While I absolutely love Joan Mitchell's abstract paintings, I just realized that I don't know much about her life. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Joan-Mitchell-Painter-Patricia-Albers/dp/0375414371"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Joan Mitchell: Lady Painter</span></a> by Patricia Albers won't be out until May 3rd so I'll have to wait until then to read it...unless Knopf wants to send me an advance copy as a birthday present.  I have no shame when it comes to a subject I love!  Bon Weekend!</div>
