Took a short road trip up the Hudson valley with m Took a short road trip up the Hudson valley with my mom last fall. She drove us up 87 to her alma mater, New Paltz, and as we passed exit 16 she mentioned how she always loved that view from that part of the drive up to college. Funny— I had that very exit written in my notepad to paint from the last time I made that drive. Finally went back there today, my first time painting since she passed, and lo and behold, it’s Harriman state park. No wonder we liked the view so much. I wish I could tell her that, and I wish I could tell her that I hiked much further than I planned. Wish I could tell her literally anything or just drive upstate with her one more time, staring out the window. 2nd and 3rd slides are a pair of devastating poems by Gabrielle calvocoressi. They’ve always been devastating in how much they made me think of my relationship with my mom, but of course a million times more now. Last slide is my mom during that trip, getting lunch in New Paltz before making our way up to Hudson. Love you mom, miss you mom, happy Mother’s Day 💓

This is where I go to paint when I’m feeling fra This is where I go to paint when I’m feeling fragile. It’s both easy and challenging I guess, an easy win that I can’t just phone in— i have to focus a little. Actually, there’s really nothing I can just phone in. Im reminded of this every time I’m feeling a little too confident in art and in life. Spring is just really taking its time here and I’m trying to be okay with it. I’m 90% sure that no amount of April cold snaps will prevent summer from coming, even if they ruin the cherry blossom blooms & make me feel kind of insane. No winter last forever no spring skips its turn or something.
