Going Home

Here is a new diptych I just finished. I like the colored faceted shapes I've been working on, although they are a little derivative. But that's what art is about - taking what's in the zeitgeist and making it your own, right?

I am off to Ireland tomorrow and I can't wait. My mom turns 70 on May 15th, and there is going to be a barbeque at my sister's house, and a wonderful dinner out at one of Wexford's loveliest restaurants. My niece Leigh also turns 20 when I am there, and my nephew Aaron is making his confirmation, so it will be a busy vacation.

Hopefully I will have time to see Barbara, Julie, and a couple of other friends, but often the days slip by when I'm home and suddenly I'm on the plane coming back to SF thinking of all the people I should have seen.

Here is my sister Liz and her family a few years ago. That baby in her arms is now two years old and wreaking havoc.

Back row: Dave, Leigh, Liz, and Nathan. Front row: Lauryn, Jordan, and Aaron.
