nine girls
I’m sliding in quite late on PPF. I’ve been busy painting these nine girls today. Some I had started the other day, but didn’t have time to finish them.
Don’t you wish you could paint like this?..
A spam comment I received on my blog today, made into a poem..
We must all hear
the universal call
to like your neighbor
like you
like to be liked
yourself.

it was only a 10 minute walk to the border
from my little apartment.
sigh.

i’m drinking Kahlua and coffee brandy
and waiting for greg to get home
from the office..

It is so crazy warm here this year. I saw these motorcycles out on 50 a couple weeks ago.

Greg took this photo of me at the river by our apartment in WV a few years ago.

It’s hard to play catch up after being sick for almost two weeks, but I’m trying. Getting ready for Valentine’s Day. Last night I hated some of these so much (the ones holding the red hearts), that I painted over their faces. This morning, I had a change of heart, and have washed the paint off. Now I have to touch them up, and I will like them by the end of the day. I will!!
I always have trouble with my own paintings when I’m taking a class. The stuff I do never looks good enough to me. The class I’m taking now is Open Studio with Misty Mawn. I can’t rave enough about the class. I am so in awe of Misty and her work..and her book, Unfurling
There still time to sign up for her class, if you want. She’s going to leave it up for a year, like she did with the class last year, Stretching Within. That was a very cool class, also. But, I have to say that it’s even better this year. Every single weekday..the loads of information and videos she is generously giving us..it was worth the money the very first day. It is going to take me a long while to catch up, and do the assignments, so I’m really glad she decided to extend it for a year.
my entire studio is trashed. omgosh, first day back on the job, yesterday, and i have destroyed it. lol i am finally feeling a little better. still not 100%, but i’m working towards getting healthy again. I tried to eat a poached egg with my toast this morning, and ended up giving it to Sweet Pea. Not quite there yet. Still waking up coughing, too. ugh.
Happy PPF, everyone! Here’s a video for you to enjoy. Can you believe she cut her long dreads off?? Pretty amazing to watch.
toast made out of homemade Italian bread, plain pasta, tea, and decaf have been my only food for the past week and a half. please, be careful of the flu this year. i didn’t see it coming, and it has knocked me flat on my backside.
i am worn out, and moving in slow motion. if i owe you something, an email, a phone call, it will be a couple days. whoever called me at midnight the other night, just to hear my voice, i don’t know who you are, private number. so, call back in a couple days. a week would be better, for me. it’s always nice to hear from you, but i’m feeling rather quiet, and anti-social at the moment.
hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day.
