  • President’s Day with George. William Birch (1755-1834) was an English miniature painter and enamel artist who emigrated to Philadelphia in 1794. He chose to create his George Washington miniature enamel on copper paintings after Gilbert Stuart’s portrait. The process was a game of roulette: painstakingly create the miniature, THEN fire it in the crude and uneven heating kilns of that era...with fingers crossed it wouldn’t crack and be destroyed. This 1822 enamel survived the kiln, and 197 more years bringing us to #presidentsday2019 🇺🇸. #williambirch #enamelart #miniatureportrait #americanart #georgewashington #georgewashingtonportrait

  • Factoid: Many people don’t realize just how extraordinarily talented American impressionist Childe Hassam (1859-1935) was as a printmaker. His etchings and lithographs were a hands on affair for him, and his pencil signature of a circle with his conjoined initials within always included “Imp” (imprinteur) to indicate he was both the artist AND the printer. No assistants, no outsourcing. Our 1920 etching “Anna” (not for sale) epitomizes the dawn of the roaring 20’s and Jazz age, evoking a time of both decadence and incredible creative breakthroughs in art, literature, poetry, theater, music and dance. The incised lines, black carving into white, are painterly and atmospheric - an impressionistic achievement of no small feat in that challenging medium. And despite the subject’s obvious beauty, we are also given a glimpse into her character by an artist of rare talent. #childehassam #americanprintmaking #etching #americanimpressionist #1920sfashion #jazzage #roaring20s

  • In 3rd grade we were given an assignment to write a paper on our favorite planet. I chose the moon. And my teacher handed back my masterwork with a note pointing out the moon wasn’t a planet. I told her it should be! It’s the coolest thing in the nighttime sky! Well, fast forward to this major exhibition which just open at @hudsonrivermuseum and is on my “to see” list. The 200-page catalogue is already ordered. We also happen to have some nice “moon-o-centric artworks” in our inventory here at CGH. My fascination with the moon hasn’t waned (pun intended!) since that dark day in 3rd grade. I still think the moon deserves Honorary Planet status. And don’t even get me going on Pluto’s downgrade to “frozen chunk of space ice” a decade ago! #HRM100 #hrmmoon #colorofthemoon #westchestercounty #hudsonrivermuseum #musingonthemoon

  • Pre-gaming my impending day at the gallery. Upper left: painting at the apartment reminded me it was time to break my fast. Upper right: Fire 🔥 called. Bottom: My favorite perch @rivertownhudson all set up for coffee ☕️ drinking and (if I’m lucky) some deep thinking. Something savory and something sweet soon... #breakfastsolution #coffeeboost #fireside #coffeethenwork
