Beautiful fall-ish day. Diane and I did a quick run/hike up to the window

Later for lunch I met with my new friend Mark W. We’ve been trying to find a time to hang out.. and today for lunch worked.  Mark is an amazing ‘collector’ he’s very interested in accessible modern art. He has 4 (maybe 5)  curated collections spread across several buildings in the South End..  Mark collects lesser known , sometime local.. art.. and displays it in context with other pieces of related style. He has done a wonderous job at cataloging his huge collection.. and knows where everything is, where its from and its back story. We spent about 2 hours as Mark showed me around.. there were many artists and movements I recognized.. and far more that I’d never seen.. It was amazing !

 Mark is very well known and loved in the South End arts community. Everyone has great stories about him.. 

Mark’s long time goal is to find a permentant location for the collection so that more people can see it.. After seeing the collection.. I see why that would be soooo great. 

If you ever get a chance, get to know Mark and his collection. I think you will really enjoy it.. I did..

Nice to get to know Mark better !
Its fun to make a new freind after running in similar circles for so long
