Supposedly, Monday (or Blue Monday) was the nadir of winter, the most depressing day of the year. And while January-February is never a walk in the park (mostly because all the trees are frozen and barren and the ground is choked with snow), it really hasn't been that bad this year. I *thought* it was going to be awful, back in November, when it came on like a drunk looking for a fight, but since then it's more or less gone down for a nap. No massive snow banks, no face-freezing, no storms of wind. So now it's just the everyday sort of drudgery, with slippery sidewalks and weak sun and darkness wanting to rush in.
C is friends with the fashion stylist Rebekah Roy (left in both pics above) ... one of those people who personify calm and smiling success. On her blog she presents glamour in this very sincere, straightforward way ... whether she's taking pictures of people on the street , talking about stain removers , her favourite videos , or attending some glittering party . One minute she's ruminating on hair extensions, and in the next she reveals how she's been featured on the Vogue UK site. A real disarmer and charmer (and this without meeting her yet, although I feel like I know her because we both did our time in Winnipeg). * * * * * Coming home from Russia, we did many bad things. ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. In my own life, the glamour is wholly imagined. * * * * * witches, smoke ; mixed media on canvas, 10 x 10 inches. My second go at this one, and for some reason I'm painting a lot of smoke lately (note to self: tell C that I want to be cremated). *
nice work, red.
