amorously

Last night was "date night" (parents take turns hosting kids, other couples get a night out). Jack and I celebrated Valentine's with a visit to motel gallery, followed by sushi, followed by an attempt to get dessert at Pix Patisserie (too crowded), followed by crepes at Chez Machin, whew! (we also fit in a trip to Office Depot for a new mouse).

motel was having the amorously group show which was very sweet! There were works by my sister's friend Jill Bliss:

as well as some of my other favorite artists like Caroline Hwang (it was great to investigate her work up close):

and the lovely and delicate illustrations of Jen Corace:


Jack picked out this wee handpainted necklace by Jen for me. I LOVE it!
