Infections should not visit on Saturdays, because then you have to go to the ER for treatment and wait, wait, wait. Friday night reading at the bookstore Prairie Lights in Iowa City. The author was Stephen Bloom. His book was "Tears of Mermaids" about pearls and the pearl trade. He likened pearos to cocaine in their cost, scarcity, levels of purity and secretive distribution channels. That seemed like a stretch. The lecture was actually pretty boring - I felt like I was in class listening to the prof drone on. Author droning and people listening - at least early on.
Nothing makes me happier than drawing. If I could do it 24 hours a day, I would. The line is the thing - so much expression, feeling and energy can be put into ONE line. Then there is the color, the feeling of a fully loaded brush of paint going onto a canvas or watercolor paper - no feeling like that IN THE WORLD. I am fortunate to make my living as an illustrator with a double life as a painter and artist finding her own narrative in the work. Stay tuned. And thank you for visiting!
