Weekend of Food & Art

I had a very nice day in the city on Friday except for the freezing cold weather. This is insane. Where the hell is Spring? Before the city we decided to randomly stop at Carlo's Bake Shop in Hoboken. First time I have been there. The line wasn't too long & the prices were like any regular bakery which was really nice. We purchased some cupcakes(vanilla/resse's/red velvet), cannoli's & a cookie. The cannoli's were so good. I love all cannoli's, but these were extra delicious. Fresh & tasty. "Love at first bite" is right! Two of the people from the show we ended up seeing in the bakery, not Buddy though.

After that delicious cannoli we headed into the city. The MoMa was beautiful all around. I definitely plan on going again. We got there a little later than planned so seeing every room of art was impossible, but we saw most. Here is just SOME of the pieces I loved... (CLICK PHOTOS TO VIEW BIGGER)

     

      

And two of my favorite photograph's...

I got inspired to cook & draw after my long day out. My Saturday included buying some charcoal pencils at Michael's & making some yummy pot pies for the family. I don't think I've used these pencils before. They are a little hard to work with, but I like them & will learn as I go. I started off with something basic & I plan to draw something more detailed next time.

I stuffed them with peas, corn, onions,
potato soup, mushrooms & chicken.

The Start of Something Good

I always wanted to paint. It seemed very therapeutic and fun. Ever since the show Work of Art on Bravo it's  been on my mind. Art is such a beautiful thing. Photography has always been something I was passionate about. I am constantly taking pictures. But with being out of work I decided to go for it. To try something new! I went to Michaels yesterday and got a lot of supplies. I didn't get an easel just yet because I was unsure how I would like painting in general. Turns out I love it. An easel will definitely be something I purchase in the future.

This is my very first painting. I am excited to do all different kinds of paintings within some time. I wanted to start with something basic though.
