Well hello hello!!!
I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is now less than two days away... where has the time gone??
Mamma’s been super busy, as always... and sadly under the weather! Though good news!! Literally a week and a half ago, we FINALLY received our notice to close!!!!! That is huge, as it spells an end to this nomadic lifestyle we’ve been leading for the past year, which I do NOT recommend to anyone.
Barring all of this, I wanted to share some recent goodies that we’ve engaged in with the boys, particularly this gem of an experience at the Jackson Pollack house last weekend, organized by the Children’s Museum of the East End.
I don’t know who was more excited, myself or my little men (okay most definitely me). We got to visit and tour the house shared by Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner, then go to the famous “barn” where Pollock used as his studio (original drip paint still on the floor!!!!), and lastly, the kiddos got to create their own Pollock art work, how cool was that!
The tour and guide was given by fellow artist and children’s book author Joyce Raimondo, who was simply excellent and really knows her stuff. The little ones loved the art and I was really impressed with how well behaved they all were during the sit down part where we even watched original videos of Pollock painting (in black and white of course).
Even hubby was jealous! As he had to skip out on the barn experience as he had to take our little man for a walk (aka Nap). All in all, it was truly a unique and wonderful experience, and we cannot wait to go back!
The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center is located at 830 Springs Fireplace Road, East Hampton
