It’s a dark and very rainy day here in Asheville. Flash flood warnings have been issued, which always brings up a bit of PTSD after Hurricane Helene two years ago, but hopefully all will be well. I’m just marking out the plan for a still life in oil, including a gorgeous antique Rosewood Ceramics vase I recently acquired. Hope you are having a quiet, peaceful Sunday.

Twomey Show Hanging
I don't quite know if saying "I'm going to hang today" is the best omen, but that's what I'll be doing! The show at Mud Dauber Pottery goes up today for the Opening Reception tomorrow.
So given the busyness of the next two days, here's my last post until I can take a breather. It's a tribute to Suzanne Crane at Mud Dauber, and her willingness to take a chance on me and my work by letting it show along with her extraordinary ceramics.

| Macro Glaze Dauber (oil)
For years I stared at cells through a microscope, and I always loved the abstractions that would appear. Looking very closely at a Crane plate I cherish, it was the beautiful shapes, glaze colors and rhythms that appeared in Sue's work that sucked me in.
Thanks Ms. Crane, more than you know.
