i took this photo from my dentist office yesterday. i always wonder if the people working in this building ever tire of the view? for me, it never fails to takes my breath away . . . and i love that i get to see it at least twice a year.

antibes, france
i remember drawing this like it was yesterday. it was on the beach in antibes and it was the shoe of my fellow france resident, lisa nappa. i was always drawn to drawing these shoes of hers, the shape was so pleasing to me. that day on the beach was fantastic . . . the mediterranean sun, fromage, and fun. life should be so simple (and i do believe that was the brand of shoe ?).

leather hard.
my absolute favorite stage of clay is when it is leather hard. the contrasts really show up and it is cool to the touch. it changes completely once it becomes bone dry and then of course when it is fired and glazed. i’m searching for a way to keep it looking like this. not an easy task. but stay tuned.

the dress.
i have an 11 year old niece that can now fit into my grown up clothes. when she tried on this dress, that i had purchased at one of my favorite boutiques in san francisco, and looked better in it than i did, how could i NOT let her keep it ! my hand-me-downs have never looked so good.

early morning reflection.
(from my instagram.)
i saw this in the wee hour of the morning while i was still in bed and barely awake. i immediately jumped out of bed to take the photo before the light moved. i love waking up to such beauty and i love capturing something that might never be there again . . .

it’s a breeze.
i made this linen curtain to hang at my front door when i’m not feeling social but want the light and air. i can see YOU, but you can’t see ME . . . and i still get a nice breeze and beautiful natural light. i didn’t realize when i made this curtain that it would be so dense from the outside looking in, but the fabric is completely solid from the outside. i honestly didn’t think i could love linen any more than i already did . . . but I DO !

encore.
guess who else will be marching . . . back to the south of france ? . . . MOI ! i am so excited i can barely stand it. i will be doing the residency again this coming may-june. this is the place that truly inspires me to the core. the food, the people, the light, the mediterranean sea, the colours, the life style, the landscape, the language, . . . i wish everyone could find the place that truly resonates with them. there is nothing better to really feed your soul.
