i LOVE chairs. they might just be my favorite subject to sketch. i etched this chair into this plaque in 2000 and it is still hanging on my wall today. i love how the wire gets rusty over the years. i decided to bring this item back into my repertoire. you can see them here and here.
my sketchbook is going back on tour ! it will be traveling with the sketchbook project to pennsylvania, michigan, and ohio. that book is getting more air miles than I AM !
if you can’t catch the tour, you can see my book here.
it’s no secret that i LOVE food. i was raised in a household where food was extremely important and celebrated every day. it didn’t hurt that my dad was a master chef and took great pride in preparing elaborate dinners for the family every night. so how lucky am i to live near chez panisse ?! yesterday i met some of my favorite friends there for an impromptu lunch. it sounds so decadent in a way, as i usually reserve chez panisse for special occasions, but it really is just the best simple food made with the freshest ingredients and love, served in a homey environment. sans frills. just like it was growing up. so simple + true.
and here was my said lunch: housemade bucatini + clams. sensational.
it is finally feeling like fall and time to move the sweaters to the front of the closet. wilma HATES to wear clothes. whenever i put a sweater or a coat on her, she will stand there frozen for several minutes and pretend like she can’t walk. it’s only a treat that will eventually get her to move. but the sweater is not JUST for the cute factor, it really does help keep her warm !
