What are you looking forward to in the Spring? I am looking forward to turning over a new leaf in my work, making some work that is more fine and delicate, and traveling. I went for a run this week and was encouraged to see the very first signs of Spring on the forest floor.

I am planning a trip to California in April with a painter friend and we are going to paint our way up the coast! I’m excited about feeling the freedom and beauty of the sun and salty air. I’m also very excited about coming together with the Actors Lab Philly and Era Contemporary in creating a group show in May, “The Art of Performance.” Tell me what you are excited about for when the weather begins to turn a bit warmer?

I’ve been feeling quite bookish lately, perhaps it’s all the rainy weather.  What is your favorite fiction novel?  I’d have to say mine is The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.  I read it in grad school and could not put it down.  The 2002 film is also quite enjoyable, although different than the book.  Tell me your favorites, I need a new book to read/listen to while painting!

Lord Byron said, “There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is music in the shore, a society which none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature, more.”  The dark reflecting pool is from a castle in France, Chateau Chenonceau which I had the good fortune of visiting this summer.  Unlike Byron, I do not wish to be without friends or family for very long, but  I do enjoy the solitude of a walk in nature and the poetry of its peace.  Where is your favorite place to enjoy the enchantment of nature?

normandy morning

Perfect peace…no filter here.  At a manor where life, love, death, joy, and war have played out for hundreds of years.  The memories are deep in the land, the backdrop for our human dramas.  This was taken at 5:30 in the morning when I work up and saw this out the window and had to capture it.  There is always something so magical about the very beginning of a new day!  In Normandy, France…so inspiring.  This might have to become a painting!
