A White Weekend
Admiring a great little Brown County American Impressionist painting at an old favorite antiques shop which we had not visited for some time. Saturday morning. Beverly Hills Deluxe Quality.
All smiles after finding a magnificent portrait by Nicholas R. Brewer, in the original frame. Brewer was a noted American painter of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who was especially renowned for his portraiture. Presidents Grover Cleveland and Fraklin D. Roosevelt, as well as countless other prominent politicians and socialites of the time sat for their portraits with Brewer, and we have been looking for a fine early 20th century portrait by him for a very long time. Brewer was a fellow Minnesotan, and wrote a fascinating autobiography: Trails Of A Paintbrush.
The snow started to fall in the early afternoon on Saturday...
...and continued to fall without respite into the evening. The skyway in Minneapolis on our way to Orchestra Hall Saturday evening. Caxton Beaver Twenty.
The roads were slick with the rapidly accumulating wet and heavy snow, and we briefly considered staying home...briefly.
It was still snowing after the concert. We were expecting a light crowd, but were pleasantly surprised to find a nearly packed house, an always welcome sight for the musicians.
The roads may have been treacherous, but it sure was incredibly beautiful with the snowfall and Holiday lights.
Sunday morning, at the Nikolaus Tag & Open Haus of the Germanic American Institute in St. Paul. Borsalino Alessandria, mit feder.
The Institute is housed in a beautiful, Beaux-Arts mansion on Summit Avenue, dating to 1906.
Flurries still around on Sunday. It could not have felt more in spirit of the Holiday season to see the grand old mansions of Summit Avenue covered with a beautiful, fresh blanket of snow.

Stetson Premier Stratoliner, modified.
Ill Challenge you to funky hats.
Its a Stetson Special edition, with modded band.
Ale: Thanks! Great looking crease you have put in on your Optimo. Better be careful, though, any more of an angle on your photos and your lid is likely to fall right off. lol
Alan: I like the extra bit of 'panache' that band gives that Strat.

How is it bad? its a very nice rabbit fur Stetson, I like to wear everything from driving caps to wide brims, its all in the look.
Alan: Thanks for your kind comments. Hope you get some of that white stuff before too long. Nice to know that there is a Brewer portrait residing in Buffalo. He definitely was well travelled.
Chepstow: Thank you! It is really starting to feel like Christmas is just around the corner. I really wished that I had your great Mayser Trachten Hut on Sunday, when we were at the Nikolaus Tag festivities at the Germanic American Institute.

Al, may I say you wear all those hats with panache! The Caxton and BH are particularly outstanding.
