Philip Seymour Hoffman is arguably the best actor around: he is never the same twice - he truly becomes the character in whatever role he inhabits and is totally believable. Meryl Streep is Meryl Streep, but the movie is excellent.
Greek lunch and then, after a brief visit to my ma, a _uick stop at Whole Foods, and another phone session with verizon.net's robot and finally, a real person in the Phillipines, I couldn't tell you where the day went. Oh, I guess I just did.
The stop at Whole Foods was for crackers and their famous artichoke spinach dip, preceded by a stop at Amanti Wine. Isn't this a gorgeous shop? It is owned by a woman and they have wines from $10 to $xxx.00+. I bought a lower priced wine for the opening - but it feels expensive because of the surroundings - LOL.
The wine, etc. is for tomorrow's opening of new year= new yearnings, an exhibit by 12 NJ artists. Among them, Hollie Heller, Diane Savona, Judy Langille, and yrs truly (see one of the pieces below)
artists' reception from 1-4 at

On Monday, I am hanging another exhibit in NJ by the same 12 NJ artists in another venue. A busy month. Good thing we all have plenty of art to show.
As usual, I am up past my bedtime. Pix of the exhibit tomorrow.

Hello Rayna
I like all the films with Meryl Streep, she's one of my favourite actress. And I like your piece very well.

Holy Crow! (not a reference to the film) This piece made me sit up and think ART for the first time in ages.It's remarkable!
I have been in a pure funk and you have snapped the Whip in a big way. Thank You!
Oh, this is an exiting peace! I'm following Deb's remarks! If there was a title wanted, I'd call it lamps and fences. The radiance of the bright spots is stunning.
Oh Gawd Rayna..........that piece is smashing!!! I love, love, love it!!
Thanks for the movie review. Both you and Gerrie give it high marks, so I will buckle and go see it. I love both PSH and MS, so why haven't I seen it already?
You are a busy lady. Make sure you get your sleep and eat right! LOL
xo
oh, and keep up the pedicures, as I know they give you such pleasure
Congrats Rayna! I might have to make a road trip to see this exhibit.
Rayna,
If you get a chance, pick up a copy of "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn. You'll relate _ell _ith all your missing letters. It's one of my favorite books, but people think I'm nuts when I describe it to them.

Wanted to wish you a Hppy New Year Rayna! I'm loving your (my) book! We're gonna have an awesome year, aren't we?
Great piece. Love the purple/blackish lines and the glowing diagonal light. Congrats on the shows, sounds like a diverse group of artists. Wish I could be there.
piece, I meant to write.
Peace!
I loved "Doubt" as well--excellent acting all around. As you pointed out, the only problem is that Meryl Steep is so Meryl Streep. Hoffman is in a different league. You should also see "Milk". It's amazing. Sean Penn didn't play a part. He seemed to become another person. There was never a single moment when I could see the actor, only the character.
