Austin Art
Yesterday we were invited to a lovely home for an art exhibit and party. The home, perched in the hills off The High Road, had a Zen feel. Our friend Katy Nail's paintings had been hung all over the house making for a delightful show of house and art. She appears here in the bathroom with a painting she calls "Beyond Marfa." She is wearing some awesome boots and a poncho from Guatemala embroidered with many birds. The party was packed with interesting people including Katy's mother, Frances Nail, an author; and her daughter, Carrie Rodriguez, a singer. We also talked to Johnny Guffey, the infamous and famous longtime waiter at Jeffrey's, and the McAfees, the owners of Barr Mansion.

I'm impressed by both your friend and her paintings! I paint a little myself and this kind of art is actually my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLove this artists' work and she looks a pretty interesting lady too.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting post.
and in response to your question, why not, one day in Austin, Texas. Thanks for the comment!
My dream is to go to a bunch of places I've seen in Daily Photo sites. Maybe in 2009.
