antibes, france
everywhere you turn in the south of france there is a macaron staring you in the face. and the the thing is, you can’t help but stare right back because they are so beautiful. the shape and especially the colors. something about them is so pleasing to the eye. i can draw them all day long.
when i was in france this spring, i posted this photo of my sea glass findings for the day. my friend, jeanine payer, quickly noticed that these were the exact colors of the pantone spring 2013 forecast ! what are the odds of that ? . . . sometimes i feel strangely connected to this world.
do you remember that EXCRUCIATING “guess how many mussels” contest i had when i was in france ? this is what the winner won and here is the photo she sent me of her PRIZE !

antibes, france
i saw some excellent work of BERNARD PAGES at the MUSÉE PICASSO, antibes. i love logs and this was a beautiful wall of logs. i think they were from olive trees.
i can’t believe wilma turned EIGHT today. it seems like just yesterday when i was picking her out of the litter of 9 baby jack russells. i was hoping for a brown + white rough coat puppy (like the frasier dog) . . . but when i saw this black + white smooth haired loner sitting off to the side by herself, while her siblings were in a pile playing with each other, i knew she was the one for me. it was the best decision i ever made. another testimony of how what you THINK you want is not always what you REALLY want or need. one of the many life lessons that she has taught me.
happy birthday sweet sweet girl.
these are some of the vessels i just made in france. i am crazy in love with this black clay that i can only get there. it has the perfect amount of grog in it and is such a joy to hand build with. i’d go back to france JUST for this clay . . . i love it that much.
yes, i am back in california after the MOST inspiring six weeks in the south of france EVER. i met SO many amazing artists, i saw SO much inspiring ART, i ate TRUCKLOADS of the most delicious food, i swam EVERY DAY in my favorite body of water (the mediterranean sea), i soaked in all the Côte d’Azur a girl could possible absorb. in one word, my journey was
“magical.”
but it does feel good to be back in my own atelier and in my own life . . .
and i will ALWAYS go back to the south of france.
always.
