Election Day. 

Finally. It’s certainly the day I’ve been waiting for since November 2016. It will be a very long day...but I’m ready!

The past few days, since the Blue Moon, I have been mourning the passing of my wonderful friend in Paris. Not from COVID...but the other scourge...cancer. She fought valiantly for several years, even visiting me here in Santa Fe back in 2018...two years almost to the day. Her creativity was legend, as was her beauty. Her expanse of friends filled her life with joy and constant visitations. Did I mention her generosity? Also legend. Paris will forever be a memorial to Dora.

Meanwhile my papier-mache landscapes continue. One is now finished, another one in process. This latest  one will entail found objects along with the papier-mâché, and a dusting of pigments I bought 6 years ago or so in Roussillon, the Santa Fe of France, while leading an artist workshop in the Luberon Valley. I never knew what to do with them until now, but the fit is perfect. Natural pigments rubbed on to the objects after they’ve been painted and carved, to create a bit of ethereal color tinting the designs.

If anyone is out there reading my blog today, please vote. This is the election of our lifetime.
