The art of enjoyment




Hi there,

We're all tired here. Maybe it's the snow, or the scurrying around to
finish the last details on our show, or the work deadlines layered
over and under art deadlines. But we are. Three coffees later the
mood changes, and a hyper tired, but determined, witty vibe
surfaces. What to do with that? Prepare show handouts? Paint some
more? Mark English papers? Escape? For an artist thick with
paint under her fingernails, dark circles from burning the midnight oil,
and too much to do -- Allure Magazine http://www.allure.com/offers
about the fluffiest escape route possible -- beautiful women teaching
the rest of us how. Maybe the next time I crawl out my front door I can
look like I know how to behave. The magazine offers that hope -- and
in the current world (another snowstorm coming) hope seems to be a
vital commodity.

Here's a glimpse of what I'm working on today.

Have an alluring day!
