There is a local artist here named Pete Sinjin.
He paints with Thor Wickstrom sometimes.
Anyhow he's an amazing painter and he had a show in Brooklyn.
I went with my friend Kedrin.
You can see his work here:
It was a beautiful show, and SO NICE to be at an art opening again!!
I met Pete, he is a lovely person. Wonderful energy.
I kept thinking something about him was vaguely familiar but couldn't place it until I was looking for his website to put on this blog with the instagram.
And I found it:
He's friends with Michael Chamberlain, who I do not know but I follow his youtube channel and binged on it pre-covid.
Pete is on there with Michael:
I guess it is a small world, and these guys all seem to know each other.
Pete is also down to paint together this summer.
That would be really cool.
David Nakabayashi was also there with his lady Jenny. I have mentioned him several times, he did that Union Square painting that blew my mind. David is also a super nice guy. He lives close to the show and invited me and Kedrin over afterward to show us paintings and meet the dog.
David is also down to paint together.
That would be pretty wonderful, to go painting with these guys.
I admit I feel a little weird being the only girl, and I'm also younger than all of them, but they are really nice and friendly, it's all about painting so I think it will be ok and not weird.
Thor did add me on a text thread with David and Pete and asked earlier this week of anyone wanted to join him painting. I couldn't because of work. But that was nice to be included.
It was really such a lovely evening and so good to be out.
It does fill the soul with energy to get out and about with fellow artists.
