I know I need to make it over to the Metropolitan Museum, hopefully on Friday night or Saturday, to see what the New York Times terms Splendid Threads Off the Walls of Monarchs along with the Rembrandt show.   As far as the tapestries, I’m wondering how many are by Rubens?

“…After the Rubens tapestry made its careful journey up the Met’s grand staircase, it was delivered into the waiting arms of a team of conservators, riggers and technicians. First the tapestry was laid flat on the gallery floor, which had been covered with acid-free paper. Then it was loosely folded in pleats, to ensure that the fabric wouldn’t rip. Conservators were on hand inspecting its condition. “

I’m very much looking forward to seeing the Rubens tapestries in this show, along with the rest of it.

Been so busy getting ready for my trip late this week to Washington DC for the Emetrics Marketing Optimization Summit that it’s been  harder to focus on Art (since my last painting on Sunday, that is).   But one thing did change this week … I bought an iPod Touch, or iTouch, and put some of my videos and paintings on it - I’ve always wanted to do this.
