My reading and thinking about art have reached a fever pitch again even if my blogging has slowed down. I signed up to teach a class in the fall to non-art majors and am now spending my non work hours working on compiling loads of resources, ideas and most importantly, images for their (and my) benefit. I'm looking at how we look and thinking about how best to introduce the practice of looking slowly, looking with passion, and looking with relevance to one's own life. It's actually a lot of fun and a great balance to my mostly manage-y summer and my art making.

In my visual travels around the web, I keep finding great stuff to look at. Here are a couple of today's favorites...

The flip flop car

A gorgeous frenetic yellowy orange sideboard by Cezanne (and more from that show last year)

A yummy Richter painting of branches but mostly of color

A Thomas Struth photo of Bellini's glory in context, not faith as much as tourism but it is truly magic

In other news: the paper dolls are still taking form, I'm drawing strangers, and the garden is producing (cucumbers and still green tomatoes).

take care,
Rachael
