Before going to the BAIN event last night, Venetia and I stopped off at the studio opening of our friend Osvaldo Puente, a talented and innovative artist. His studio is in a beautiful old building with original wrought iron features and elevator — unfortunately my photo missed this, but it also has a high, high, high skylight ceiling.

Osvaldo uses actual earth in his paintings, combined with old photographs, pieces of lace and more to create evocative pieces that make you think as we as enjoy visually. You can read more about his art at his website at http://www.osvaldoeduardopuente.com/
