grumpy man at the MoMA

new york's museum of modern art has a beautiful exhibit of richard serra's enormous sculptures right now. there are some curvy ones inside that actually made me a bit nauseous and gave me a headache after being around them- but in the best possible way

edward's dragon

i painted the outline of this dragon with expert direction from my nephew edward- he then helped with filling in and color choices. he is an excellent painter in his own right- very good at caves and volcanoes and the color red.

iris spiral

my wonderful niece iris made this with two perfect strokes- sometimes i get jealous when i watch little kids paint because their intentions and joy are so pure and unfettered- the results are expressive and beautiful without all the second-guessing and over-thinking us grown-ups like to include
