Shades

Drawing is a meditation on seeing.  


I had this image in just an outline, and I think I still prefer that look, but I wanted to take on the challenge of showing shades and reflections. At first I was confused, how am I going to do that? Then I realized I just have to draw what I see. 


So simple, yet so mind-blowing. The practice is coming along.

Visions Of Providence

Clouds rolling by Narragansett


Rainbow over Federal Hill.






















Sunset after pre-race dinner.














Ironmen run through downtown.



Passing the capitol on the way home.

Somebody tell the sparrows in the park to sit still!
I guess I need to start carrying more inspiring objects in my purse.

We Could Have A Pie Romance

Just had to share a fine bit of pie photography with you.

These things matter, you know.


Via Four & Twenty Blackbirds, a much lauded pie shop in Brooklyn.


We are off to Providence this weekend for a visit with family and a half-ironman, which I hope will generate some content for the blog. 


Also, marathon training started for me this week! I'm running the Philadelphia Marathon with the help of the training programs offered on the Run Well blog of the NY Times. It only has me running four days a week which is ideal for my body, but there are a lot of 18 mile runs in there! We'll see how that goes. Maybe I can coordinate with some Rule #1 Runners.
