i’m back. (&have been for a few days!) still trying to feel returned and settled. flying away is such fun, it is hard to land again. it was a GREAT trip with margaret, we barely fussed even. laughed a LOT and saw so much. unfortunately, i was sick most of the time we were gone, with an appalling intestinal disorder, then a sorethroat and cough, and we needed to move SO fast to get to the places that we needed to see, so there are not really many images to see, but there will be a few. i will scatter them on flickr and here in the next week or so. but the impressions that flew by were wonderful. god. the north coast of california is PARADISE, i think. those little villages … the ocean and windy roads … the redwoods … wow.
funny, i didn’t think about art the whole time i was gone, except for the moment i passed a woman painting in a storefront studio in Chinatown in SF, twilight on Saturday night. a gutTwisting envy. normally, i fantasize and visualize art, even when i am not physically working on things. i came to a stopping place and cleaned up before i left. now it seems like it is time for something new. *really* time. i wonder what it will be?
