More from the forgotten file…
Another draft from the cutting room floor… While I like the composition to some extent, the color palette just isn’t working for me. Not surprised this ended up in the discarded file. What do you think?

Overlooked
I’ve been doing quite a lot of file organizing and digital “housekeeping” so to speak lately. And aside from the obvious result of tidier hard drives, my memory (no pun intended) has been refreshed with ideas and projects I’d forgotten about. So this evening I’m going to start sharing some of those overlooked pieces and …
mon cher frère
During the course of his life, Vincent Van Gogh wrote hundred of letters to his beloved brother, Theo. Lately, I’ve been reading some of their correspondence and came across a letter last night, part of which caught my attention: “Ah, mon cher frère, quelquefois je sais tellement bien ce que je veux. Je peux bien …
Day 190.2
Inspired by the incredible exhibit Savage Beauty at the Met today….
6 years ago today…
…I was in Stockholm attending an opening with one of my neighbors. We were there to see a piece of my work on exhibition, one which earned me an award that night. The evening was freezing and strangely solemn but there was champagne and a few laughs –not too shabby, really. Time flies…
Year of the Rabbit
Whether you received any red envelopes this year or not, it’s officially the year of the rabbit now–yay! Which gives me a perfect excuse to share another piece by ROA:

Day 177
This one reminds me a little of Swedish artist Alexandra Hedberg‘s recent Snow White drawings and explorations…

As a jump-start to the week, here is a gorgeous piece to get your creative juices flowing, dear readers:
Brain Candy
Today finds Charm City buried once again, in a blanket of sparkling white. The effect is beautiful, bewildering and even a little inspiring though at some point after hours of shoveling, the snow will become less than charming. In the meantime, here is a piece of visually stunning eye/brain candy straight from Japan for you, …
