Wonderful day in April on the Pacific Coast. Since our weather is regulated by the Pacific Ocean, there is much less unexpected. I continue to paint. Am glad to say a small picture of oyster shells sold at the Rotary benefit Silent Auction held this year at the heritage museum in Ilwaco, WA.
Lace is a big thing in fashion these days and not the least reason is the fascination of Pablo Picasso with the French lacemakers who undoubtedly held their own in the creation of prodigious works of beauty during his heyday. His fractured drawings full of lace maker pins (i.e.The Judgement of Paris) attest to that. Never fails to be of interest. Perennial relevance.
Native American Elroy Martin, (indeed related) has taken up the Flemish Creuse tapestry weaving where he is lodged in Pine Knot, Kentucky. Op painter Chuck Close dabbled in it. Martin has promised to send me examples. Can't wait.
Gave a couple watercolor classes to a friend in January. Always fun to do.
Since I am enamored with my tablet and cell fone these days, I am not uploading photos. No USB cord. Possibly getting shy? Why not. But who knows: I may be typing to myself. More later. B. Martin
