It is tough to find time to read everything on my wish list. I cut TV out about 25 years ago and watch less than an hour a week. Still, its a challenge. I've been reading a lot these past 5 or 6 weeks- about a book and a half a week. Right now I'm reading a great book: The Yellow House: Van Gogh, Gauguin, and Nine Turbulent Weeks in Arles by Martin Gayford. If you have loads of time, I'd recommend reading Letters to Theo first, but it is awesome.
I LOVED Arles. It is a dinky little OLD Roman town in the south of France, but there is something magical about the light and the atmosphere. Ah yes, and the site of the painting I'm working on is in the same region. Interesting connection.
I can't believe midterm grades were due yesterday. Time is flying for me! Books, Paintings, Writings, Exhibitions and Lectures, and the book illustrations. My mind swirls with ideas and information.
I miss AiCh- coworkers, students, creative energy. It'll be good to go back.
