Happy Thursday to my favoritest small humans!
How’s things? I hear that the Labor Day feast prepared by Shannon was an amazing success – especially the 4 desserts! Much jealous! I wish your uncle Patrick and I could have been there to share the day with you all.
Things here are just fine – September is one of my favorite months; the air is getting cooler, but isn’t yet cold. I do dislike that it’s so dark in the mornings now, though. When we get up to take our morning walk, it’s pretty black outside. Boo!
We’re starting to get ready for Halloween this year, which is also our 10th wedding anniversary – your uncle has been kind enough to agree to let me have a photographer over to take funny pictures. I’m having a fabulous time planning that – will send pics once I have them!
This weeks artist is Susan Rothenberg. She’s a modern artist, born in 1945, so she’s just a handful of years older than Gram-E and Gramp-E. Her work gets compared to Georgia O’Keeffe a lot… I see some similarities, I think Susan’s work stands on it’s own – and Susan paints living animals where Georgia tended to focus on flowers and skulls (that’s not totally true, but her more famous work certainly focused on them, anyway).
I particularly like Susans’ horses – some of which were absolutely gigantic paintings - and the raven painting below, which is just barely a bird at all, but so clearly one at the same time – I love how the edges are kind of soft and blurry, and the paintings are very simple (the artsy folk would say “minimalist”), but because they’re simple they really draw your eye into them.
Hope you like them, too! In any case, have a wonderful week and know that I love you and think that you’re awesome.
Hugs and kisses,
Auntie Paula
