visiting…
Gallery Henoch to see the gorgeous work of Kim Cogan at the urging of my girl P. in Berlin (who’s blog is as masterful as her art).
There’s always lots to see in Chelsea — but this work really gave me some serious butterflies. Maybe I’m partial to NYC landscapes? Or maybe its just as good as it looks.

But fun nevertheless.
continuing…
on to Nara.
Highlights:
Wild sacred deer eating from our hands at Tōdai-ji.
Bright yellow patches of ready-to-be-harvested rice.
Tiny beer glasses.
A life-changing bento box.
