Today on this extremely gray day — one devoid of energy. A strange change that the end of summer brings and we settle into the coming of winter. What to do? Embrace the season! But don’t be afraid of color.

Here are a few chairs that we picked up for free when a business was closing down. We gave them a light sanding and spray painted them with a combination of colors that add energy, but not too much. The brighten the darkest of winter days or nights.

This is how I’ve always thought of Twombly. In motion —himself a scribble and a scratch.

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school
It’s a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of edu—cation
Hasn’t hurt me none
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world’s a sunny day, Oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don’t take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they’d never match
my sweet imagination
everything looks WORSE in black and white

Lo and behold my twitter feed stopped days ago.

Tried to get everything up and running again.

Seems I’m missing some simple little detail. I’ll fix it later. Got places I have to be.
