Back in the Hamptons and back to blogging… So I’ve been absent for a while. Quite some time actually which I apologize for. But the good thing is that many people noticed and asked when I planned to return to blogging, so thank you for reading and caring! I arrived in the Hamptons for a fabulous summer with my dogs a few weeks ago and have lived it up ever since. Our first Hamptons adventure was Shelter Island which I had always planned on visiting in more depth and Pär (new General Manager at c/o The Maidstone) and I set out to visit Karen Boltax at Boltax Gallery.
I’d met her a few times before and been equally impressed with her decision to leave Manhattan for the peace and the beauty of island life as her capacity to run a profitable year round gallery on an island with a total population of 2228.
We got to see an exciting show by John Abrams that did oil paintings of Hitchcock movies (that brought back memories of my Hitchcock class in college)
as well as some of her gems from the backroom. One of the artwork (Moat) featured black on black by Danielle Mysliwiec, where it looked like the oil color had been braided yet it was actually applied to the canvas, piece by piece, which is beyond impressive on its own!
We moved on to lunch at the oh so ritzy Sunset Beach which delivered on its chic promise. Way more French than I had imagined but exactly as beachy as we wished for. Including the gorgeous nude that bid us au revoir with the check.
We had a chance to swing by Itzak Perlman’s magnificent piano recital camp for kids which have free recitals all summer nights (that I’ll certainly be attending) and have dinner at Vine Street Café, which is one of the island’s pride. The trip itself was as magnificent as the ferry ride back and forth from our beloved alternative Sag Harbor…
Take care,
Jenny
