links on the side: Karen Zuegner on Radiant City

I’m away on vacation until August 27th. During this period, I’ve arranged for several guest bloggers to visit. I’ve long wanted to feature some of the talented people whom I’ve linked to on the sidebar of this blog.

Next up is Karen Zuegner, a painter, cellist and travel enthusiast extraordinare. I joke (but with good reason) that Karen has the best travel karma. She somehow manages to find and stay at the most amazing places—French villas, Venetian palazzos, and five star luxury hotels, all for much less than you’d think. France is an especial passion for Karen and has inspired many of her paintings; her last trip abroad inspired this travel blog and a website about luxury hotels.

Karen’s created this stunning slide show to share another one of her great inspirations: New York City. It’s a real work of art which features some of her art.

It’s a great honor to guest blog at Art and Words. I’m a fellow artist and cellist and have been friends with Kris for many years. I’ve lived on the Lower East Side of Manhattan for the last 16 years in a wreck of a loft that has astonishing, gorgeous views toward the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.

This short slide show has some of the moments I’ve captured over the years and also some of my work that has come from window gazing.
