Like a new box of Crayolas!
I've mentioned before that I love this chair designed by Hans Wegner. (previous post here)
Just received an email note that Room and Board is having a sale---The Hans Wegner event. Not that I have it in my budget to purchase one of these chairs even with the discount. But I wanted to take a look. I was delighted to see all the new colors available for this classic chair of 1950's design! I posted photos of most below, but I think I missed one. You can take a look for yourself here.
Plum
White
Magnolia
Lilac
Kiwi
Grass
Juniper
Celery
Caspian blue
Caymen blue
Orange blue (just kidding, it's just plain Orange!)
Caribbean blue
Baltic blue
Crazy color love...I'm giddy!

A Peaceful Demonstration in Salt Lake City
at the federal court...
All photographs and the story are taken from the February 28 Salt Lake Tribune. See more here.
(Al Hartmann | The Salt Lake Tribune) Tim DeChrisopher, left, and his lawyers Ron Yengich and Pat Shea step from the Federal Court Building in Salt Lake City on Monday, Feb. 28, looking across the street to where several hundred people were rallying for DeChristopher. DeChristopher is accused of winning bids on more than a dozen drilling parcels in Utah with no intention of paying the $1.8 million tab. He said he disrupted the auction to help thwart the global climate crisis.Actress/activist Daryl Hannah showed up and demonstrated her support

Lots of chanting and singing from (global and) local supporters. (Hi, Joan!)

Two Favorite Things
Jazz music
Abstract Expressionist painting
Franz Kline, Mural ca. 1940's
Chief, Franz Kline, 1950 (Museum of Modern Art)
Coltrane "playing"
Coltrane in thought...(wife, Alice in background was a professional pianist), 1962.
Franz Kline, Street Scene, 1949
Franz Kline, Main, ca. 1949
Coltrane stretch, ca. 1957
Franz Kline, Figure 8, 1952
Coltrane was capable of playing melody...
Kline was capable of skilled representation...
But, I'm glad they ventured beyond conventions...

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!
My first cake decorating attempt during a group cake decorating "workshop" a few years ago.
I am celebrating the day by focusing on pulling together application materials for exhibits of my art work at four venues in the upcoming year!
