Art and music

We are in Owl's Head, ME, at Jim and Mary's. Their house is now fully shingled and Jim and Mary are turning their attention to the garden and to landscaping.

Earlier today we went to one of our favorite museum's, the Farnsworth, in Rockland. It was a little disappointing, because two areas were closed down, awaiting new exhibits. But an exhibit of Japanese photographer, Koichiro Kurita, was worth the price of admission. His process of photographing, developing and printing is based on the salt paper and calotype processes of 19th c. Henry Fox Talbot. He has also been very much influenced by Henry David Thoreau. The results are stunning. I could have looked at his photographs all day.

We took a walk around Rockport, admiring the waterfront, the flowers and the architecture and the art galleries.
