October 14, 2007 Day 178
Today it was rainy and cold, keeping down the numbers of Art Trail visitors, but I enjoyed talking to the ones who showed up. In between, I read or worked on my drawings. First, I did a geometric design using a ruler for the lines and a template for the circles. Then I worked on an abstract landscape with brush pens, and began a third drawing that I will finish tomorrow.

One of the perks of this Art Trail weekend has been the opportunity to read Byron Katie's book, A Thousand Names for Joy. I don't usually allow myself time to read during the work-day, and the message in this book is one that I sorely need: love what is.
Recently I heard about an exhibit taking place in my old hometown, Newark, New Jersey. The Red Bad of Courage will take place at The National Newark Building from October 28 to December 9. Artists from New Jersey, New York and abroad will show work based on the writings of Stephen Crane, author of the book titled The Red Bad of Courage. For more information, check out Open Doors 2007.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead in case we travel and I'm not able to post.)
