Art in Bloom

Yellow Canary's Kristen Sekowski was honored with the invitation to present at The Cincinnati Art Museum's Art in Bloom; an annual event in which designers interpret works of art from the museum's collection. Kristen's inspirations were the Dutch Masters Still Life collection.

 Ars longa, vita brevis (Art is long, life is short)

 Painted images prolonged the experience of nature.  Finely painted flowers brought tremendous pleasure during a cold Dutch winter.  Permanence was considered a great virtue of art-it outlasts nature. (From Still Life Painting http://www.nga.gov/kids/DTP6stillife.pdf).

One Last Burst of Fall: Autum Party at Gorman Heritage Farms

Yellow Canary was thrilled to be a part of a recent Fall party that was held at Gorman Heritage Farms.  The weather was wonderful and the rustic farm was the perfect setting!

Ah, Mr. Darcy

A little Jane Austen break...

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.

Diner en Blanc - Cincinnati

(From the Website) At the last minute, the location is given to thousands of friends and acquaintances who have been patiently waiting to learn the “Dîner en Blanc's” secret place. Thousand of people, dressed all in white, and conducting themselves with the greatest decorum, elegance, and etiquette, all meet for a mass “chic picnic” in a public space.

Born 25 years ago in Paris...

Launched with just a handful of friends by François Pasquier over 25 years ago, Paris' Dîner en Blanc now assembles nearly 15,000 people each year. The French capital's most prestigious sites have played host to it: the Pont des Arts, the Eiffel Tower site, Place Vendôme, the Château de Versailles, the Esplanade de Notre-Dame, the Esplanade des Invalides, the periphery of the Place de l'Étoile, the Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde and this year:  Le Louvre Pyramid and the Trocadéro Esplanade at the ame time! The Paris police tend to tolerate this ‘wild' gathering, if not perhaps even wishing they could join in!
