SOCIAL CIRCLES, REDEFINED 🙂
I couldn't resist this title. And I have tried to make my little art piece reflect a sense of humor about the state of affairs here on this beleaguered planet, mid-2020. Not an easy task, eh? However, when in doubt, I always say, just do it, just social distance, then...

TO PLAY OR NOT TO PLAY
To me, the secret juice of life is PLAY!
How to be Happy – Beatrice Romand, aged 15
I clipped this video as I watched Eric Rohmer’s movie Claire’s Knee. These are actually the very words Beatrice Romand spoke at her audition. Rohmer incorporated them into the script. The adorable Beatrice is so young and yet so wise. I will use this technique every...
OH SO PUKKA
I'm beginning to realize that many of my epiphanies about Play correlate with my love of words. I am lexivorous and playful in equal measure. In this instance, I have to credit Apple's screen saver function, particularly that one devoted to dictionary entries. Just...
