there. a picture. yesterday evening i wandered in my neighborhood alleys for a while. the ex-mayor gave me some seeds of a flowering plant i don’t know. i made some pictures. mostly old chairs, i don’t know why. mostly not very good, but i was glad to be out doing that thing. and glad to play with the images a little today. more on flickr. i don’t know where i found those polaroid mask things, but they are fun as hell and i would like to say thanks to the person. i MUST remember to bookmark…MUST. it is a working weekend, but not too bad. friday night traci came over and shared our dinner of pesto pizza made by ME. then we worked (she on her stamps and me on the magazine) in the artRoom and made lots of noise. it was good fun. my poet and i took a long walk in a new neighborhood this morning. and last night watched Northfork. this time i didn’t fall asleep in the middle. today i have messed around some more with layering paint washes, glazes, transfers … and i think i am liking them. i am feeling braver about messing with paint now. many tiny experiments on the table. it sounds like i have played all weekend, doesn’t it? but i have done my work quite nicely and am almost finished. also almost well. yay. there is still an ugly hole in my frontispiece and my insides do not feel quite right, but i have finished one antibiotic and decided to discontinue the other. it felt wrong. dangerous and toxic. i have been drinking DanActive and taking extra C. i wish i had some goldenseal, too. i feel quite content in this moment.
