new book + miro + yosemite

got rained out at yos/glen aulin on the backpack trip. rain hit while swimming below the cascades while young trout darted curious around our legs. it was a bit surreal being out in a pool with the sound of rain hitting the water intermittent with lightening and thunder. fear of strikes on the water caused us to move under a cluster of trees to dry off enough to put on shoes/socks while waiting for the storm to lighten.

watched a joan miro dvd & did learn new stuff about him. saw work of his i had not found in books. love his studio set up (is still intact/a museum). see his influence in my work (more so in years past).

book arrived:

the spiritual in art abstract painting: 1890-1985 < loved it!!! it was the first book that arrived that i felt an affinity toward. i rarely ooooh & ahhhh page after page when there are numerous artists. think this will help me to define what i have been doing & actively choose where i will go...
