Dream of the beach and visit Matisse, Manhattan!

The latest and greatest from Peachy's favorite Manhattan museum awaits you in the back left corner (from the perspective of the entrance with 5th Avenue behind you) of The Metropolitan Museum of Art! Welcome to the great indoors of Manhattan, when it is literally freezing out. You love the Met in Summer, and love it even more in winter...for Matisse, the process of creation was not simply a means to an end but rather a dimension to his art that was important as the finished canvas. We adore the Gulf of St. Tropez (1904) and love every goldfish depiction. The beach scenes we were most drawn to, especially at Etretat. This 1937 piece:

we also loved and feel it has a quaint, lovely Alice-in-Wonderland-like quality.

Pointillism! Peachy studied this concept at BC in painting class. It was clear she did not have the patience for it because she couldn't wait for the dots to dry (and hers were monster-size, also not advised for the delicateness of pointillism) but she has retained her appreciation for the concept and has a more substantial appreciation as a result...

Henri Matisse (1869–1954) was one of the most acclaimed artists working in France during the first half of the twentieth century. The critic Clement Greenberg, writing in The Nation in 1949, called him a "self-assured master who can no more help painting well than breathing." Unbeknownst to many, painting had rarely come easily to Matisse. Throughout his career, he questioned, repainted, and reevaluated his work. He used his completed canvases as tools, repeating compositions in order to compare effects, gauge his progress, and, as he put it, "push further and deeper into true painting." While this manner of working with pairs, trios, and series is certainly not unique to Matisse, his need to progress methodically from one painting to the next is striking. Matisse: In Search of True Painting presents this particular aspect of Matisse's painting process by showcasing forty-nine vibrantly colored canvases. For Matisse, the process of creation was not simply a means to an end but a dimension of his art that was as important as the finished canvas.

Regis Philbin, this is not your Notre Dame!

Ooooh here are the delightful goldfish...we loved gazing at these on the wall of Ward during English class.

These fruits are reminding us of the exciting new delights we have to tell you about from Sunkist to brighten your January! Sunkist has been around since 1893 so maybe even Matisse was painting them, but he's not here to ask...

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
