| My Satisfaction, mixed media on board, 9"x12" |
I wrestled with this painting yesterday until I finally decided to paint out the troublesome shape entirely and immediately felt a sense of lightness and calm.
This morning, I was woken up early by a hysterical crow outside. Later my son told me he had to go out and yell at it to make it go away. I continued to sleep in. My son and I went to breakfast at Harris Avenue Cafe which was full to bursting with people. Instead we went to tea at Abby Tea. I love going to tea and love that my son is willing to go with me which is thanks to my husband's willingness to go. Manly men like tea, too. We had a chat about my side of the family. It wasn't very in depth because my mother died when I was young and I don't know many of her family.
We went to the book store where I bought more books when I haven't read the ones from the last trip. I got yet another book on art books which I intend to do some day: "Masters Book Arts", "The Taliban Shuffle", by Kim Barker; and the "Believing Brain", by Michael Shermer. I'm sure that I punctuated that last sentence all wrong. Sorry. My father, an anthropologist, said once that brains are hard wired to believe in religion. When I mentioned that some time later, he said, "I never said that." Someone's brain in this family isn't hardwired at all.
I hope that everyone is having a great Sunday as well.
