i love new art supplies, though the color of the actual gouache looked pretty much nothing like the color on the tube.

au revoir.
today i am leaving california to continue my love affair with the SOUTH OF FRANCE ! i’m doing another residency and am so excited and ready to be far away from my “work” here and to stir up my creative juices. i’m looking forward to making things that I want to make, just for the sake of making. i’m also looking forward to daily farmers markets, swimming in the mediterranean sea, gorging on cheese, rosé season, warm weather, sea glass, and so much more . . .
(if you want a quick synapses of what i’ve been up to, my new newsletter is out.)

friday field trip (from the sketchbook).
july 2005
ullastret, spain
we had dinner at this INCREDIBLE restaurant in northern spain. it was truly an epic meal. so much so, that i left one of my word rocks on the waitress’s tip tray. usually, i leave my rocks around the world in obscure places hoping people will find them, but i wanted our waitress to have it . . . 9 years later, she tracked me down on FACEBOOK and posted this picture of said rock. she says she carries this rock with her everywhere she moves to. now she lives in england. it sends chills down my spine . . .

indigo love.
my friend brought me these chunks of indigo from morocco. UNBELIEVABLY beautiful, no ? i am starting to love and appreciate more color in my life. it all started after my trip to panama. my eyes suddenly opened up and accepted bright colors. it’s never too late.

bocas del toro, panama.
i was hoping to find panamanian sea glass on this trip, but i was surprised to find ZERO. instead, i found a LOT of coral. i became obsessed with the bounty of beautiful coral washed up on the shore.
