Seattle Cool Thing #1

One of the neat things we did in Seattle was visit the Lisa Harris Gallery near Pike Place Market, on a recommendation from aforementioned Frommer's Seattle 2005. They were featuring the recent work of Kent Lovelace, which was primarily oil on copper...

Painting on metal with oil...is a technique dating from the 15th C. Renaissance in Europe, but is uncommon in contemporary painting. Lovelace, who was familiar with copper plates from his many years as a master printmaker, has used them as “canvases” for the past seven years...combines the reflective quality of the copper with the vehicle of oil to create atmospheric paintings with a strong physical presence.

Dordogne was one of my favorites - too bad it was sold or I would have totally dropped $2100 for it.

• Dordogne is the region in France we visited last spring. It is home to the caves of Lascaux and the Dordogne river. Funny you should like that painting, which by the way is fantastic! Mom

• Hey, when did you change it from the Myth of the First Mover's Advantage? I miss it a whole lot.
