>Since we were too early to check into Ariel House, we left our luggage there and hopped back onto the DART train to go to Trinity College, where I wanted to see the Book of Kells. This was a major item on my list, and in retrospect I maybe should have waited until I was…

Saturday, May 12, 2012 After touching down early in the morning at Dublin Airport, bleary from our body clocks’ insistence that it was 1:30 a.m., we muddled our way to a city bus taking us to the center of Dublin, where we hopped off too early on O’Connell St. on the advice of someone who…

My display at <Elements Gallery Whew. My workload is drastically less until mid-August now. This is what makes the craziness of spring worth it. Hopefully I will now have the time and energy to write and make art for the next several months. In less than one week, Sandy and I leave on our excellent…

So, let me get the whining over with. It has to be done, I’m afraid, but enough time has passed that I found some upsides. The workshop with India Flint was canceled, and I was devastated at first – actually cried for a hour at work. Fortunately I did not book my flight, because I…

I had to slow it down. I had a setback with my flexibility and pain, although my strength tests were much better. It was quite disappointing for me because I am so rarin’ to go with all the inspiration I get from my online class with Jude Hill, but I finally accepted (after being told…

I’m drinking my little pot of coffee kind of late this morning, but I have already taken Theo to the vet for a bit of maintenance on his back side and taken my car to the carwash. I actually had to wash my car in order to drive it to the carwash – it was…

I started this acrylic painting while my left hand was still wrapped up from surgery. I need to spend a couple of hours more on details and then I’ll replace this photo with the final version. I started physical therapy this week and finally got out the sewing machine again to begin work on a…
