Vandalism

It seems as though the grocery near our house, Eddie's, is deciding what to do about the spray paint on their loading area. Yes, it's cute. But...

Wet Arches 300lb

The smell of this paper's sizing, damp, is like dirty socks. That and the hot, humid air bring to mind summer watercolor class in Main 110 with the windows open.

I have plans for my summer of sandwiches.

Come on down!

Today Yahoo reports that Kiplinger's has named Baltimore the best American city for recent college grads. The article states that violent crime has dropped and that we have an extensive bus and subway system. Today's Baltimore Sun site carries this headline:

Boy, 12, among 6 victims in overnight Baltimore violence

Youth not expected to survive, police say; man fatally shot in separate incident

And I seriously doubt that whoever wrote that article has ever tried to take a bus in this town.

Clock

I have made a clock from a kit, in a cigar box. It seems to be pretty accurate.

Mystery

Somebody must know something about this stone house in the middle of the industrial activity located at 1300 North Monroe Street. I can't find any information except the tax record which says it was built in 1915. Help!

 

Portrait

I went to an installation today at the nature center in Leakin Park. There was a trail of art. This is a detail of a portrait of Henry David Thoreau by Janet Pilhblad, in twigs.

If this is Heaven

It's looking suspiciously like Baltimore.

Humidity

It's been raining almost forever. A collage I had been piecing together for a year bubbled up and peeled off the surface in one matte gel skin today. I have to figure out how to better prepare my surfaces.
