Norton Wisdom Saturday night I went to an awesome underground party. I initially thought that I would leave by 2:30-3 am but I ended up staying until about 6 am. I was a bit stressed about it because I had to work and the next day I always work every single weekend so I can never truly enjoy a late night out. So sometimes, I just have to say, "Fuck it!"
The music was oh-so-danceable and there was a live action painter by the name of Norton Wisdom. The website doesn't do his work any justice because what is truly amazing is that he paints to the music on a large backlit screen. His paintings are continually dissolving and morphing into other images. He works quickly and it is as if he is channelling energy from the spirit world. The divine is what moves his hand through the viscous layers of light and dark. Wisdom has performed with many bands (including some very well known ones) throughout the world, and has shown internationally in galleries and museums. You can see a whole different series of paintings that he has worked on through the years here at the Patricia Correia Gallery.
Perfect Sometimes I find myself envying the woman who has the studio next to me. She has a separate life complete with husband and two kids. She comes in Monday through Friday around 9 am and leaves around 5 to be home in time to take care of her children.
Her husband has come in several times, usually donning a suit and he has helped her move many heavy items into her studio. He recently put in an air conditioner for her. I wonder if her life is a s perfect as it seems. It is hot. I wish I had a fan.

Strange Dream Last night I dreamt that I was shooting up heroin with a friend of mine. It was my second time and I told myself that I had better stop before it becomes a habit.
Just to let you know, I've never done heroin and have no desire to try it. Don't know where this dream came from. Perhaps it is because I have a tendency to overindulge in general.

I'll Be Back... I've been a bad blogger lately and I haven't been pleased with my posts. I am going to take a break. I know that I don't post very often, but this break is going to be official. I need to create some space in my mind for other things. Because even though I am an infrequent poster, I am always thinking about what to write here. (I think that my spotty internet connection has something to do with my delinquency.)
I promise to eventually post pictures of my studio, but not now. I need to rethink, uproot, and revamp my inner and outer environnment. I want my blog, life, and art to be more "together". I'll be back in a few weeks...maybe a month. In the meantime, I'll be visiting San Francisco, eating lots of good food, recharging, and regaining some creativity and productivity. Thanks to the people who visit here (it's a small readership!), for your emails, and your comments (thanks, Dave!). See you in a little while!

Cooking for Mr. H Today's menu:
Lunch: Salad Romaine and cucumber Sandwich Sloppy Joes- Santa Fe style Dinner: Salad Frisee and fennel Entrée Liver and onions With Mashed yams and corn "Ew, liver and onions!" You may say, but that is what I always make Mr. H on Sundays. I must make it for him once a week. Yesterday's menu was a little more interesting: Lunch: Salad Cottage cheese crunch Small plate Shrimp cocktail Dinner: Salad Celery root with watercress dressing Entrée Mini meatloaf With Parsley mashed potatoes and balsamic red onions The meatloaf was a hit and I will make it at home someday soon. Mmm!
