vermont.
the view of vermont from the sky is simply amazing. it is like a massive green carpet below. all you see are trees and fields. we flew a tiny prop plane and i was sitting in the co-pilot seat so my view was even EXTRA-extraordinary !

antibes, france
everywhere you turn in the south of france there is a macaron staring you in the face. and the the thing is, you can’t help but stare right back because they are so beautiful. the shape and especially the colors. something about them is so pleasing to the eye. i can draw them all day long.

golfe-juan, france
there was a sweet little flea market in golfe-juan where i bought this key. it was very tortuous because there were SO MANY other things i wanted, but couldn’t carry back with me. i was in such pain.

chamonix mont-blanc, france
i love the mountains when they are covered with snow, but i love them equally when they are not. i spent a bit of time in switzerland years ago and we would go on ski trips, but also to visit the mountains when they were bare and beautiful. chamonix mont-blanc was stunning both ways.

2008
emeryville, ca
when we moved into the townhouse, there was a big empty wall space that i didn’t have artwork for. i quickly drew this on a large piece of tar paper just to tide me over until i found a proper piece. 5 years later, this “temporary artwork” is still hanging up ! my intention this year is to paint a real painting for this spot. so stay tuned . . .

we are celebrating christmas in mexico this year. it feels very strange being in 80 degree weather and eating tropical fruits . . . but i’m NOT complaining !
1991
san francisco, california
in 1991 i took a class in repeat patterns. mind you, this was PRE-photoshop when everything was done by hand. i miss those ‘good old days’ where things were TRULY hand made (i painted this entire pattern by hand). i still can NOT wrap my brain around technology. 2 years ago i learned how to use illustrator to design a line of fabrics and clothing for a children’s clothing company. i successfully designed a whole group of fabrics using illustrator and felt proficient at it for one month. a few months later i couldn’t even scan an image in much less make the image do anything. SO. FRUSTRATING. i truly believe that i am missing the entire left side of my brain.
