black and white dogs


We went to a Boston terrier meet up this morning. What a strange experience being in a room surrounded by a swirling mass of black and white, barking and snarling like komodo dragons. One even jumped from the floor to my lips for a kiss. They are aggressively affectionate little creatures. There wasn't much opportunity to relax and talk with the other humans there. Everyone was too busy watching their own whirling dervish - watching to make sure they didn't start a scrap.

I have not been painting or creating art in many months. Sometimes I feel like there is something missing. I am so inspired and exhilarated to even talk with someone who wants to, or who is creating something right now - words, drawings, paintings, dance - you name it. It is exciting! A friend and I went to the Revwear show last weekend. A fashion show of recycled clothing, interspersed with performance art and music. It was inspiring and motivating to see what people had created out of old clothing and to hear original music and poetry. Collaboration is key for me right now.
