Just an ordinary day. “And then gone.   Joan Didion

What a crass, loud, and inhumane world we are living in. It’s so easy these days to get distracted and to wander from one’s core. It’s so very easy to get lost.

To avoid feeling displaced, I’m focusing on the beauty found in ordinary days. It helps to keep me anchored. It also helps to keep me in charge of evaluating my own reality. To make this focusing a visual documentation, too, I’m making simple and unpretentious little “pro-memoria” paintings. They’re on cardboard and have plastic crocheted frames.

One day I will look at these colored vignettes and think how beautiful the ordinary has been to me.
