So, yesterday, I had a wonderful, kinda impromptu meeting with New Jersey visual artist Joe LaMattina. We got together for coffee and a chat about art and the art of making art. It was a wonderful and much-needed break, a momentary escape from the craziness of life. And it was yet another reminder of how art, art talk, or art-making can be therapy, especially nowadays.
Also, I got to pick my own piece of art by Joe LaMattina. Here it is:
I’ll leave it at that for now. I believe that we need these kinds of art moments, especially with the holiday season upon us.
And speaking of holidays, here, in the U.S., this coming weekend is Thanksgiving weekend. And so, I wish a safe and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
Also, to my readers, as always, thank you for stopping by!
