Farmers Market flowers for the kid show, I forgot to include this one. The marigolds were so stinky at first, but they were so perfect I had to get them anyways. And look at that Cock’s Comb! Actually it should be called Cock’s Brain I think, it was a bunch that had grown together.
Made by Joel, a blog by an amazingly creative dad, such great ideas, I feel shamed that I do not spend so much time figuring out fun stuff for my kid to do. . . clicked on it first at I Made it So.
and Freunde von Freunden, a German sort of site like The Selby, thank you Emma for posting the link.

The kid show. I am terribly exhausted, but, it was the best show I have ever hung. The walls of this old house have never been so refreshed I think. What a night, downpour of rain that made a river through the walk, Dan swooping in like a hero, the clouds peeling pack with my prayers, and many more adoring art fans than I anticipated. I wish the world could have seen these pieces, especially the titles, I’ll post some more about that tomorrow. I am now the owner of Jude’s “the bluish shine” and Helena’s elegant wire face, should it not be in the MOMA?

The title, what Marshall says for “little bit”, usually used when asking for a taste of my ice cream, or wanting more of a cartoon. . .
Images, preview of the Kid Art Show we are throwing at White Whale, Saturday August 14th at 6:30 pm. There will be cookies made by the mothers of all the artists (all are great cooks actually), hopefully a dry sidewalk for chalk drawing, and a sheet tent I have yet to configure. And lots of great art, painted and drawn with a rare abandon that most of us since have lost. Some of the pieces will be for sale, others reserved for archives. The monster (google eyes), triceratops (blues with pink pencils), and collage by Marshall. The photos of the cake and the sculpture were taken by Mollie, they are done by Jude and Henry. We are all hoping for more cakes, I have a feeling that one’s for the archive. . .

Today, packed a suitcase full of objects and rushed them into setups at the studio for my paintings, new ones and some from the last White Whale show. Here are some sneak peeks, I’m sure you’ve already seen these here before, but in other environments. Given my affection for antique stores and the like I thought I might attempt to style just such a background for these little ones. Still not quite happy with the lighting. . .
You’ll see these come up in the shop over the next few days. . .

So of course the week after we go crazy preparing for the White Whale show I have a wedding to arrange flowers for. Have I ever posted any of my arrangements? I’m cutting back on my flower arranging, I can’t quite handle everything on my plate, though I love it all, family, art, flowers. . . art and family won. It is sooooooo much work, but the flowers are amazing. Look at them, perfection with a stem. Magenta peonies, good pick bride, the prettiest bouquet flower ever. Thank you mother, and Erin, and Julia for all your help.
By the way, the Art Bomb show was great, I am invigorated to work. Yes, I should have taken pictures, I brought my camera, but it rode in the stroller. I couldn’t put my eye behind a lens and keep track of Marshall at the same time. . .
Ok, I going on vacation this week. . . you may or may not see anything new for a while. . . at least for a week.

The exquisite culprits who have been munching my herbs. Why do they have to be so pretty?
My ridiculous brain miscalculated dates for the best art show of the year in Greenville at the Art Bomb and so, I came a night early. And they graciously let me in and Paul showed me around and of course I am still blown away, every time I recall what I saw. The most talented, innovative group of artists in the area, you must go see the results of all their hard work, Saturday, that is. 6pm-9:30pm.
