last day of high school classes
was monday.
afterwards, i got in the subaru
to drive to vermont to stay here
and go to long ridge farm.
good eating and shopping here
community art
~a community
at work~
a wall in front of the coop
and some humans came along
to longridge farm
where i return this year
as a student
of dorothy caldwell
we made marks in many ways on the first day
looks like starling flight
roxanne is my amazing table partner
she (of the white coat
which i did not touch
because i had india ink on my hands) pictured below
some odd brushes were made
which made interesting marks
ink on paper
(i remember the brushes i made
out of turkey beards and sticks
in oz in february)
i was compelled to pour water over my marks
others were more reserved
(but not really, look closely!)
here's roxanne's amazing coat
today we looked at yesterday's work
pages
kantha
today we made marks with thread
after looking at kanthas
i like these fish
one woman's marks
this composition was
on betsy and nancy's table.
the contrast between working in black and white
and the riot of green and
flowers
in the great northern woods
is huge!
it is very good to be away and here,
working and learning.
