| Knows One Thing Well, 2001. Oil on paper, 16x20". |
I like to think of myself as a porcupine, but I'm not so sure that is true.
At the beginning of Summer, this swiftly passing season of flowering and fruiting, I embarked on an extensive process to renovate my home and studio. During this labor-intensive period I have used virtually every tool in my tool box. I am glad to have them. As I celebrate the changes I have made (not entirely alone), I also feel gratitude for the ability to perform these varied tasks. I've sawn and sanded, primed and puttied, sewn and varnished.... I have been acting like the fox.
I long now, at Summer's, to get back into the studio. I yearn to be once again, the porcupine, knowing one thing well.
