Well, the party crowd just cleared out. Vivian, Sandra, and I were given an open studio party from Jill and Gloria. A group of locals, friends of the Foundation, spent time looking at our work and asking lots of questions.
Two British women who live on the island and with whom I had a particularly nice talk said that every time they visit the Foundation, they have to rethink their old concept of art. They excitedly told me that I was making them un-learn old ideas about what art is, about one's physical experience to the world, and more. That is exactly what I just love to hear, so I could not have been more pleased. It was a nice evening.
I said I wanted to make that last big piece, something of a dream piece, right? But that I was letting it go, because of my little cold and taking care of myself, right?
I made it. I made it this morning and now it's drying. If all goes well, it will be the start of a new series. I'm guessing from the computer chair here that the piece is 1.5' x 3'. Jill told me it was a breakthrough piece for me. Fingers crossed that it turns out. . .
The moon is orange for the second night in a row. I have photos, but none do it justice. Its light on the water is orange as well.
Have a good evening. I'm turning in with a book. Kali spera sas.

Amy,
I am savoring every word of your blog. I am living vicariously through you - even though, I guess I'm on my own adventure too!
Wishing you much love, creativity, serenity and peace
your friend,

I hope you savor every last minute of this wonderful retreat, Amy! Today, I shall go to the Greek festival here in H'ton and think of you as I watch the dancers and eat wonderful food under this very blue sky. Love and hugs,Sue
