The pandemic and other factors in all our lives have affected us and often left us feeling “trapped inside” and missing what we used to do. Personally, I am done with it. I need to go out and see the world again (carefully, of course). To that end, I went out this morning to a vegan place for breakfast I’ve been wanting to try and for a visit to see some art at the Hunterdon Art Museum in Clinton, NJ.
Above are The Three Graces by Toshiko Takaezu at the front of the museum, the side view, and an untitled piece by Noriko Sakuyama.
As I’ve spent quite a bit of time in photo prep, I am going to refer you to the museum’s website to learn more about the artists’ work, if interested.
One of the pieces by Maxwell Mustardo in his Dish-Oriented exhibit.
Above are several images by Rina Bannerjee: Blemish, In Deep Pink Everyplace Begins, both sculptural and drawing. The last image was a discussion if the Chinese Lanterns in a 3-D piece were real or constructed by the artist.
This marble bust is best described by the accompanying text. You can see more of this installation on Instagram @jeannebalsam, if interested.
There was also an exhibit of some student work on the third floor.
Above are images of the Red Mill, an iconic landmark in Clinton, just across from the museum on the other side of the South Branch of the Raritan River. At the base of the waterfall, if you hadn’t caught it right away, is a Blue Heron, wading.
Okay, I’ve been out! Soaked in some sunshine, had a wonderful visit with a friend and some art, plus a great breakfast — what more could one want?
Still A Dreamer 
As I am the lucky friend to have spent this time in Clinton with you, your post allowed me to enjoy our visit all over again. You got some wonderful shots including that lovely blue heron. It was a fabulous morning.

Thanks, Kitty. Happy to have you join me! The museum building is fabulous. and was once a grist mill Here’s a fun fact for you from the museum’s website – “The original mill built on this site in 1763 supposedly ground wheat for General George Washington’s revolutionary army during its encampment in Morristown.” Who knew? 🙂

Oh, Lavinia, I’m so sorry. I’ve had a pretty wretched 3 weeks myself between oral surgery, and then surgery on my eyes – anxiety beyond belief – but heart attack definitely trumps that! My goodness. I do hope you’re feeling much better and healing. Please take good care of yourself. I’m sending loving thoughts your way. XO, Jeanne
