Renoir's "Claude Monet Painting In His Garden At Argenteuil"

Artist Jay Rolfe's photo of the day is another that is in the Renoir Landscapes exhibit currently at the Philadelphia Museum of Art until Sunday January 8, 2008. It was painted in 1873 by Pierre Auguste Renoir and is titled "Claude Monet Painting In His Garden At Argenteuil." It was painted at at time when Renoir and Monet lived near each other and often painted together and frequently the same subject. Artist Jay Rolfe selected this painting because it's a handsome painting. It is on loan to the exhibit from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford CT.

Happy New Years

2008.. can you believe it!!!! Where does the time go??

2008 is going to be a great year for Harry and I. We have lots of plans this year. The biggest one is our Commitment Ceremony this August. Harry's family and friends will be visiting during that time for vacation so it should be alot of fun. We have Comic Con in July, which Harry will be attending for the first time. We hope to expand our Ebay store to bigger and better. We want to decorate our house. Paint the walls, plant some flowers, and make our house a home. We also have Star Trek the Tour in February, three days of Star Trek geekiness.

I hope in 2008 I can relax a bit more and enjoy some time off with Harry. We didn't get to vacation in 2007 and seeing that most of the money will be going to our ceremony I don't see us vacationing much this year either. But getting away to the cabin costs nothing and does both of us so much good.

I wish you all a safe, healthy and fun 2008!!!!
