Bipolar Dementia Art Chronicles

  • "I just finished your book; it was compelling and so emotional and candid. I resonated with so many things, from large to small, and thank you for being so honest." --Nancy M. If you are interested in the life of an artist, issues of depression and bipolar disorder, or the challenges of caregiving for elderly parents, I think you will find this book a moving account of one woman's experience with all three.

A Year of Making Art, Day 317: Windy, Cold and Beaten

March 1, 2008  Day 317

Today's drawing is a light and whimsical piece made with calligraphy pens:

Drawing323500  Drawing #323  11" x 14"

After making my drawing, I continued sorting through all the stuff in my studio in order to get rid of as much as possible.  In a day or two we will move the furniture around so that the carpenter can start work on the new wall (see previous post).

At three o'clock Blixy and the kids came over.  We went for a short walk around BeeBee Lake on Cornell Campus, but it was windy and cold, so we came back right after that.  Later Mike beat me at ping-pong and Dance Dance Revolution battle mode.  I remember that a year or two past, he could barely play ping-pong.  It's neat to see your grandchildren gaining new skills, but when they begin to surpass you, you are reminded of your mortality. 

Earlier today, a collector in New Zealand called to purchase another painting:
