Sunday, winter.

A wet and dreary outlook, weather-wise, but a fine Sunday. Wintermarket came off very well from the looks of it (a wonderful project I've lately become involved with, as a designer).

Heading back to Europe for a spell soon! Amsterdam will be our home base, again, with visits to friends in Munster, Germany again, and then... Paris! I've not yet been there, so that will be very exciting. We will have opportunities to see some Brooklynites in Paris, as well. On the arts fron: Etsy is… Continue reading brevity

seasonal

This time of year, now that the temperatures are feeling much more in keeping with our idea of seasons, makes it a difficult thing to get out of bed! The coziness of soft sheets, piled over with a down duvet; just too inviting. Discipline is required! Sheer will power! This morning as I pulled myself… Continue reading seasonal

"The Listeners"

That was a phrase randomly chosen from a book: it was a title, in fact. Its influence led to some off-the-cuff writing followed by a painted drawing, both of which now share the title.Now I am mid-stream on a similar painted drawing, except I haven't begun the painting part yet.
