Crows

Other than Adam-whatever his name is-being very odd in this video, there's some beautiful imagery and great lyrics.

Congratulations Sheridan on your first day of freedom! Love ya!

Fabulous

Looks like we have an amazing weekend of weather coming up! So excited to get out in the yard and do some planting and spread some mulch. May work on laying out a patio as well for a future fire pit/party area. Will get some studio time in as well, getting close to having the lifeguard series complete.

Tomorrow is the RAL Member's Craft show opening from 5-7. Tons of beautiful work by local artisans. The openings are always a lot of fun, check it out if you get a chance.

And congrats to my niece for becoming an RN! Celebratory party for her Saturday. You go girl!

Weird

One of the first comments I frequently hear from people when I say I'm an artist - is something along the lines of "oh...you're one of those weirdo's."  :)  I guess there are some weird artists..... and writers, and directors and musicians, and......accountants. We're all weird in our own way, we just have to find the right people who will compliment our weirdness, and ours theirs.

1. unnatural, preternatural. weird, eerie, unearthly, uncanny refer to that which is mysterious and apparently outside natural law. Weird refers to that which is suggestive of the fateful intervention of supernatural influences in human affairs: the weird adventures of a group lost in the jungle. Eerie refers to that which, by suggesting the ghostly, makes one's flesh creep: an eerie moaning from a deserted house. Unearthly refers to that which seems by its nature to belong to another world: an unearthly light that preceded the storm. Uncanny refers to that which is mysterious because of its apparent defiance of the laws established by experience: an uncanny ability to recall numbers.

Hey, there are worse things, yeah?

Fantastic

I have no idea who this guy is, but he makes great points with this. I've met so many people recently who are up in arms about gay marriage, which completely escapes me.  I don't care who marries whom - (well, incest probably isn't a great idea).

Everyday intimacy

Here's a very cool thing I discovered last week - The Art League's Permanent Collection storage. Temperature controlled little hide-away that stores some great art that spans a 60 year time frame.  It was like finding a treasure chest. Fantastic.

Just getting blocked in. Not sure if I'll end up sticking with the red background. May put in the beach background like the rest of them.

Lorrie and me - fun weekend.  We were looking at the sunshine ceiling. :)

This was this week's favorite Post Secret. There's something to be said for this kind of normal, everday intimacy. "Normal" is probably not the right word, considering there's probably  not many people who are lucky enough to experience it, so maybe the word should be "special."

What a cool mug! Coffee with a smile.

Milton Glaser - creator of the "I love NY" campaign. (He earned nothing from it, what a travesty!) The Art League and the RB Film Society is screening a documentary of Glaser's life/career on Thursday, April 29 at the Inn at Canal Square in Lewes DE. Call the RAL for tickets. 302-227-8408

Spring!

Really feels like spring today. Walking around the Art League, the smell of the flowers blooming everywhere was wonderful. Cherry blossoms, azaleas, daffodils, camelias (don't hold me to the spelling of any of those). A really nice, intoxicating smell. The sun is shining brightly and filtering down between the trees and over the canal. Lovely.

Off to VA to see one of my bff's. Should be a crazy weekend. No art to be made, but will be back on it next week. Strictly fun for a change.  :)

10k

Went well. First female, but there weren't a whole lot of people in the 10k. Regardless, I'm happy, and ready to get into the rest of the season.

Got really sick last night, think it might have been food poisoning. Wow, I forgot what that's like. Don't think I've had a stomach thing for years and yuck! Was up from midnight to 6 a.m. getting sick on an hourly basis. Whew. Body is sore, but at least I'm upright now. Slept for the entire day, and am headed back to the bed now. Hoping I can work in the a.m.
