What makes an open studio event such an interesting excursion is that there is no filter on what you are to see, no one taste or theory shaping the presentation - everything genre, size, shape , medium is on display for you to discover something to think about , talk about, or fall in love with. So on to the art of the portrait with 2 residents of 551 West 21st and a former studio-mate and good friend who invites you to her new studio a short walk away.

The Violinist by Mercedes Nugent-Head, Studio 406

By the time this appears online I will be over my head in art and sloshing around in the slush between the Armory Show and Scope so I can tell you all about it later!
