Empathy or Sympathy?
This dog looks sympathetic, but actually he just wants my teriyaki hotdog at the neighborhood picnic on Sunday.

Again, I want to thank everyone who has posted or emailed comforting messages. Even the simplest of comments mean a lot, and I appreciate you taking time out of your own busy lives to read my blog and write. I’ve been falling behind on my email and keeping up with everyone else’s blogs. I hope you’ve all been busy, creative, and happy! I was hoping my creative energy...
Read MoreIllustration Friday: Daring, or Hotter Than H
When I first saw the new topic for Illustration Friday, I thought for sure I’d have to recycle the rock-climbing drawing I did back in the February blog archives, but then suddenly *BING* I had a new idea as I lay on the sofa and thought about Russ judging barbeque at the Rock-N-Ribs festival this weekend. He’s a certified barbeque judge, something that lots of people seem interested...

Thanks so much to everyone who posted comments about my last drawing “Reinvent” and also my poem “Dear Sophia.” I really appreciate all the encouragement, and your comments have been comforting to me this week.

This week’s topic is “reinvent.” Even if you don’t join, it’s fun to go to the web site and see the many different ways people interpret the...

But tonight I decided to post a poem I wrote called Dear Sophia for a class called “Image and Text.” I loved the class, it really pushed me to develop conceptual pieces combining images, both...
Read MoreHairy Relationships
When we were first married, my husband would occasionally get his hair cut at the same place I did, but he soon stopped because he found that I leave behind me a sordid trail of broken hair relationships. He complained that it was uncomfortable when hair stylists would ask, “whatever happened to your wife?†I think my history started early, when in high school an Iranian man cut my...

Sunday I wrote about Guilty Pleasures and then read the rest of the responses to the term Guilty Pleasures on the AQRing. It was fun to read about others’ secret weaknesses and fantasies, but one thing I hadn’t considered was that many people would think it was wrong to feel guilty. Well, I’m not promoting rack-your-soul type of guilt, but I did take the term Guilt, to be an...
