la bea

Well I had intended to write about the horrific weather and wind storm we are currently experiencing in the Great Northeast.
Bear-boy Cat is running around in the pitch dark of the storm at this very moment and i am worried semi-sick about him. He bounded outside just as i cracked the door to let my la Bea inside. He is ever vigilant of any chance to escape paradise to be in the ravages of any storm- the colder, the crazier, the more intense, the better.

Instead, i distract myself with a much sunnier clime: Brazil.
Page 22 of this past Sunday's NYTimes caught my eye with its surging circles of vibrant painter-color, and so i was introduced to the painter Beatriz Milhazes.
Her work is hot, hot, hot.
I just adore it, here is a little feast of it, with links:





Now pretend you are strolling through the gallery, up-close and personal with the art and the show is narrated in Portuguese, it doesn't get much better than this- pure heaven!




Hungry for more work and a biography of Beatriz? Check out this blog entry at Colourlovers.com

Stay warm.

I swear it's true,

this tale about the glue.

kid in art room
and my true-life responses,
as recorded in my sketchbook:

"Where's the glue?"

"Look."

"Where's the glue?"

"Look."

"Where's the glue?"

"Look with your eyes, LOOK!"

"Where's the glue?"

"LOOK!!!" I say in sign-language,
despite the fact
the child is hearing.
My circuits are fried.

"Where is it?"

"Look!!"

"Oh."
