Aron Wiesenfeld exhibit at Arcadia Fine Arts

I've been wanting to check out Aron Wiesenfeld's show at Arcadia Fine Arts  for a while.  We couldn't make it to the opening because it was a bit too close to the opening at Like the Spice. In my ideal imaginary world, I actually lived in Soho, could take a train to Brooklyn, and walked to Arcadia gallery the next day to see the opening:)

DH has to work this weekend so he offered to drive us there last Wednesday.  Also, the gallery, via its twitter, told me that some of Wiesenfeld's works had left the building so I definitely needed to go there even sooner. After we found a parking garage, we walked to the gallery. The weather was quite nice to walk around Soho that day.  Right after we opened the gallery's door, we saw some of Wiesenfeld's works hung on the wall. I noticed that most of them were sold. Some of the sold ones still hung on the wall, but most of them weren't there anymore. However, there were still some of his old drawings and paintings hung on the wall.  The images in Aron Wiesenfeld's  drawings and paintings are alluring.  I couldn't help but wanting to see each image more because each one made me want to know more of the story since each image was like a fragment of a story.

It was also a treat to find many more beautiful artworks hung on the back of the gallery. The gallery showcases contemporary, representational artwork. You'll find paintings by Jeremy Lipking, Malcolm T. Liepke, Peter Greaves, Michael Klein, Joseph Todorovich, Steven Skollar, Nancy Depew, and many more when you visit Arcadia. I have to admit that checking out Arcadia's website, facebook to peek some paintings have been my guilty pleasure during my painting break, so I'm really glad we could finally make it there:)

I highly recommend checking out Arcadia Fine Arts if you're in the area. There will be a next show at the gallery "The New Faces Of Realism"  group show opening June 23rd. It should be a great show

DH took me to Mooncake Foods for lunch. We had  crawfish dumplings for starter, then  I had a tasty place of Octopus and Spinach Noodle Salad with spicy tamarind dressing while DH had Lemon Grass Shrimp. Pretty tasty and reasonably priced. We stopped by at Anthropologie for my pretty visual treat (there isn't Anthropologie in New Haven) and grabbed some desserts to go at CeciCela on our way to the parking garage. We got to CeciCela right when they were about to close, but one nice shop lady actually let us in...yayyy! We quickly picked our treats and left. Enough fun things, now it's time for me to retreat to my painting cave and focus on my drawing for next painting:)


Interesting colorful background:)
