The Study
Today the room is empty – but I can easily imagine a desk, some chairs and a lot of books in this room…
Photographed at the Reader Rock Garden on 22 September 2010.
Today, I set my alarm for 5:10 a.m., as I was going on a day of botanizing at a new location, but heavy, non-stop rain made us actually change our minds. Useless for taking photos, and not exactly good for ones camera. Also, it was only 4C (!!!) when I got up this morning - soaring to a balmy 7C when we were in the car, driving to the meeting place to check if we were going or not. A coffee stop was a great idea, while the five of us waited to see if the rain might clear - which it didn't. It's always disappointing when a trip is cancelled, but this is almost unheard of. On the way home, three of us called in at Tim Hortons and had a delicious combo of coffee and a breakfast, which made a very tasty and enjoyable stop. Thanks so much for the treat, Stephen, and for doing the driving! Oh, while we were at the first coffee place, a lady stopped to chat with us (she works at the place). She was so funny, telling us one joke after another, all of them simple and very cute. One that I can remember is:
"What did the 0 (zero) say to the 8?"
Answer: Nice belt!
I have two full days of botanizing tomorrow and the following day, so will be tied up and totally exhausted, ha! I find that back to back days are just too much for me now, but, all being well, I'll survive these two days of forest walking and getting down to the ground and back up again to photograph mushrooms and other things. Hopefully, the sun will shine and we will find some new things to add to our existing lists of flora and fauna for these two locations.
This would be a picture of eternity if it wasn't for the nasty leaves in the bottom left corner and some cloudy haze in the sky.
So it only qualifies as a study.

Just a few minutes cutting some edges of a page to my Filofax with my February Final Exams Dates... and the study table at my friends apartment
Good Evening,
I have included 6 photos of my time at the University of Exeter, as well as
my travels throughout Europe during my semester abroad.
Thanks,

I'm back home from my trip to Boston, and now I am diving into studying for my upcoming Master's Comprehensive Exam. It's in two weeks, and sums up all that I've been working on for the past three years. If I pass, then I'll graduate in May!
On a rainy chilly (read: beautiful!) day like this, what can make studying better more than freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and a tall glass of cold milk? :)

iPhone Photo: At Falkland Palace, home of James V and his daughter, Mary I, Queen of Scots. Not great quality because of the angle towards the light, but you weren't allowed any further into the room - it was roped off at the door - and this is the longest my arm could reach and still take a straight-ish photo with ye olde iphone 3g :)
I love old-style study/libraries. The word "study" these days tends to just mean a desk and a computer, with maybe a few files/books/texts around. But here there are ceiling-high shelves of leatherbound books in a wonderful array of colours, and the room has a desk, chair and a comfy sofa covered in cushions and a fireplace that I imagine on a cold, windy Scottish winter evening would be the best thing about this cosy room. Lovely flickering golden light to read by as well.
And then of course, there's the secret door in the bookshelf - what decent castle is without one?? Unfortunately, as I said, visitors weren't allowed into the room itself, so the room on the other side remains undiscovered to all but the imagination.
this type of sketch page helps me see better....I figure out what I
want to say and go from there...
I may not go further with this but will use what I learned somewhere sometime...
Sculpture by Tucson Artist ex·tra·or·di·naire - David Adix!
I've (as well as my entire family) watched David Adix's work evolve over the past 5 years, and can
truly say that he's hittin' his "sweet spot" right now!
These totemic figures have evolved over time and are now much more "human like"
in their poses and posturing- making for a VERY expressive study of not only the human form and how we interact with out environment- but also an very clear vision of using cast-off
materials and finding new and unique ways of making ART with those discarded materials!
A study for the "metaphysical milano" project that started with "moodisometric".
I like the tones here, but the positions of windows don't have a suitable rhythm.
Oh, and I also like the small curly things that hold the gutter-pipe.
So as some of you know I am working on the next series The Book of Judges
It will be an epic sized 40-60 panel series encompassing all of the most overlooked book in the Bible. It's violent, heart-breaking and utterly compelling and I'm going to throw the next year at it. It'll push me past anything I've done in the past in terms of scale, complexity, technique and the shear number of people that need to be involved.
A few months ago I received a grant to do it. They said it was their favorite in 3000 to come in that year. It was a huge honor. It was the first I ever wrote, but unfortunately it was a matching grant...and there was no money to match it with. I couldn't accept it.
The director came out to see me personally in October suggesting ways to raise the money so that they could give us the grant. He said that if they could not fund the project, they would consider their year a failure...
We were thinking of every avenue possible, but just days before Christmas he called a special meeting of their board of directors just for this project. They voted for the first time in their history, and against their bylaws, to waive the matching status and to just give us the funds to do the project.
it's a humbling honor and now it's time to deliver.
This is Ehud, the second Judge (deliverer) of his people in a time where there was no king and everyone did what was right in their own eyes.

This would be the reason for my recent lack of photos and attention to flickr.
Each stack is for one of the modules I am studying and the stacks actually go higher than is visible in this photo. Is it any wonder my head often feels ready to explode!!

'Maudie', the 2016 film starring Sally Hawkins and Ethan Hawke, helped reignite interest in Maud's work. I used to watch and enjoy this movie, but Shaw Cable has changed the channel that it used to play on, and I need to get round to subscribing to the new channel which you now have to pay for. Maud had a real personality, with great determination and survival skills, living, in Nova Scotia, with a husband who was definitely not easy to live with, in poverty and with severe arthritis. No running water and no heat, for one thing.
To see the trailer (great acting in this film):

No edited 'real' photos ready to upload today, so I'm posting a few bright and cheery online jigsaw puzzles, so that I can add them to my album. I know I should be going through my old archive photos and choosing a few before deleting them from my computer as I am just about out of space, but these puzzles are so addictive. Help, lol!
"Whether it's a crossword, jigsaw, trivia, word searches, brain teasers or Sudoku, puzzles put our minds to work. Studies have found that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we use both sides of the brain. And spending time daily working on puzzles improves memory, cognitive function, and problem-solving skills."
