2020 first day.

A somber woman really

Has no regrets

As she shuttles between daylight and night

Her loom true

Patterns familiar, intricate

Woven into the fabric of her existence

Here, in this room

She has watched the light upon her delicate hands

Slowly caress the nimbleness of age

Outdoors through the window

Children circle the tree of life

Occupied with the earths patient caress

As the day closes

As the garments are placed just so on the chair

As she soothes her hands and spirit

Dreams of the recollection

Of the pattern

Of the pattern she weaves of time.

ARt League ceramics

Coming to the end of my first class at the art league, ceramics with Toni Rosenbaum.  Very nice teacher, great demos and a very chill vibe, you can experiment and work at your own rate which is just right for me.

This week did an art fashion show in Patchogue which was nice but not well attended.  I think they will learn and do this better next year.

I am starting to teach a class tomorrow at 5 towns college, I am a bit worried by ability to translate and teach what the kids are looking for will not be adequate.

Always the fear of failure.  Always never quite good enough.  I guess the life of an artist.  It is a difficult life, but the ones who are so self confident, I rarely trust that.

First post for the ART LEAGUE!

This is my first post for my new residency at the Art League of Long Island.

I began my first ceramics class last week, it is  a Tuesday morning/afternoon class and I am looking forward to getting back to work on my slab pieces I had worked on in the past.

this was the piece I created last week. 
also this week I am taking a solarplate workshop with ChrisAnn Ambry and am looking forward to that on Wednesday.

Thursday Wendi and I are performing for the gala at Chashama at 1 world trade center.  I am still painting the hats for this event and it will come down to the wire.
