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!

    low ambitions in high temperatures

    We used to live in Atlanta and now we don't. I think of that on days when it gets over 80 degrees and I feel unable to do anything outdoors or in. Tonight it isn't even that hot, just, slow and summer stalled.

    I was eating strawberries when I realised they would make prints. I ate more strawberries.

    There are other things I oughtta be doing, I suppose. Writing the stories in my head. Reading works of major or minor literary import. Mourning pop stars. Making pop corn. I don't know.
    I'll just make another strawberry print.


    If I had greater ambitions I would make a dress form using the paper tape I have up in my studio but have never used. I would apply to the Artists Market at the public market.

    I really should say more about the public art project planning meeting I went to the other day. Ok I will, but not tonight.

    i personally think a slow evening eating and making strawberry prints has at least as much if not more value than engaging in what most of polite society would characterize as "productive". never-ending speed and busy-ness is a sickness of sorts; i congratulate you on choosing to be healthy! now, i'm off to the produce stand so the cantaloupe and peaches will be properly chilled as i eat them swinging in my hammock this late afternoon, instead of working and doing the endless chores that pile up...
