Thanks To A Thief

Yesterday, I got back from my trip to SF. Lot's of good eating.

Now, I am watching a little French Open and thinking about how to get back into a painting rythm. Aside from pulling out some unfinished pieces, I started to do last minute touch-ups on some recent sketches. One being of Modigliani's Woman with a Fan that, along with some other pieces, was stolen a few weeks ago. Though I had heard of Modigliani before and I recognized his work, I had not really taken a closer look up until today. I started googling his images and I fell in love with his work featuring women, but also his beautiful use of color and tone. I am now excited to to some Little Girls inspired by his work. And so thanks to a thief, who stole the work from a Paris museum, I would not have read the article in the LA Times and thus googled Modigliani.

This is when I love life's flow.

The piece here is titled Miss Stress. It's is one of my very first pieces. It is inspired by Picasso and looking at it today, I love it more than before. I see how my Little Girls have evolved and I am curious as to how they will evolve with the passing years.

And so now back to some googling, a little snack of milk and cookies, and hopefully some more sketching. Tomorrow, I promise I will paint.

Happy June 1st!
