On Wednesday, Tom, Jim, and I had a wonderful lunch at Té House of Tea. Then they helped me take down my paintings so another artist could hang work there.
I once again thank Té for providing the space and the opportunity to show my paintings. I appreciate it so much.
While we were finishing the de-installation, we were joined by Hanley and Tim.
Poser!
Jim had suggested that Tim and I put the “Fluid” app on our iPhones. To the tune of new age music, the app lets you see see water on rocks (or a photo of your choice); you can touch the screen to make the water ripple or flow in different directions. Hanley kept telling Tim she wanted to see the eggs on his phone, and he wasn’t sure what she meant. Then she said the “sparkly egg,” and I was sure she was saying “Sparkly Ed” and professing her allegiance to Team Edward. Tim figured out that the larger pebbles are shaped like eggs, and Hanley finally got to enjoy her serene moments with the phone’s nature scene.
Hanley and her entourage then went to the Menil Collection, where she pointed out paintings by Newman and “Roshko” (Rothko) by name, much to the mirth of the docents. I came home and started spaghetti sauce while whipping together outfits for a few of my models. You might remember the argyle dress I did during 30 Days of Creativity. Now there are four, plus these:
Model muses posing in front of my painting “She Dreams of Tuscany.” By the way, Project Runway returns July 28 on Lifetime.
Last weekend, at a shopping mall nearby, there was a huge line. It was much longer than the iPhone lines I’m used to seeing, but that’s more due to efficiency on their part for the dollar signs. Not this line.
It took me a while, as I walked along side the ropes, to discover nearly all of them were either anorexic women or drag queen wanna-bes. I finally found the head of the line: it was a 15 second fame for modeling interviewees. They must have stood there for hours for this!
I hope some of their dreams come true.
I’ve never heard of the Fluid app. I’ll have to check it out. (When are you getting your own Barbie app??!)
There probably IS a Barbie app. Fluid can be soothing for a brief interval. Unless you choose your own photo to use with it, and it looks like Pixie is playing the part of Ophelia. I’ll bet Marika would hate that.
Lovely photo of Hanley.
She’s in the phase where she likes to have her picture taken and beams when she gets to see it. Isn’t it funny to realize today’s kids will never know a world when they have to wait for the photos to come back after being developed?
Lord, yes! We used to send ours away and received a free film with the prints when they arrived in the post. Film..?
Yes! I remember that, too. And how much fun it was to get that package in the mail–and hope there were at least SOME good photos.
