sea rocks du jour.
there is so much inspiration and beauty to be found out in nature. i can spend hours just sitting on the beach looking at nature’s treasures . . .
these colors and shapes were very appealing to me.

cape cod.
after a full day of travel we finally made it to cape cod. we flew to boston and then drove to provincetown, the tip of cape cod. what a beautiful and FUN place to be. it’s a constant party on the street, beautiful beaches, galleries galore, LOBSTER ROLLS, etc . . . the perfect start to my holiday.

back to nature.
tomorrow we leave for 4 days in cape cod and then off to our annual summer in vermont. i’m looking forward to a little rest (though i am bringing some work with me) and a LOT of nature. i had an intensely busy month catching up with the previous month that i took off. it’s kind of a vicious circle, no ? BUT i’m reading the 4-hour workweek and i feel like a change is a coming . . . stay tuned.
you can keep a closer watch here.

this is picasso’s man with a sheep that stands in the main square in vallauris. i would pass by it many times a day. it is so powerful, you can’t walk by and not notice it.
“in the context of the symbol of sacrifice, picasso’s sculpture of the man with the sheep, of 1942-1943, assumes a unique position in his life work. it was created during those anguished years of the second world war of which churchill wrote that “everyone realized how near were death and ruin.” after the war picasso donated a bronze cast of this sculpture to the town of vallauris as a memorial to the resistance fighters.” (art journal vol.32. no. 3. spring 1962)
