I had a lovely studio day today, just working slow and steady.  Sometimes I really dig the ultra-fine brush work.  If the painting’s dry by tomorrow, I will begin working on the wires.  You will not believe the amount of wires on these poles.  It has to be some sort of code violation.  The finished painting will look like I made them up, but I’m telling you right now I will be staying true to the photograph.

Misia’s out of town for a couple days.  We have broccoli in the fridge that needs to be eaten, and let me be the first to tell you that making a portion of broccoli for one is as dull as it sounds.  But eating the produce before it goes bad is what we do for love.

I first saw this print by Clifton Burt posted by a friend on Facebook, and I fell in love with it.  It gave me feelings.  It’s exactly what I feel all the time.  And, it’s a haiku.

I showed it to my girlfriend, and the first thing she said was “buy it.”  She understood right away why I loved it.  She is the type of person who hems and haws over the purchase of a sandwich, so when she said “buy it,” I knew she meant it, and I knew that she gets me to the core.  That’s love, kids.  Happy VD.
