still white
White snow still covers the lake. It’s been a long winter. And just because there is nothing I can do about that – I think, what a relief, really. The darn snow will last as long as it pleases. I spend way too much time trying to control other matters. But weather? In Bob Dylan’s Chronicles, […]
peeking
Do you see that yellow-green – the color that I was dyeing my fabric all winter long??? It’s the first evidence of spring. I’m pretty sure it was NOT there yesterday – I’ve been eyeing that patch of earth. And today – suddenly! It’s on the edge of the snowy field still covering the garden. […]
yin yang
Here they are: yin and yang. Looking as tired as I feel. I just spent the morning doing Tai Chi with the master, who comes to this area several times a year. I have been learning this form for a little more than a year – these gatherings draw people from several states – and […]
photographer’s colors
This is the overall view photo from the photographer. The art translated in this way in his sharp lighting, away from sunlight. Another translation of the colors running through it. The piece looks one way in natural light, another way under the lights in the Stimson Center, and this way with his lights. Now, onto […]
show’s up
Ariella hanging left side Will and Samsun working on right It’s up! And surely the gods and goddesses were with me for this surprisingly fun event. Not to mention my personal chauffeur, Samsun, and DC connection/PR person/ personal assistant, Ariella. I don’t know how we happened to get the one day in the whole week […]
art in the car
Does this look like art? I hope not. I want it to look well-disguised as we cruise down the highway. No one would guess we are carrying art! Heavens! I’ll drive this car to DC and then say good-bye to it: my son, Samsun, will drive on to Iowa and get many more miles out […]
il pleut
Don’t you love the sound of that: “il pleut.” The French really nailed it with those words. By contrast, say “it’s raining”; now, do those English words come close to approximating the sound of rain on a roof or window? But “pleut.” Yes. I had a dear friend who used to visit quite often when […]
movement
Puppy. (well, dog actually). Dog moving. Dog so glad to be out of the car. The 2 of us just got back from Brookline where there is bare ground. Even daffodils pointing up out of it, emerging. Movement. Movement you can see. Not like here – where it looks like a well-frosted cake still. The […]
spring?????
When I visited the curator for the gallery in DC, she looked at my work and said to me, “We’d like you to show your work here. And it must be in spring.” She was looking at the colors in the very small work that I brought her. She saw spring colors in it – […]
impatient
A little off-shoot from the bigger piece… I’m waiting impatiently for the photos. Stewart will send them when they’re ready. I know better than to bother him. I can feel that I’m still WITH my large piece, since I’ll be driving down to DC to hang it in the gallery there next week. At the […]
