Nantucket is well known as the "Grey Lady" in recognition of its foggy days and its grey landscapes in wintertime. Grey shingled houses and businesses, grey trees and bushes and grey skies are just too much sometimes in February so I find myself seeking some more colorful settings close to home whenever I can. This particular wall of color shown above was a highlight of my trip yesterday to the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston (ICA). It was a bright spot in an otherwise chilly, overcast day. The ICA's Shepherd Fairey exhibition, "Supply and Demand," is drawing huge crowds since it was featured this past weekend on "CBS Sunday Morning." It runs until August 16 so if you're in Boston this spring or summer, stop by and take a peek. Fairey's most recognizable work is the controversial portrait of Obama, which is being challenged by an AP photographer in a copyright legal tussle.
