Another lousy day in paradise
I am having a hard time staying in the office today, it is really beautiful outside. This time of year, you never know when the rain is going to start.
Speaking of "this time of year" the art season is about to start, and there are two shows I am really looking forward to. The first being Carolyn Zick at Shift gallery.
Secondly, Ed Wicklander is having a show at Greg Kucera. Go go check 'em out!
And, don't forget Bumbershoot!! Tonight it's FREE!!

some of our fab collection
Scott and I have alot of, um, 'stuff'.
Can you believe someone didn't want this and gave it to a thrift store?
We really like paint by number paintings.
Jesus!
This is a lousy photo of a cool plaster dog.

Clay horse head
So I have been making this horse head out of clay for a really long time.
I probably started it in late May or early June, I can't quite remember.
The mane was really hard, and I still don't like it.
I have decided to be done with it, even though other parts of it bug me, too.
Scott's been working with porcelain, and I really want to finish this one so I can do one in porcelain.
I have no idea what sort of surface treatment I will do after it's fired.

I know I am the only one who finds this the least bit interesting
But I just love the cats and the garden. Here are one or two (or five) more pictures.
This is Jake. He is asleep on the doorstep.
The garden is full of sculpture, mostly found object. This is a rubber glove mold in a cement conduit.
This is one of the fuschias this year -- this one is 'Marshmallow'.
This is 'Goldie Gull'. It was named Dahlia of the year for 2005.
I have forgotten what the name of this geranium is, but it is just beautiful -- with lots of flowers.

I got up a little early today...
so I could hang out in the garden for a while.
Since my yard is pretty shady, my dahlias bloom a little late. These two are the first, a black button dahlia called Fidalgo Blackie and a star dahlia called Pinwheel.
For some reason my jasmine is blooming again -- I have never had that happen before, usually it just blooms in the spring.
This is a shot up through the jasmine arbor, and a closeup of the flowers.
These little guys are just cute.
Bug was so excted I was out there with her, she wouldn't stop racing around. This is the best shot.
Lillies are my favorite of all time -- the spotted stargazers have the most wonderful, complex fragrance; sort of like chocolate.

Carolyn's Show!
I finally made it to Carolyn's show at Highline. I just love her line quality and the strange scary dark she gets. I remember way back in the dark ages when I was learning to draw, I was struggling with something, suddenly the thought came to me, "Carolyn wouldn't be afraid of doing this". It was really a breakthrough for me, to understand the difference between being inspired by someone vs. copying their moves. Thanks Carolyn!
Highline doesn't have Carolyns work up yet on their gallery page, but they do have a webcam! Until the show is taken down, you can look at it that way.
Here are a few of my favorites:

The Garden and some cats
Here are some pictures of my garden, with some cats thrown in for good measure.
here is some astilbe
This lime green bleeding heart is called "Grandma on LSD" The name alone is great, but the lime foliage and pink flowers (not shown in photo) are really great. the purply things are oxalis.
Scott took out the fireplace, and has stacked the bricks in the NE corner of the garden. I think they look like a sculpture. We are going to make a patio with them, maybe.
This, believe it or not is an allum. Scott got me all these cool allum varieties for my birthday last fall. This is my favorite.
Binkie used to be too afraid to go outside, but then Mary the Cat Psychic told her it was ok. Now she naps on the walk in front of the kitchen garden.
