art vitamins

There's something to be said for spontaneity. I've certainly been succumbing to its charms for many days now. Last night for example. I went to an open studio in Easthampton, MA called Eastworks. I went to The Invisible Fountain. Check out Luke's work! and I bought a bunch. It was joyously healthy. I said to Maya and Reesa as we headed out with our purchase, "I feel like I've taken some art vitamins and I really needed them."

You could also call spontaneity robust immaturity or an act of rebellion---depending on who feels the sting of your (perhaps) misbegotten ways. For me, this was last night, David. He didn't feel like joining me on me cultural journey. (The Patriots were playing, forgive me). I then met a woman and her new husband for drinks (turned into a bottle of wine and then some) and their friend, a newly widowed 65 year old woman with a delightful British accent. And then, a text message from a colleague. "Why don't you join in the fun too?" A cast of characters and all of whom I only recently met. (The colleague used to have my job so he's a new friend also). Anyway, the conversation flowed as easily as the shiraz. And I was joyously healthy again.

Social vitamins to wash down my art vitamins.

So, in keeping with my robustly immature, rebellious and joyously healthy (spontanenous) frame of mind, I have been looking up old friends, and some old acquaintances as well. It has been another journey. Stay tuned. I have interesting things to report.
