Pickle asked about loneliness
Her questions were: Think of "loneliness" - if it were a color, what color would it be? How would it taste and what would the texture be? Does it have a sound? Does it move or is it stationary
My response:
I think loneliness is the pink in a summer sunset that fades to dusk before twilight comes. It's terribly beautiful and poignant. Loneliness is ( Read more... ) -

Vantablack
Vantablack was created in Britain in 2014. It traps 99.965% of the light spectrum and is the blackest thing in the world. If you went into a room painted in vantablack it would fool your eyes and your brain and you would be unable to perceive texture or depth.
When I think about black, I see my mother's hair and her thickly ( Read more... ) -

Menopausal Mauve
I was in the shower when the latest explosion of a quarter stick of dynamite went off across the lake. Of course, the water amplifies the sound, but it's really atrocious that I can hear it with my ears under water in the shower. "I hate people who are inconsiderate," I thought. But it didn't take more than a minute ( Read more... ) -

Hello Fellow Wanderers and Those Who Hold the Fort Down:

We are still living on our lake and so far it has been a beautifully mild summer, unlike most of the U.S. Our ( Read more... ) -
Stanley Tucci's hairy chest.
Last night I had sex with Stanley Tucci on the floor of a theater, between rows of seats, after watching his new play. It was a very good play. Oddly (but not so oddly), Stanley Tucci's body felt very much like Ken's body. I had to google "Stanley Tucci without a shirt" to see if they had similar chests. Yep. Same chest.
I also had a dream that Ken ( Read more... ) -
Family Superstitions
My mom (and my grandma) had a lot of superstitious sayings and I've used them and passed them down to my daughter. There's one that I'd never heard anyone else say until last night. The superstition is if you drop a piece of silverware it means someone will be coming to the door. A knife means a man, a fork a woman, a teaspoon is a child, and a ( Read more... ) -
Shadows & Light
“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
I went to bed with two portraits waiting to dry and woke up around 2 a.m. and decided, "Hey! I can do another layer!" With great happiness, I've done that now and I'm very satisfied with how they're turning out. One is a watercolor Selkie and the other is a ( Read more... ) -
My Birthing Song
I'm taking an art course with Robin Sturis called "Discovering Your Archetypes. It just started today and she had us meditate on our birth and then write about it. I wrote a poem called My Birthing Song. It came out of me easily, nothing like the pain of entering this world.
After we shared what we wrote, we then spent time painting a visual ( Read more... )
