avramThis weekend is Jersey City Arts Festival weekend. I skipped out on most of the festivities and headed straight for the heart of things: 111 First Street, the Powerhouse Art District, an old factory converted into artists’ studios. Lots of good stuff. I saw some abstract oil paintings that got me reconsidering how I felt about surface treatment, and some watercolors that made me want to take up watercoloring again.
After three hours I came out (having seen maybe half of what there was to see) tired with aching feet, and headed over to Ground to cure both conditions. There were musicians performing, and I sat and sketched. The dark-haired woman with the microphone in the second image, below, is Kama Linden, who I liked enough to buy her CD. I wound up typing her track info in for the CDDB — oh, the responsibility!
