we have a Florida show this weekend? Burr.

Delray Beach, Florida this weekend. Another great setting for an art show … along Atlantic Avenue. We are usually the first booth on the east side of the InterCoastal Bridge. If you have a problem finding us, please just call … we’ll give you directions, 404.355.2766.

See you soon!

Best,

The best of the New Year!

The art buyers and the wonderful weather made the weekend at the Las Olas Art show in Ft. Lauderdale a terrific one, a great way to start 2009.

Thank you all,

Dan & Marion
