Ah, this one is Jasper, who belonged to Mary, who will be sending me his story for the book soon-
I have to admit I am pleased with myself for being able to get these done and posted each day, so far... because I have been so distracted and distressed with the world and the next big problem and what I can do about it. Having these paintings to work on is really comforting for me.
And another comfort is PBS kids-
Just saying! I don't intend these posts to be political, but these days it feels like just living is a political act, and so last night after celebrating Duane's birthday at Vivir in Northeast (excellent tacos people!) we came home and I had a little work to do so we put on PBS kids, free public tv, and some of our families favorite background noise, if you know what I mean, and I blundered across "Brambletown"- Directed and animated by Eric Power (whose work I love, from Cloud Cult and Jeremy Messersmith videos!) and with original music by the Okee Dokee Brothers it made me cry and made my night and made me love Minnesota even more- people, we NEED these videos, these stations, these emotions! We need to be children and be simple and just love and want to be with others too~
Okay, enough of my soap box! Just support your local public radio and television and all that! Think of the people who can't afford cable or internet and this is who you are helping to connect to the world.
You are doing a great job!
