warming up

I’ve decided to take a breather from my graffiti post since its format became thoroughly painful, ludicrous, bizarre. unmannerly and counter intuitive. My luddite  gene vibrated.

So I decided to muck around on an old painting which has gone through countless mutations and will continue to do so. But it  serves a higher purpose – to soothe my agitated hackles, to warm me up and get me moving while  I recharge my batteries.

  1. Hi Marcia,

    We seem to start in the middle of a conversation. What graffiti post? Was it here and I missed it? I am sorry. Anyway I am delighted to have you back and the painting is wonderful.

    Love Barbara

    Sometimes it’s good to start in the middle of a conversation, (even in the middle of a sentence – SJ Perleman did) so what if it’s hard to follow - so you’ll just have to invent, make it up as you go along – truth isn’t everything.
    I think my google blogger has a bug – I tried to format some photographs and drawings last night – but it didn’t work, I finally had to give up after several tries - they still showed up on the dashboard of my car car car - but I think after tomorrow they’ll be removed and I can try again. It’s no big deal or tragedy but it’s the principle that counts.
    I’m glad to be back even if it’s intermittently. It sounds as though you had a very nurturing thanksgiving. We were at a lavish wedding in Montreal. Also got to visit the Otto Dix show at the museum.

    Love, Marcia
