Our visit was for two days. Both days the brothers played golf (are we surprised?). I went along the first day - it was sooooo cold. The second day I spent in the hotel practicing my Thai using a computer program we ordered off of the WEB.
Ann was at work in the gallery during the day. But in the evening Mike made a delicious dinner that we shared at their home. The second night we all went out for Thai food. It was a great restaurant. After dinner we actually went (for the first time ever) to a club with karaoke. It was amazing. None of us had the courage to get up and sing. It seemed as though all of those who did participate have been doing it for quite some time. They all had great voices and understood when to come in when the music stopped or started. We were awed.
Ann has continued with her compulsion to create art. She is still stubbornly refusing to show or sell it. There are pieces all over the house. Mike said her latest source for the "best" paper is Oprah magazine. She cuts or tears pieces of paper and glues them together to get the pieces she produces. I took some shots of only a couple of them and show them here. The only way Ann's work ever leaves her home is if you are visiting and happen to say, "Hey I like that one" or "That piece is nice." Before you know it, you have a gift in your hands. This is how we unknowingly became the proud possessor of several of her works. I have photographed others. If you want to see them, just go to www.sysdude.com and choose the photo album called "Art by Hart." She is really unbelievable. The work is unbelievable, and all is created by torn magazine pages that she assembles into images. I wish I had that talent!
