Yesterday was consumed by birthday madness, I took the day off from both my day job as well as the studio. A good time was had, this is such a great age. We have a 2-day window between my Mother-in-Law's departure this morning and my Father-in-Law's arrival on Friday to attempt some normalcy.
On Monday, I took a pretty serious tumble while running early in the morning. I brushed it off at the time, but I am very sore and having trouble getting around even today. This middle-age stuff has its drawbacks, to be sure. I spoke with a friend and former riding buddy last night about attempting the local half-century ride in July. I haven't been on my bike in 2 years, but as I run I keep thinking there is a tri in my future. I just want to do it once. We'll see.
I hope to get back to work tonight and see what happens. My mobility issue means that I'll have to work exclusively on the painting wall.
I love my girls and of course I think they hung the moon. Experiencing life through them on days like yesterday keeps the good aspects of youth close to my spirit and I feel this makes me a better artist.
My blogger friend and fashion designer Mary Jo Matsumoto posted another segment in her series "Art -inspired", this one featured the work of Hans Hofmann. I was deeply into Hofmann just after the girls were born, and my work from that time reflects it. Interestingly, I have been thinking of him in this recent work as well.
Hopefully I'll post pics tomorrow.
