We had a nice litle trip to Milwaukee...we ate at a few of our old favorite places, toured the neighborhoods that Rich lived in and visited the Milwaukee Art Museum where I was very inspired by the works of:John Wilde, Alan Davie, Milton Avery (painting below), Edgar Tolson (sculpture below) and Gabriele Munter.

Top photo...sketching on the drive up on Sunday, you'll notice this is one of those sketch book pages that has to span 3 days..that's what happens when I get behind. Snapshots from the trip below:
where they serve your enchiladas on a paper plate...no muss no fuss. Ta
sted just like I remembered and I don't think they've raised the price in the last 17 years.

Sorry to mix the food with the art, Typepad has me using a new beta site that is making it very tricky to layout the images with the text. Have to see if I can get my old format back.

That's Rich in front of Sydney HiH...the building where we met. His band the Psycho Bunnies had a practice space (where he was living very primitively!) and they often played in a bar in the basement called The Unicorn. It looks like Sydney Hih's days are now numbered. Other treats...Kopps Frozen Custard...Butter Pecan..mmmm. These cows overlook the parking lot. A fun little get away..I've been playing serious catch-up after excursions 2 weeks in a row. Suddenly my show in Kansas City is only a week away! It will be a working weekend for me...but I'm looking forward to it!
