PLATONIC SOLIDS

Had a lovely night last night. Ate poutine, practiced drawing a dodecahedron and watched twilight. Every so often I get an image or design in my head and I need to research it draw it absorb it. And so it is with the geometry of Platonic Solids. I became aware of the dodecahedron when doing research into the golden ratio and the sacred geometry in art. Leonardo Davinci was particularly absorbed with this form in nature and in an alchemical sense. I think it is beautiful.

10 YEAR REUNION..

I can't believe this but 10 years after my trip to Europe I am going again! yay! I promised Italy I would be back, and it will be so. Milan. Maybe Greece, maybe Paris...we shall see. I had forgotten how much I miss the real world and different spaces. travel! hope springs eternal.

THE DAYS GO BY....

Well another wednesday rolls around..today I did the laundry and went for another walk on the Don. I like this walk, it is visually stimulating as well as being good exercise..wrote letters....drank coffee..all in all a good day off. I feel I am slowly finding myself again. Reconnecting with that inner voice is so important...have plans for a painting for the living room and going to pimp my cards out to shops in Toronto...sigh...work day today....fun later...

NEW ADVENTURES...

This weekend was so great! I went for a power walk along the Don River towards Cherry beach and the trail was awesome. I found the "lampost" too! The weather was great and I really worked up a sweat. I will definitely be doing it again. Sunday I had a great talk with my Mom, I cleaned the fencing in our back yard to get it ready to paint, I called 1-800-got junk and they came and took away all the stuff that was left in the back yard and the living room so now there is so much space!! I re-arranged the living room and put up a couple of new pictures. The back yard has so much potential, I wnt to get some Adanak chairs for sun-sitting and I don't know if it will happen this year but boxes for gardening and flowers..I would like to put Hasta's in there too so pretty and pointy...
