Another school year starts.
These two are amazing.
Becca and Jennie are among
my all time favorite alumni.
Shadows and surprises happen.
I built some demonstration sculptures in cardboard
and the students followed suit. About 100 painting students
built sculptures that they will depict in drawings and paintings.
Remember: Surprises and friends are everywhere.
Scott's house at the end of another season.
Scott painted his deck and I shouted encouraging
words from afar because I'm good like that.
Snug Harbor - Staten Island NYC
Park life close to home
More Snug Harbor
and a sculpture by Tattfoo Tan.
My friend the heron has been around a lot this year.
Scott and Janie and I saw Steve in a
production of Urinetown, which was
full of stellar performances and direction.
Tatyana and I on FaceTime acting
NOT AT ALL posed as we take screenshots.
Mom and Dad celebrated their 48th anniversary.
So much love, good fortune and so many stories.
I ran into Steve at the supermarket and
decided that he needs to keep the fuchsia
forelock after his production of Urinetown closes.
Scott and I went to the Whitney Biennial
(more shots from that in another post).

As I mentioned, the heron has been very prominent to me
for the past few months. I looked up the metaphysical meaning
of its presence and it signifies determination and perseverance
as well as stillness and peace of mind. On the same day that I
shot the photo above I noticed this Ganesh statue under a tree.
It's been "in my path" for a few days now and it's widely known
as the remover of obstacles as well as the diety of new beginnings.
I accept these back to back harbingers as signifiers of the space I
am in and the light along the pathway for positive things to come.
More Snug Harbor, including ART LAB.
This is where I took drawing and painting classes
from age 12-13 and where I got my first job assisting
my art teacher (Jean Miesels) with the younger students.
Needless to say it's still a very special place for me.
Aligning myself to the next
phase and ordering the next phase
to align itself to my higher vibration.
