Artnotes: Covering the News

Somehow I have gotten off the track and have nothing to write for Artnotes this week.   Honestly, time rushed away like the stormwater last week:  we had terrible rain and significant floods.  As I write the studio fireplace smells of water and creosote.  The Fountain of Youth, my touchstone in Rocca Malatina, has all but disappeared.   We are thinking of stopping by again today to try to rebuild some of it.

I’ve painted lots of pictures this week, mostly to cover up the news – I really love painting over the papers with joyful, happy images. See?

Berlino barely set foot outside for two days, only under the direst urgency.  One of our walking roads was washed out, but has since been restored (the beauty of a dirt path).  The sun has since come out in full sauna force creating rare and unusual forms, like this stinkhorn mushroom.  I thought it was some sort of toy Berlino unearthed, but no, it’s a real mushroom.   It’s great to have a dog to blame for anything out of the ordinary.

The fruit crops are remarkable this year, with the first figs coming on.  I am working on my “tree” wall, with branches, leaves, fruits, birds and insects.  It will be our next show at the little gallery.  I actually made a sale there last week.  Hip hip hooray.

We’ll see old friends this week.  We look forward to swimming with them  in Lake Vico, so next week I’ll have more to talk about.
