Salt of the Earth

I think I’m becoming addicted. It hasn’t been a week yet but honestly, today i was craving a Dr. Pepper. i went to the grocery store and got a scone to eat while I shopped (i was starving). Mid way through I was like “damn…. a DP would go really well with this….” . I resisted until I was ready to check out and I passed the fountain drinks…. such a weakness. I can pass up the bottled DP, but not a big cup with little pieces of chopped up ice and a big straw…. ahhhhhhh So i caved. Now I’m all chipper and ready to clean the house, finish laundry, stretch/gesso canvases, homework…etc……

Last night we watched Girl With a Pearl Earring, as part of a homework assignment for my painting class. It’s about Vermeer. WOW. I’ve always loved that painting and even saw it when I was in the Netherlands playing field hockey. It was a beautiful movie. Vermeer’s wife was cookier than shit and his daughter was a horrible brat. But to paint like he did- to see things the way he did. WOW.

OK, off to do chores.
