went to the Van Gogh exibit at MoMA this afternoon. the amazing flash website has the whole exhibit and i recommend it highly. it was incredible. really got to me, just looking at those thick brush strokes and dense, rich colors. i love how on some of his paintings, the raw canvas shows through.

i have to say, these sheep are one of the cooler things i’ve seen lately. or maybe it’s just because i really like sheep, the shape of them, the density of that wool, the way they like to have their sweet heads scratched.
i do also have a soft spot for those old telephone cords. […]
drawing the line…
i’ve got a bump in the road to overcome with my drawing.
i’m having trouble with accepting my own style. it’s not that i think i draw horribly. i’m slow and i definitely need a lot of work before i can feel any kind of confidence in it whatsoever, but i don’t think i suck. […]
art explosion!
huzzah.
had a pretty crappy day at work and then it seemed to take forever until i was able to sit down at my studio table and get to work.
once i got going, though, things started flowing. yes, i did some meh stuff, but at least i got something down on paper. it felt good. […]
back in the saddle again…

sometimes i lay in bed before getting up and dream up the ultimate computer network for our house. it involves a computer-run media center, many redundant terabytes backup drives and a big networked laser printer.
what can i say about this book? it's a lovely memoir of julia child's arrival in paris, her journey learning the language and discovering her life's passion in cooking.
the whole story is special to me, having grown up watching her show on television. mrs. child taught me a great many things about cooking (including the fact that mistakes are okay) and her warm, engaging style comes through in the text. i could hear her warbly voice in my head the entire time i was reading.
