The Secret Life Of Tools
ORDINARY HELL
Doing something and a certain tool is required.
Own it but can't find it
Know from experience I’ll find it when I don’t need it anymore.
Can't stop looking until I don't need it.
Think I may own three, (3), tres, of that same #?*!%!!! tool.
Can’t stop looking until the job is done.
Can’t move on until this job is done
Hate it. I’m stuck. I hate that tool.
Those who remodel old houses - a job where a plethora of specialized and unique tools are required - know about this.
Some tools just seem prone to go missing when they would be of greatest use.
We have an expression,
“It‘s a good tool but doesn’t like to work.”

The Steins Collect
1. I had every intention of taking lots of pictures of famous and obscure Picassos and Matisses and posting them to my blog, but photos were not permitted.
While waiting the 2 hours to get into show I found a Jasper Johns (gray) and a Clifford Still (black). To look at these two paintings and know nothing of the intentions of the artists', one could assume ( rightly or wrongly) they were the same. The only difference is that one is gray and the other black. The are both encaustic paintings on canvas. Except for one difference - Johns painted on the "back" of his canvas.
2. There I said it : Rauschenberg. On a separate topic - What is it with the Germans and consonants?
3. Lastly, the the best piece I saw all day. My Blog, My opinion. It's a gazillion staples on a phone pole in Haight Asbury. Man! that thing was/is rich. A phone pole - yes!

Last Class at the J.C.
Here are some examples of our latest efforts at the J.C.. Laurie and I finished the class this week. Many thanks to Claire Cotts. She shared her love of art and created a space where effort and talent was valued and encouraged. Thanks, also, to all that left feedback. We might have a show in the front room - free snacks. I think would like to continue working on portraits so if anyone is interested in sitting for me let me know.
