without a reason…
Was just watching Gerhard Richter, Painting… Gerhard Richter Painting trailer from Kino Lorber on Vimeo.View video above on vimeo Kind of warming up to his grays and the way he “buries” the colors in it and in white and in blacks. Black and white never appealed to me but now I can see it in […]
grays and blacks…
Back in the studio after some well deserved relaxing with family and friends, watching some nice movies, reading some nice books, long walks, puttering in the garden (grateful for a year round season in LA, though fearing for the lettuce drowning in all the rain) and watching the rain fall and spend some time in […]
a live on its own… (unfinished works in process)
I am always amazed and captured by how ideas come as I keep working on a painting, and how it takes on a life on its own, telling its story . . . starting with this . . . to this . . . more to come . . . Check the availability of original […]

painting in progress…
Its slowly taking shape…. and changing shape… still a few elements are missing but the basics are there… shadows and highlights in the face and hand, still a bit harsh and contrasting without the final layers and colors yet. I wanted to capture the moment of nourishment, the spoon feeding I had […]

Each Note Advice doesn’t help lovers! They’re not the kind of mountain stream you can build a dam across. An intellectual doesn’t know what the drunk is feeling! Don’t try to figure what those lost inside love will do next! Someone in charge would give up all his power, if he caught one whiff of […]
On a lazy Sunday afternoon . . .

Filling the creative well…
Getting out and about visiting friends in Berkley and Santa Cruz, just cruising 😉 and “filling up the creative well”. Julia Cameron writes about that in her book “The Artist Way“, she calls them “artist dates” and I have been neglecting them lately. I always somehow get to do my writing in the morning, but […]
Hiking
I love hiking! I just don’t like the part of getting up early, and here in LA you have to get up early as sitting in traffic would just defeat the purpose and you come back with lungs full of bad air again. So I drag myself out of bed and walk… it’s so rewarding. […]
exited beyond words…
Harmony by Remedios Varo, so detailed! In the beginning of this month I was lucky to make it to the last day of the exhibit “In Wonderland: The Surrealist Adventures of Women Artists in Mexico and the United States,” at LACMA. It was amazing and beyond words. So now, belated and slowly settling down, I […]
rainbow
The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears. ~Native American Proverb I have been tricked by flying too close to what I thought I loved. Now the candleflame is out, the wine spilled, and the lovers have withdrawn somewhere beyond my squinting. The amount I thought I’d won, I’ve lost. My […]
Re-thinking…
Have you ever wondered about the meaning of your life? Would you say we are “creating” it, or do you rather refer to it as a “search” or quest? In the face of the vastness (and the disasters) of this universe how do you deal with the realization of how small and fragile and insignificant […]
Walk with me…
Having some amazing time Down Under, marveling about life and death and the impermanence of it all and yet how persistent live hangs on to live and keeps on going and doing… Just look at all those tiny balls made by crabs on the beach what a huge work of art it is for those […]
