Saks, St Patrick’s, and Old Glory. Paging Childe Hassam… A sunny and beautiful New York moment. #saks #stpatrickscathedral #americanflag #newyorkcity #newyorkstateofmind

Always such beautiful tables and great talk at the #newyorkpubliclibrary lunch. Brilliant panel with #thenewyorker editor David Remnick, Samantha Bee, Adam Gopnick, and Hilton Als. And great company, too. #lovemygirlfriends Thank you @ninaggg

What a beautiful image from the many in Brooke and Steve Giannetti’s new book Patina Farm, covering every exquisite detail in their in Ojai, California, home. You can order via her fab blog @velvetandlinen and other outlets as well of course. I am lucky to have gotten to know Brooke and Steve a little in recent years, and they are as lovely as their home.

A dramatic floral beauty by @annettekunz, talented designer who presented this week at the #deYoung #bouquetstoart. Using unconventional containers as “vases” is a specialty of hers.

Another #bouquetstoart beauty from the #deyoungmuseum . Clever interpretation of “fire” in this impressive carved mantelpiece donated from an old San Francisco mansion. #mantelpiece #mantel

So many lovely moments in the Oscar de la Renta exhibit at the #deyoungmuseum in #sanfrancisco, during #bouquetstoart week. #oscardelarenta

Going to San Francisco today to speak at the #deyoungmuseum Thurs morning. Also to see Pierre Bonnard exhibit at Legion of Honor, “House among the Trees (“My Caravan” at Vernonnet)”, ca. 1918. Oil on canvas. Info via link in my profile. #bouquets toast #pierrebonnard #sanfrancisco

Finally taking a stab at painting the #poppies, but it is hot as blazes. Calling it a day. #grassmountain as seen from near #rancholazaca #pleinairpainting #santaynezvalley @camillefineart the best teacher. Missing you @blairtylerpeters @timhornart

Enjoyed the tribute to Nancy Reagan by my friend @alexhitz in this month’s #cmagazine #californiamagazine. #nancyreagan @cmagazine @jennifer_smith_hale
