As the seasons turn, we admire art generally.
This short memoir came to me as an advance reader from the library. I enjoyed the fluctuation between letters from her mother and her prose throughout the story. This story partially takes place in Davis, which felt unusual– I haven’t read many books that mention Davis, California as a location. Eun Ji gives lots of
Yesterday I hosted an art show in the yard– rain or shine. It rained on and off throughout the day, which was better than what I had expected. I think about a dozen people came through and the afternoon turned to evening. I used my whiteboard to orient visitors and even gave one tour at
I finished this study in July and it now joins the sculpture garden. There are quite a few elements here and again, passersby are welcome to move things around or add to the green study. Unfortunately the photo doesn’t give you much access to the “behind bars” limes and other green things, but you get
After taking off for a week, Woodland decided to get pretty dang wet, so the outdoor studies are weathered. I am posting a few photos here of their progress. I’ll be doing some more work on them in the next few days.

Here is a snapshot of a current work in progress that is part of my study of the color brown. This sculpture is installed beneath a hibiscus tree highly trafficked by hummingbirds in my backyard. I am working on additional sculptures that will be secured to the table as I continue.
Anyone else out there try to catch the “Poem of the Day” from Poetry Foundation? I get the email each day, and tend to at least open it but sometimes they slip by. Today’s poem “How Wonderful” by Irving Feldman resonated with me.
This week in ModPo we are studying the Beats and I called into the webcast earlier this week to add to the noise. In preparing for Meraki Radio this week, I was planning on reading poetry from the Sept and Oct POETRY magazines– in fact, I’ve been dragging these periodicals to the studio for the
