11:23 AM, athens, greece
we arrived in athens this past saturday and are jsut settling in to the new time zone, with an 9 hour time difference from crestone, colorado.
the weather is beautiful!
the oil paintings were stretched yesterday, thanks to the help of a local artist friend of the gallery director, yiorgos. and the watercolor/gouache collages have all been framed under glass.
the show opens tomorrow night 8 pm. the final hanging will happen in about an hour at the gallery: genesis, which is conveniently located just 5 doors down the block on the other side of the street from our beautiful hotel: periscope.
i’m sitting in the hotel lobby looking out onto the street as i type this. there’s a surreal quality to it all, especially listening to the boring, mindless music that’s playing.
my cousin mindy and her husband marc arrived yesterday from new york. they’ve never been to greece, so we’re their guides during their one week stay. we’ll visit the more important museums. today i think will walk up to the acropolis & visit the spectacular acropolis museum overloooking all of athens.
