		<title>She Disappeared. And Left a Trail of Books&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Summertime is when most of us take vacations, go away, go on a diet, visit friends and family, sweat a lot, wear funny hats and slack off. And that includes me. Though, I really never slack off exactly. Anyway, for a variety of reasons, I need to cut back on computer time… embracing what I [...]]]></description>

WWPD? (What Would Pablo Do?)
When I first heard about the idea for a televised art competition, I thought, you’ve got to be kidding me. Seriously??  I was incredulous, insulted, repulsed, disgusted. The art world would never condone this. No artist in their right mind would saddle up for such a ride, put their reputation [...]]]></description>

Almost Independence Day, that US holiday that heralds summer vacations, parades, hot dogs, illegal fireworks and the vigorous display of Old Glory, ie the American Flag.

		<title>Working Under the Influence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m not lucky to have been born a substance abuser. Had I been, perhaps the art world would know me better. Perhaps I’d be famous. My artist biography would be a great colorful read, full of drunken brawls, ruined yet famous exhibit openings, sloppy downtown dinners, car wrecks….I’d be a paparazzi darling, my inebriation selling [...]]]></description>

		<title>7 Habits For Highly Effective Studio Practice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1.Establish Goals. Make a plan. Have at least ONE creative task set for yourself.  I make this separate from housekeeping. It can be sketching, writing in the log, painting in the next layer of acrylic glaze.

		<title>Ten Things I Like About June</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Winter is Done. You can safely put away the snow blower.  At this point in the year, at least in the north east, though I’m not 100% sure about Maine or Vermont, but I’m pretty sure about New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New Jersey, and probably Rhode Island: Winter has passed.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Orbs&#8221; at the Whitney Museum by Riva Weinstein
This past Wednesday I took the train into Manhattan and joined my friend Riva for our first Whitney Biennial. Neither of us had ever seen this important and highly touted show which is held every two years in New York City. And as artists, we sort of felt, [...]]]></description>

		<title>So, You Wanna Know What Happened?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I could tell you I won the lottery and I got so insane, so busy, trying to decide who to share the winnings with, getting myself all frustrated with family and friends, in that I have no idea who would use a gift of millions wisely, finding it impossible to track down my lawyer and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unlike: Insects</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don’t like bugs. Seriously, none of them. Even the ones that are “good” and contribute to keeping our ecosystem balanced. Now,I don’t go out of my way to kill outside dwellers. (That’s my husband’s job. Just ask him about the black beetles in the pool.)
