I can't believe the summer is almost over.  My home has been on the market for a month now and I can't wait to get home (Cali).  I miss my family and friends soooo much.  I'm all packed and ready to go...  Just waiting for the house to sell. I'll probably try to settle in Ojai. It has always been one of my "good medicine" places...my mom often took my sister Mikkol and I there for picnics by the creek.  That is one of my favorite memories of my childhood.
I've been working on a portrait of a good friend- now that I have finished restoring the house, I can focus on my work and hopefully finish her soon. 
The past year has been a rough one for me.  Hard luck and troubles, and many things hurt my heart.  I really miss my Mamo. 
I know I need to paint it, let my paintbrush do the crying for me if you know what I mean...should be interesting.

Please say a prayer for my Dad.  He has been very sick.

OK...just trying to get this site up and running.  I have a new found respect for web disigners.
