This time at home has been a time to really think about things for me. About my creative work for sure, but about the structure of my life. When Katy Sewall said to her friend Tiffany Parks on a podcast I listen to (The Bittersweet Life) “…is this the life you built, or is this […]
Greetings friends. It’s been a low-news week around here…not too much to report and not too much coming in except off of the internet and you’ve seen the same stuff I have… So after coffee and the BEE (luckily we got to GENIUS early today…phew) I carefully considering wardrobe options (Kay suggested number one might […]
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 […]
It’s amazing how much there is to do around here…I had to take a blog day off yesterday, and I don’t have a lot to report today…though a few more window photos have come in: Salem: Portland: Texas D.C. Long Island I suspect you’ve all been zooming…we had two social “outings” this week that involved […]
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 […]
Do we have any real idea what our world will be as we slog through this corona-spring? What our world will be when this is over? Nope. It’s unfolding all right, but we can’t make out the outline of our collective future…at least it isn’t visible from here in the far west. So what do […]
“Familiars” in folklore were thought to protect their owner from evil, to cunningly shift shape and employ their powers to guard and aid their owner. They often took the form of small animals or birds. For some reason I have been surrounded by these little familiars all of my life and they delight me. They […]
No “topic” today…a walk around the house before heading into the neighborhood, wherein I am grateful I didn’t cut down the Euphorbias in the fall… The Henk begonias are blooming… I made barley flour muffins from a package I found in the freezer with some slightly-freezer-burned-frozen blueberries, and they’re good! (I didn’t have buttermilk […]
