went in to town this morning to the union square farm market
i have to be honest,
even though i am grateful to have a great greenmarket at grand army plaza,
there is nothing like the one at union square;
the variety is amazing
and after a cool rainy summer,
there has finally been enough heat and sun
to produce summer's bounty

7.28.09 - 331/365

having a hard time facing things
even though the writing's on the wall

7.27.09 - 330/365

so i went to moma today
to "scratch"
and find the "spine"
of my current work
i came up with something on the ride home
i'm not sure whether or not
it held up once i got into the studio

7.21.09 - 324/365

on those days
when i don't do my watercolors today
until tomorrow
everything suffers a bit

7.8.09 - 311/365

another day not in the studio
i am still living my life in the future
this isn't working for me

6.21.09 - 294/365

so this was it
the summer solstice
the longest day of the year
and at 5 pm i need the lights on in the studio
it's sad to me
that now the days get shorter
and with all the rain this spring
we never got to have the experience of them lengthening
it's my absolutely favorite part of the year
and it didn't happen

the burdock and the arugula are going nuts
the tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, broccoli and peas would love a little sun
the mosquitoes are in heaven

6.9.09 - 282/365

this weather is bumming me out
i hate when this happens
one of my favorite things in life
is the experience of the days getting longer
in may % june
but it's been raining for the past 2 months
so it's been impossible to enjoy that
now there are 11 days left
until they get shorter again
this depresses me
i feel gypped

4.9.09 - 221/365

there is no going back

there was a time
when this image
would have spoken volumes
but that was a long time
ago

the sad thing is
that i really don't recognize
anything at all

2.16.09 - 169/365

swimming upstream today

life as a potato

12.16.08 - 107/365

for fgr & self portrait in christmas balls

this was harder than i thought because
(and sorry, there's no way to write this without saying "balls" in some pretty strange contexts for a girl)
while i have a ton of ornaments
i don't have a lot of balls
and it seems that i mostly have old balls
and they don't reflect that much anymore
and i seem to specialize in blue balls
which
even though it will be the theme of my tree
"blue" was just a little to literal for today
which left me with this
one of my largest balls
but barely reflective...


not as nice a day as yesterday

12.15.08 - 106/365

it was a beautiful day to be outside today

even though
i felt like hiding
too

i also feel i need to start
but i can't risk stopping again
i am going to wait for that clear space
as wrong as that feels in a way

12.2.08 - 93/365

truth be told...
i was really going for the legs
of the people
sitting at this counter
in the window
of yet another
dreaded starbucks

and around the corner:
