One a Week: 34

My plein air demonstration during a class I taught at the Abington Art Center this morning was quick and monochromatic. The focus was simplification. 

Simplification in the mist of a chaotic 'first week of summer vacation' for my kids...which includes irregular schedules, blocks of free time, and daily (maybe hourly?) requests for electronics.

I required both children to complete a project before watching a show on TV so that I could have time to write this post. I have about 8 minutes left. Then we are off to the dentist.

It's just life in the fast lane...

What a little temple of beauty and emptiness! I want to put some of my gods and goddesses in there; not the big heavies but the little ones, the ones I use everyday just to make it through the day. I want them to know they can have this as a home, to stay in as long as they like. A humble and elegant place, known but not known, and if they ask me where it is, I'll say "I saw it in a painting".
