| We covered up our scrimshaw show (I just couldn’t erase it) with 5-foot-tall tree paintings. We added some smaller tree paintings, as well, and I am pressing fall leaves for a mobile. No, we rarely sell anything there, but I know people like it because they leave little gifts, like, this week, a folder of impressionist prints. I can’t wait all my life for people to buy my paintings, galleries to hang them or just the right situation. |

Blair and I are working on an architectural competition together. Contrary to the robust discussion the neighbors are hearing, it isn't a double burial tomb. It’s the redo of a bombed out church just outside of Bologna, in Settefonti. It is a site of a castle from 1105, which was on a key road from Bologna to Arezzo – the Romanesque church first appeared in the 14th century, and was restored in the 17th. It had the misfortune to be on the “Gothic” line during WWII and was destroyed except for a bell tower and part of the façade. “ReuseIT” is an international organization which rehabs sites like these, mostly in Italy, and to whose call we are responding to. We are going to the Venice Architectural Biennale next week for further inspiration. We’re all staying overnight in an apartment near Palladio’s Villa Malcontenta.
This isn’t a project we have to follow through with a construction team – it is just a competition for an idea of what to do, with a modest prize for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. |

| Just this week, the sun has reached the perfect rakish angle for illuminating the fall color. The moon was most impressive, and when it hasn’t been out, what seem like thousands of stars twinkle above in the crisp clear night. Winter, my favorite season for light, is right around the corner, with new projects on the horizon. |

INVITING All Artists to present their Work: Paint, Literature, Crafts, Food....
Pessemier's Sunday Salon
Weekly on Sunday No Reservation Necessary
How it works: Bring a piece of your ART: that could be visual, like painting or printmaking; or literary, as in poetry or prose; or crafts, like metalwork or knitting; or food, or music. Something you made, or feel particularly inspired by. You have about 5 minutes to present, and we'll ooh, ahh, or answer questions you have. You can also come and see how we work before diving in. Just show up on Zoom at a minute or two before the hour.
No selling, no networking until after everyone has presented. No politics, no sales pitches, please. |
