We had kind of a crazy weekend in Palm Springs - what was originally going to be a quiet get-away to celebrate our third anniversary turned into going out en masse (in a limo!?) with our friends who also happened to be there. I'm so glad, because we actually made it to a cool art opening at Steven Janssen gallery, and the opening was for Steven's own work. It's cool stuff, colorful and energetic, totally abstract. The friends we were with own some of his work so they were like kids in a post-modern candy store.
The works I really loved aren't on his site, though many other great works are, like this one, "Mantrap". In the ones I was really drawn to, he used enamel paints to create big, smooth, round vibrant bulbs of color, layered over an acrylic painted background. They were really lovely in a sort of organic way.
Must give a shout out to one of our all time favorite hotels, the Korakia. Even though it appears to no longer be a secret (lots of poolside peeps there!), it's still one of the most peaceful and beautifully designed places we've stayed. We even got the same room we had for honeymoon. Ooh la la.
