This would have been the Garden Tour day, Patrick’s wedding in Idaho, tomorrow the kids and the grands would have arrived for the summer. The world would not be in turmoil and contaminated…if only…if only… So this post is for my reading group. We are three…one in Denver, one in Santa Fe, and me. We […]
It turns out my exhibit, “Memory as Myth”…due to open today at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, was perfectly titled. On June 6th Roger Hull’s Clifford Gleason exhibit “The Promise of Paint” was to have a grand opening and it would be the opening reception for me too. So we join artists and curators […]
Just some words from other people for you today…William Stafford (thanks Jennifer) You Reading This, Be Ready Starting here, what do you want to remember? How sunlight creeps along a shining floor? What scent of old wood hovers, what softened sound from outside fills the air? Will you ever bring a better […]
So…I’m beginning to feel odd. I’m tired of the internet. I’m tired of inspirational messages about …everything. I’m tired of myself and generating self-oriented content daily for projects. My hair’s too long. I’m feeling like a cannibal, like I’m eating myself alive…so I adapted Heidi Grew’s clay piece to fit my Monday morning blues. I […]
Another random, nonsensical day filled with odd and wonderful moments. Today I thought that really the truth is we’ll all look back on this time of isolation as a magical time, a transitional time between “the good old days” and the difficulties that lie ahead, which we are beginning to understand will become more pronounced. […]
The days seem to “zoom” by… I’m not THINKING about this situation so much as just trying to survive it. I want to go have coffee with my drawing friends… and so on. So do you. So does everybody. I no longer think in terms of “inspirational messages”… only just in terms of getting through […]
I’ve always loved comics. When I was a kid Uncle Vern sent me a subscription to Donald Duck Comics and though I found those particular comic books not totally interesting, I was immediately in love with the format. By the time I was 10 I was spending lots of my hard-earned babysitting money on comic […]
Well here’s the real truth…I’m just not that motivated. I get up early enough, but I move pretty slowly…”open the house” (open shutters, turn off porch light, etc.) check the bleach bucket (1/3 c. bleach in a gallon of water to disinfect the incoming items) BREAKFAST and the Bee… Thinking about Vivien and Sidney… reading […]
A good news day. Although the Clifford Gleason show Roger Hull has curated is scheduled for June 6-August 30, 2020, at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, is in the shadow of Coronavirus, the book is going to be published. The proofs arrived today. (Thank you Howard for the pick up and delivery.) And though […]
Nancy sent me this lovely hand-made birthday card that is an image for our times (thank you Nancy!)… But to back track…we went to the beach Saturday for my birthday, and to clean out the pantry and retrieve some toilet paper (who is it that HAS all the toilet paper I wonder?). In spite of […]
