DUMBO

This weekend my friend had an open studio in DUMBO.

I rat-sat for her several years ago when she went on an artist retreat.

She also went to Pratt, but not when I was there.

We haven't seen each other for a long time and it was so nice to see her again!

I love her work and I bought a print.

I was planning on painting after.... but I ended up not after all... it was really crowded, hot, and there was no place to set up without either being in the way or having people camp out and watch over my shoulder the whole time, and I ate that.  I can feel people watching.  It's not that I'm self-conscious, it's more about their presence being invasive, I can feel their attention.

I don't mind of people stay for a minute or 2, but for people to camp out and watch the whole process... I'm not in the mood.

And today I'm not n the mood for crowds.
