#32 of 50 "The Banana Dance"

"The Banana Dance", Watercolor, Acrylic & Ink, 5"x 5"    Available

"The Banana Dance"  We arrived in New York just in time for Valentine's Day 2000. It was the beginning of our 2 week annual Gallery Buying Trip. Mom and I had lunch at Serendipity. We had our photo taken with Dr. Ruth as we entered the restaurant together. She was there attending a Valentine Wedding held in the Serendipity bathtub with frozen hot fudge at their feet. That night we had reservations at Chez Josephine on West 42nd St., chezjosephine.com on "Theatre Row". Sketchbooks record everything even what we had for dinner: Asparagus & Mushroom Appetizer, Lobster Entree, Endive & Pecan Salad and for dessert a Chocolate Puff Pastry. Josephine Baker was known for her exotic banana dance in Paris.
