Sat in the front window of my favorite coffee shop today watching the rain and trying to come up with a concrete idea that will absorb all of these butterfly rumblings in my head. I’m starting on two paintings today. One not too big and one not too small. I was looking over my sketchbooks for a jumping point and came across an entry from spring of last year that I wrote on a day much like today while sitting in this same spot. I did a sketch of Broad and people were rushing around to avoid the weather. One person I remember clearly was a mammoth of a man under a child sized Mickey Mouse umbrella running across the street to wait under an awning. Strange.

At the reception
It’s mostly over! For the past couple of weeks I’ve been volunteering on a committee to organize an art sale to benefit the Putnam County Hurricane Relief Fund to help rebuild a town affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and today concluded the grunt work. Soliciting has never been my strong point even if it’s for a good cause. We had the opening reception of Art in Action this afternoon and quite a bit was sold. I enjoyed the schmoozing with other artists, and Jason was nice enough to come hang out. Now that this is over, I start my stint as publicity manager of the Art Prowl which will be in November. I’ll also be doing general publicity for the ART organization. I’m excited.
