Hello, I'm Rachael.

I am primarily a painter and friendly multi-tasker/ troublemaker in Upstate New York. I try to blog often but mostly I try to paint.
Leave me a comment (I'm more likely to communicate directly than in the comments), ask me a question, do your best to share what you have to say, OK? Thanks

I'll be at Second Storie again this year, Thanksgiving Weekend, Rochester NY!

    moth or butterfly...

    Alright then, while I have been mad busy and tired when I come home. I can tell you that this past weekend treated me well. I magically had lots of time to spend with my fine husband and some good friends, with our new washer (which was a trade for this logo I made for Jeff's fabulous appliance repair business), and with my garden and art.



    There were two twin boys (maybe 6 years old) on the bus this evening. They were fascinated by a moth that had landed and was still hanging on to one of their tennis shoes. The little guys kept calling it a butterfly and talking about it and you know, there was all sorts of magic about the boys, the moth/butterfly, and the moment before it flew away.
    that's all. take care
    Rachael

    i love this transformation of moth to butterfly to moth. moths are so gorgeous, but butterflies are supposed to be more the beautiful ones. assumptions of the name, and the magic of taking on the other.

    i am gaaga over Joseph Scheer's lovelies.

    much love, my dear luna moth,
