Colori
Worked from 9:30 to 6
Gallery | Portrait of an alphabet in blue
I
had decided on the sweep of the "A" Friday night; I had
settled on beginning the work with white and blue and adding color
from there, as necessary.
Struggled
with the "R" (I don't like the letter), not thrilled with
the "K," but I liked the "I." The grey on black
worked better than I hoped, and leaving the orangeand yellow backgrounds
unsmoothed preserved the texture of the road and and gave an added
depth to the work.
All
squares were sponsored by an organization or company. Some of the
sponsors applied with artists (I applied with Business First as my
sponsor), some were assigned artists. Kevlin asked what would happen
if a right-wing organization were assigned a very left-wing artist?
The
Fourth Avenue Church sponsored a square -- the artwork advocated same-sex
marriage. By Sunday, Fourth Avenue Church had been reassigned a new
(larger) square, and different artists. The artwork they ended the
festival sponsoring was quite uncontroversial.
Amy
was concerned by a "Victorian Village Residence for Kerry"
sign. She hadn't thought the buildings would have such strong opinions.

Amy's
early day home from school

Amy got most of it done; I finished up a little bit while she read
papers.

20th
Anniversary supplement to press
Much work, much bother
But
it should be good.
That
was virtually the only thing on the agenda for the day -- I left early
for the office, dashed home for a lunch break to let Charlie out (didn't
get anything to eat), hurried back and stayed late.
Amy
was preparing homemade pizza when I got home; we ate, I played the
piano a little, and we went to bed.

Night
work
At the paper on the 20th Anniversary supplement. I
came home too early to really have a good handle on it, but I was
ready to come home and go to bed.
Charlie
gets a t-shirt
So that he might perhaps itch less. A good shirt except
for the unfortunately spelled "it's" where it ought to be
"its".
Dinner
at Mike & Jen's
Allison & Anneliese decide that every single hair
barrett they can find would look good on me, all together at the same
time.
A
Communion Invitation
Sang the choir
George
Schuliger talked about the needs of the food pantry -- a good place
to take the World Harvest bread.
