BEST INTENTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT THIS POST would have appeared a month ago, but I lost track of the disc. But here they are, late but fun. As I meandered around the art fair which was April 30th to May 3rd this year, I made shots of some of things that caught my eye. I have decided to show a few images even though I cannot remember the name of gallery. I apologize in advance for this shortcoming and any mix ups or errors.

If Art Chicago 2011 follows the same route of quality as this year, it will be something to (again) mark your calendars for.

That is not artist Lori Field posing next to her piece at Art Chicago. I know because I am artist Lori Field. The person in the picture is Phyllis Bramson, another artist with Claire Oliver Gallery and she is standing next to her painting.

Arrrrgh. My humble apologies Lori. Just fixed it. Sometimes, late at night, you just lose it! Of course, it's Phyllis— a delightful person and wonderful artist!
