i have been missing the act of painting

studio has been all drawing lately, so i been getting my color fix in fabric.

a long ago borrowed book found its way home recently. i flipped through trying to remember reading it and found an underlined passage, which reminded me how much i have been missing the act of painting.

"the purpose of the craft is not so much to make beautiful things as it is to become beautiful inside while you are making those things." from the knitting sutra by susan gordon lydon

"so third grade"

there is a great review of Our Friendship Rules in the hidden gems section of the january Ingram newsletter. thank you, norma lilly for saying "The real delight of this book is Alissa Imre Geis' imaginative illustrations...Her touches are so third grade." because that was exactly what i was going for.
