Back At The MFA and Loving it! I am very happy to be taking the second part of my acrylic class at the Museum Of Fine Arts in Boston! Today I had a ball! First I got to paint at the MFA! (We know how very cool that is!) Next I had delicious, mouth watering pizza at Pizza Regina in Boston's historic North End! The North End is home to the great American Revolutionary Patriot, Paul Revere! It is also Boston's great Italian American neighborhood! (And so much more!) I ended the day at the "Boston Garden" watching the Boston Celtics basketball team play against the Miami Heat! Can't get much better than that! (Oh, and drove home in a late night snow storm! Yes, we are still getting snow in New England!) I was very happy to reconnected with my wonderful art teacher Ria, and my newest great art buddy Nicole! The last photo in this post is one of Nicole's latest fantastic creations! Enjoy!  |
| "My Childhood Church, The Church Of The Most Holy Redeemer" Acrylic Canvas 24" x 36" (Very early stage of the painting. Certainly not finished yet!) The Most Holy Redeemer church is the oldest Catholic church in East Boston! A beautiful building with many beautiful childhood memories. Let's see where this painting takes me. |

| Pizza Regina in Boston's Historic North End! Probably the best pizza on the planet. |
 |
| Seeing The Boston Celtics play basketball at the "Garden" has to be one of the best experiences ever! I love Boston and anything Boston! (Bostonians pronounce "Garden" "Gahdehn!") |

| Guest artist and one of my best art buddies, Nicole, started this wonderful piece in class! She said she is not finished yet. It certainly is looking fantastic! Hard to know when a great work is ever finished! Good luck Nicole! Thank you for visiting my blog. Please help make my day and leave a comment! Savor every minute! Your art buddy! Michael |
Painting, pizza, Celtics, and snow....that's quite a day!!! Can't wait to see what you do with this!

Bonjour Martine!
DeleteMerci beaucoup my friend!
You are right about the pleasures of life! Live every day to the fullest!
My team, The Boston Celtics, lost. With only two seconds to go they had a chance to win but alas it wasn't meant to be! But the game was exciting. Such a great game. All were winners!
Votre ami!
Michel

Ciao Michael,
ReplyDeletebella la chiesa in questo stile colorato e molto creativo! E bello anche il lavoro non ancora finito che assomiglia a una catena di montagne infinita e dove può spaziare la fantasia!
Mi piace il tuo lavoro e apprezzo molto anche i tuoi commenti davvero simpatici!
Ciao, abbracci, Floriana
Ciao my dear friend Floriana!

☓ Celtics, aaah this is a problem... I am a Lakers fan.
Keep painting...
Hello My Wonderful Laker Fan Art Buddy David!
DeleteYour comment made my day! I am still laughing and smiling! I love all the symbols and appreciate all the work involved!
I miss the "Old" Laker and Celtic rivalry!
Magic Johnson and Larry Bird! Wow! Much fun!
Art on my friend and thanks!
Michael
Yes, that was certainly one of the best rivalry's in all of sports. Back and forth over a decade or so. I do forgive ya for bein' a Celtic fan, kiddin' ya of course LOL ; ) !
DeleteBesides paint is thicker than sports alliances... right?
Keep painting...
You sound so downright happy, Michael! And your happiness truly brings a smile to my face!
ReplyDeleteHello Susan!
ReplyDeleteSo very, very good to hear from you!
I am happy! I make an effort to enjoy every second on the planet! I am so glad my little post made you smile! How wonderful and so very cool is that!
We are still having snow in my neck of the woods and I think I am one of the very few who enjoys it! We artists can be a strange breed!
I love your work Susan and now I must rush to see your latest blog to enjoy!
Keep smiling and making great art Susan!
Your art buddy!
