The summer Season in Santa Fe is over, the Fall is beautiful (more sun and warmth than is usual for this area...just moved some pepper and tomato plants back outside, on this late October day! Never happened before.

We've been back from Europe for just over 3 weeks. We spent a week as usual in Berlin, still discovering new areas.   I also took the train to Usedom where I will have a show of my (especially anti-war)  paintings in the Summer of '17, staying overnight in Zinnowitz, a resort we had lived in for some months after the bombing of Peenemuende.  Unfortunately for me and the seagulls,  all of the beaches in that section of the island had high wireless, and the seagulls were nowhere to be seen.   I swam twice anyway in the Baltic on that short trip.   In Basil I looked for the gallery I has originally found Friedrich Geier's work in (Brigitta Leupin); it had moved across town to the Muensterplatz.  She was happy to see me, and suggested we might do a collaboration.
   Stone Heng and Avebury were memorable Highlights;  unlike most viewers we do not own a 'smartphone'  and   enjoyed the  experience by just being as totally present as possible.   We hope to return there again.  My husband, Dan kept pointing out that no billboards marred the English country side.   Santa Fe's City Council however, wants to place interactive electronic billboards all over Santa Fe.  I hope the public comes in numbers to the Nov. 9th meeting to show their displeasure at this further Disneyland-izing   of our historical, art and culture fostering city.             

We had a wonderful celebration of my 75th Birthday (10/19)  last night     with several artist friends like Eli Levin, Jerry West, Sandra Place and Siegfried Halus  among them.   The raffle to which I donated 8 works was fun and humorous.

THE next event for A SEA Gallery will be my show of NEW work, including Berkeley and Das Niebelungenlied, as well as Diamond Sky (from/with Bob Dylan)   The Sky in Eden.  November 12, 3 -6 pm
