Redeemed
Mushly finally redeemed her birthday coupon. After a fine lunch at Streamline, she and I slipped into FOG to see Jeffrey Nemeroff's show. That's Mush and Anne below, standing in front of Seascape.
THE COLDEST night of the year

Please Take If You Are Cold
One of the nicest things I've seen: warm caps hanging at the end of Taraval by the path to the beach. There were ten or twenty of the packages - and it was COLD out there. Windy too.

Snow
Our house on Cerro Gordo Road
Chronologically, the photo above really comes first. It was the middle of the night. Larry got up to go to the bathroom. Since a slight chance of snow had been predicted, Barbara asked him if it was snowing. He was very sleepy and didn't feel like it at all, but he peeked out the window anyway. IT WAS SNOWING! Barbara and Larry ran outside and banged on Tom's and my windows. We threw on coats and gathered on the front porch. I hadn't seen snow in 20 years. We were spellbound. Five inches by morning.
New Mexico
Over 80 galleries on Canyon Road and we never made it past the first one, A Sea In the Desert. These two paintings are by Carol Hoy.

Work in Progress
I am so excited to be illustrating this picture book written by E. K. Arnold!
Studio Visit
I felt so lucky. I invited myself over to see Anne Herbst's newest painting, and she said YES! It's one of the largest paintings she's done, and I got lost in it. Above are a couple of my favorite details.
But. Every time I shot a photo of a detail, another amazing detail appeared within the detail I'd just shot. (See below.)
9 Year Anniversary
I met Lucille nine years ago at an inauguration party for Obama. Today she made lunch for me (a healthy salad along with fried calamari !! ) and I brought the prosecco.
