This Labor Day weekend was my first time
​at the Washington Square show, it was great!

My set up was different than usual
no t shirts and less knick nacks, 
MORE PAINTINGS AND PRINTS!

This morning when Dave and I were finishing work on his roll gate
a little, probably about 6 year old, boy came by with his mom.
He stopped and said "nice painting"
we said thank you and good morning
then he continued
"I see painting everywhere and I always wonder where it came from"
lovely... 

I'm intrigued by the golden rectangle

 it's mesmerizing.

Starting a group of prints to explore it

 Printing blocks of  color in the Golden section

These  will be a ground for printing and drawing 

 it's a longer than the 4 x 6 rectangle

 used in a lot  of my smaller prints 

I'm interested in composition and color

This shape will work good

Jenn, Kristi and I went to the Met 
Mostly to see the Sargent Show
Which knocked me off my feet.
Sargent gets what I struggle with.
This meeting between representation
and the mark making, abstract
for the love of paint kind of painting.

many of the paintings, barely hang together
large areas almost unpainted 
then the drawing is so fresh and exact 
that the few cues pull it all brilliantly together.
super exciting.

and the way he paints hands!
the whole show is  humbling in a rare way. 

I hope to see it again

It's great to see these cushions from my CCP fabric 
back in stock at Kinoko!

These were from a fabric design project I did with CCP
a few years ago.

There's still some yardage available at my studio
great to make clothing, curtains and more!
