Dodging snowdrifts while listening @rollovereasy.org Warmish here too post beautiful blizzard in NYC

Today, February 23 is anniversary of Flaco’s death. At impromptu memorial the following day, children left sweet letters & pictures at one of his favorite Central Park trees. The Eurasian eagle owl made lasting impression on so many New Yorkers, photographers, painters, birdwatchers worldwide #Flaco

In the Strand’s Rare Book Room with all things Flaco & artist B.Hutch

Awaiting wise words about the national obsession with craft beer. When friends & folks @bff.fm’s @RollOverEasy visit our neck of the woods, we’ll share hot spots. B.Hutch comments in pictures, while I paint in words.

A flask of wine, book of verse, empty canvas and thou @rollovereasy.org B.Hutch & I are set to celebrate your birthday, Valentines Day & the ultimate urban experience left coast or east

Love was in the air February 2023 when we met the most beautiful Eurasian eagle owl. Latest work by B.Hutch — Flaco on Freeman Alley. NYC still snow (& garbage) covered, but sticking with @rollovereasy.org mantra: Only good news.

An unforgettable day so eloquently & colorfully captured on canvas by artist @billhutchinson.bsky.social

Howdy @rollovereasy.org…The Hudson River is freezing over but the hot exhibit is quintessential SF artist Ruth Asawa at MoMA. ‘Two Degrees of Copy’ is from the B.Hutch archive. Need to hear what’s happening art-wise from your guest Erin Feher.

Lincoln Center’s Ragtime is moving & more relevant than ever. Strong cast led by the incomparable Joshua Henry, Caissie Levy, Brandon Uranowitz. The role of Emma Goldman now performed by Julie Benko. Do not miss #Ragtime at the Vivian Beaumont!

Best painting of ‘Coffee in a Cave’ by B.Hutch. Best movie about a comedy club — ‘Is This Thing On?’ …Hey @rollovereasy.org our city is bathed in morning sun & we get to wear one less layer ☀️

Maggie O’Farrell at Rizzoli Bookstore today — said she was intent on Paul Mescal playing William Shakespeare, that filmmaker Chloe Zhao ‘has the most extraordinary memory…and is really good at externalizing what characters are feeling.’ And the author did decline a cameo.

Really cold here but trying to stay warm by listening @rollovereasy.org Hope it’s not too late to say happy new year! Resolutions to paint, read, write & walk more in 2026. Holiday card created by B.Hutch

Usually on December 30, fans of Patti Smith celebrate in concert. Tonight — reading, rereading her poetry & memoirs.

Happy Birthday Happy Hanukkah @rollovereasy.org Toasting your shenanigans & putting an end to a year that defies description. B.Hutch paints on as we salute longevity of our left coast friends

Hell and the Hudson River poised to freeze over….So bundled up & glued @rollovereasy.org …B.Hutch likes to play, watch, draw football — go 49ers!

All You Need Is Love — Central Park’s Strawberry Fields

Laser Wolf! A dreamy restaurant for vegetarians. Tables on this Brooklyn rooftop are understandably sought after.

Tis the season @rollovereasy.org … Wild, crazy #SF knows how to raise the roof during December. Why can’t our city have @treetwins.bsky.social spreading joy. B.Hutch studies his archives, draws what he sees — really & in his dreams.

Reliving the joy & perfection of a Patti Smith concert. Friday at the Beacon Theatre, #PattiSmith and her band marked 50th anniversary of album ‘Horses.’ Extremely lucky to be in #NYC for the celebration.

You @rollovereasy.org are in misting, sweet SF while we’re on Hudson River’s edge. Happily, on both coasts one can wander through bucolic botanical gardens. Horse drawn carriages remain in Central Park & B.Hutch is now painting on broken plates so I have to guard the china cabinet.

Fortunate to have family living in & around Seattle. The new Overlook Walk & Waterfront are scenic & accessible. As always, Pike Place Market is brimming with fishmongers, flowers, crafts & viewful restaurants. #Seattle

Rock always wins in the PNW. Rainy here too….as B.Hutch & I tune into @rollovereasy.org

Bayshore Preserve in Shelton, WA where we watched chum salmon fighting their way upstream #PNW

Olympia Farmers Market

The beauty of autumn on W62nd St #NYC

Acoustic, casual, eloquent & at times unrehearsed performance at Town Hall #NYC celebrating publication of Patti Smith’s new memoir ‘Bread of Angels.’ November 4 is also Robert Mapplethorpe’s birthday & date husband Fred ‘Sonic’ Smith passed away. #PattiSmith #BecauseTheNight

Met marathoners from Mexico, Ghana, Argentina, Israel, Ireland, England, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Nebraska. Some said #NYCMarathon is special, their favorite, best in the world. Others complained today’s weather was too warm, Central Park too hilly. #TCSNYCMarathon #NYC

Me & Zipperface on past Halloweens.

Upper West Side stoop and sidewalk

Especially enjoy the part @rollovereasy.org when hard-hitting journalists ask ‘if there were NO lines anywhere — where would you go for breakfast?’ B.Hutch & I like to greet the day in North Beach at boho, mellow Caffe Trieste where we luxuriate in pots of tea & Italian pastries
