I have just started reading the book Art Objects, a collection of essays written by Jeanette Winterson about art. I can tell already this book will stimulate my mind, and give me a fresh perspective on all things art. The first essay is about learning to see the art object before you, how it takes time to see things fully and how said object can open the heart of it’s viewer. It reminds me of how little time I spend visiting real live galleries these days, and instead take in most of my “art viewing” via the internet, where my viewing time for things is less than a minute. Shame on me.

Do you want to know the good thing about rainy days? (Because there has to be an upside to everything.) I get so much more done at home when the weather is crappy for any length of time, because it gets me feeling nesty. I’m on an organizational kick right now because I want my studio/workspace in my apartment to be more inspiring and organized. I see furniture rearranging in my future…
Five great moments from the weekend:
1. Yogathon in the rain.
2. Fresh made organic pizza.
3. Sunday morning breakfast at The Omlettry (I think that’s how you spell it.)
4. Finding bargains at a yard sale.
5. Making silly videos while waiting for our food to come.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. It looks like rain for us but I’ll think sunny thoughts.
