Lee Price, Flowers, 2015 - at the Provincetown Art Association Museum. The second photo shows a wider view of the Hofmann Gallery space in the museum, where the painting was on display as part of the museum’s 2018 Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Grant exhibition. I was struck by the space, and by this painting (and the other works by the same artist) - all of the artists on display here had interesting and challenging works, but for some reason the Lee Price works really caught my eye. The museum is a small one, but well worth a visit if you are in Provincetown. I look forward to my next visit.

Maggie Rogers - Light On (Official Video)

Oh, if you keep reaching out Then I'll keep coming back And if you're gone for good Then I'm okay with that And if you leave the light on Then I'll leave the light on And I am finding out There's just no other way That I'm still dancing at the end of the day And if you leave the light on Then I'll leave the light on

"There is a legend which says that if two lovers - kiss - in a gondola, under the Bridge of Sighs, at sunset, when the bells of the Campanile toll - they will love each other - forever."

I had never seen this film until this month; watched it as part of the Criterion Channel's "Set in Venice" collection. When released in 1979 I was probably just a little too young for it to be of any interest, and I suspect even a few years after that it would have seemed very dated. The feel and look of it to me seem to look back to the mid 1970's rather than the impending 1980's.

It's a sweet and charming little film that I found very easy to watch. The two leads Lauren and Daniel are precocious in intellect and sensitivity, but naive and with a burgeoning romantic love as yet unbroken by the world. Of course they can abscond to Venice and thereby ensure their love lasts forever! I mean, why not!?!

Most all of us find out quickly enough that life isn't really quite that way. But the ending of the film, I thought, was perfect - you don't know that it won't turn out that way for them. It might - just maybe! And if not? Well, they will always have Venice, and a great if brief romance between them.

Marigold in the garden My heart is out in the garbage I am being An alarmist 'Cause for as far as I see It's terrible territory And there's no one To reassure me So it would be good to talk For my sanity Now do what you feel like you gotta do But be good to me

Well, when you walk away You still exist and I feel good knowing it If it hurts me why I rely so much on in the first place If it's happening then why's this feeling taking over me?

Can I believe in the me before I knew you beautifully? Can I believe in the me before I knew you beautifully? Can I believe in the me before I'm lost on yesterday? Can I believe in the me before I knew you beautifully?
