We were picking up a friend last week, and I spotted this mural of a river. I call it the Edison Train Station Mural. I am guessing the river depicted is the Raritan River. See what happens when you bring your camera on small local trips? I never noticed the mural before. I decided to do a quick Google search, and guess what? The mural is by Katherine Hackl of Katherine Hackl Pottery & Tiles.
Elsewhere in the Blogosphere
- Ilana-Davita has a weekly review, and in the weekly review she links to the recent JOFA journal. I open the journal (a pdf), and what do I find but a nice article about Eva Oles, z”l, of Highland Park who passed away earlier this year (I didn’t even know she had died until I was sitting shiva for my father – I was a little distracted). It is written by Roselyn Bell, whom I know as Rosie. Thank you, Rosie, for the sweet words.
- Lorri has a review of the book Nehama Leibowitz: Teacher and Bible Scholar by Yael Unterman. Years ago I wrote a short post on an essay by Yael Unterman.
- The March Jewish Book Carnival is on Ann Koffsky’s blog.
Thank you for the review. You had a productive blogging week.
The mural is lovely. I will check you essay out.
Well, it’s a bit of a stretch … I posted images from posts of the last three weeks. I think my artist group has helped inspire me to do more art, certainly. And every now and then, I’ll try to write an essay about creativity, like the one on forming a local group.
I find that the group situation is helpful. I inspires, it teaches, it gives one different perspectives.
Good idea to bring your camera.. I need to remember to do that.. Michelle
I’ve seen some nice posts where the blogger says, “and I took this photo in the parking lot of my work,” or something like that.
Great mural! Thank you for linking to my blog. Shavua tov!
Interesting! My husband has never seen the mural and he goes to the train everyday.
I remember a mosaic of sorts, but until I photographed it, I didn’t pay much attention to details. Blogging and photography can help one to see.
