If I was the type of person to believe in such things I would certainly believe that faires lived under this mushroom. We have had a prodigious bloom of mushrooms, in the area, in recent weeks. Last week I rode my bike past a lawn & saw where the huge satellite dish designers got their idea from. It was amazing! The mushrooms even tilted at an angle that perfectly mimicked in my minds eye how the satellite fields in the movie Contact look. I am ever more convinced that I cannot paint, print, or design anything that I have not already seen in some iteration. This does not mean that I should stop painting, printing & drawing, but increase my awareness of what I take in & chose my influences carefully. Happy Monday Y'all!

Working on my banner skills & thinking about recent events in America that have made me really consider how our freedoms sometimes impede justice and what should be done about that? Would I be okay with less freedom if it meant more justice? I think so.
I have been living mostly outside for the past 2 weeks. This is an important & vital thing to do. It takes me outside of the studio & refreshes my vision. Here are some of the beautiful things I saw the past two weeks. It is still a few days until I return home, but I hope that some of this beauty will return with me & perhaps find its way into my work. My mother did this "Big Pink" painting before I was even born. It is a monochromatic study of crumpled paper. I love the way the light coming thru the blinds creates another layer on top of it.
