Vltava River and the Charles Bridge My wounded wing has regained much of its movement, but it’s been carrying a dull ache the past few days. Could be from the cycling I did earlier in the week (leaning on it), could be barometric. Maybe it’s just the mending process. * * * Had… Continue reading A trip, a map and a flood— all fiction
I don't know what that title is about. I just needed a title, and the skies were magnificent during our little road trip (and are still). It’s a fine thing to get out of the city for a couple of days. We built fires and cooked over them; we floated on a calm lake, surrounded… Continue reading The great bowl of the heavens above us, benevolent!
Handsome Red Late night at the farm; window open upstairs and a squeaking distant sound of coyotes through the cricket-song. Tig hears them too. They seek the feral cats that live around here (dinner). The new kitten, Piwaket, was one of same; a runt or cast-off, living on her own and scrappy as hell; my… Continue reading Writing steadies me, as does the farm
A trip to rural Pennsylvania Sunday through Tuesday, for the 150th Commemmoration of the Battle of Gettysburg. I worked on the visual portion for the opening ceremony, which was reason enough for my Dad to plan a road trip; Tara Lynne and I joined the expedition. I’d never been, and it was wonderful to soak… Continue reading The Museum: recent acquisitions
July already! 2012 is halfway gone. Last week was the first of the summer trips, and a beach week. Sunday at Fort Tilden followed by 4 days in Fire Island with a gaggle of friends. And quite a few ticky deer, poor things. They are bold, though, as evidenced by the above photograph. Since returning the… Continue reading The longest day of the year has come and gone, but the heat is just getting started.
I skipped February altogether here. I'll attempt to make up for that this month. Above is a small painted tripdych I did last month; oil on cedar shingles. We had so little snow this year, such a mild winter. That took none of the enjoyment out of a 6-day trip to Mexico– to the Yucatan… Continue reading A farewell to winter
An overabundance of action and sunlight: lizzie and luna in kelley's car The waiting line on 33rd and 7th Avenue on Work Island is an object lesson in chaos; a spectacle to be avoided at all costs if you're not there to board the Bolt Bus. As if that weren't enough, the bus to Baltimore… Continue reading In which I travel to Baltimore and meet Luna, then to Adamstown to collect old things
This is by request for TL, Sabine and Leddy. Happy Birthday Leddy! (Click on map to see in new window- then click to enlarge and scroll...) (Map by Sabine)
Feeding the friendly chickadees. They are fearless and hungry for sunflower seeds! Great day for sledding! (Also very familiar to that ink drawing I did a few days prior...) photos taken on December 27, 2010
I finally had a chance to go back to the studio to pick up the prints I worked on before the Brooklyn Plague hit. These will be for sale at the upcoming 3rd Ward Handmade Holiday Craft Market on Saturday Dec 4 (tomorrow), as well as at Brooklyn Craft Central's Holiday Market on December 18th!… Continue reading Drypoint close-ups
