Lilac Window

Welcome back. How are you guys? I have been painting a little this week. BUt i cant share one with you as its a surprise. I have so many painting ideas – you know? “Never enough time” never felt more true.

Hey! I found three bands you might like. “Angus and Julia Stone”, “Jonsi” and “Broken Bells”. Do you like that sort of indie, pretty music? It sort of gets under Mark’s skin. He hates it. Makes him play the AC/DC so much LOUDER! I wonder if all guys are like that. Because I cant get enough of it. I play it in the morning, and it makes me feel like living. It gets me all tingly and inspired. It makes me think I might live in New York, and have a loft studio and lots of arty friends.

Here’s another question. Does facebook have some sort of freaky search/popularity engine in it? I always wonder the difference between “most recent” and “Top news”. I think it rates comments on how popular they are, and then shows you. That’s why I see the same people over and over, and their the ones that have, like, 16 comments. Yesterday I made a  random post about putting whip cream on macaroni and got like 15 comments, and lots from people I never hear from. That makes me think I might have jumped up a notch, and that I should quickly post some art on there.

I am a daydreaming wreck recently. I’m having a spring-life crisis. I am panicking that Im not making enough, not living my dreams, not serving AHHHH! Take me to to Kenya with Jenipher Waseke, at her school for local agriculture, and forget all this Angst! Put me to good use – please! SOMEBODY!!

That or give me a job at an art college, a second job doing architecture – with either a small office or for the city, a gang of hippies to build my straw bale with, my own art school with a successful gallery, time every year overseas with my kids, a good school for them to go to, a job for the husband that he loves, a great band of friends, and spare time with expanses of water, trees, birds… somewhere gorgeous….please?

And then I remember, I’m looking after and raising two big boys. I know. I know. But then, there’s my architectural certification that’s getting moldy, and a thousands of paintings yet to do, and my art school to run, and a passion for making things – especially out of paper. Designing books/layouts/presentations/workshops. Yeah, I gotta get on that.

Oh man. We gotta stop meeting like this. You want a matcha to chill out on the back porch a little? perhaps some Xi Gong too. “Get yourself Healthy” (Micheal Tse)

Hehe. OOps. I actually started this conversation because I wanted to link back to my very own Camping list, from last year. I am so excited I put it on the blog, or it would be lost by now. How great is that. My camping list is already made. Don’t you want to go camping with us? Its going to be so fun. I cant wait to sit, watching the kids throw rock in the creek, chatting with my friend, enjoying the smells and mosquitoes. eeeek. ecstatic.
