Jennifer, if you aren't in the UK you can't watch the TV show. But,
the site with the definition was nice. I have never really known much
about Wabi Sabi. But, it sure fits my life. The best thing we ever
did was take that early retirement, sell the big house and live more
simply. When all the "stuff" is in boxes because you are remodeling
you realize that it is not really important. I do think part of living
a simple creative lifestyle that appreciates all the wonders of nature
is aging. As we age we realize more and more how important each
sunrise and each bird chirp really is. And, as artists we see more and
appreciate more of the beauty of nature. My greatest pleasure,
besides creating art, is my daily beach walk, now enhanced by my new
little companion, Ali, with her imperfect and adorable over bite.

How does imperfection affect printmakers doing a series that is
supposed to be consistent?

for Bea Gold -you are very welcome!
and i look forward to getting your ox- as i always enjoy your work.

Terry -yes! castrated bulls are alot less "testy"
and thus easier to work and get along with with

i find it interesting that the Chinese New Year specifically calls for an OX and not a Bull
perhaps because they have been the helpmates of humans for so long ?

Hi Everyone!

I have been off the list for some months, but had to get back on as the excitement of going to Chicago for Southern Graphics nears. I will chair a performance print panel; on Thursday, March 26 from 1:30 to 3. the panel will include:

Kathleen
Baker Pittman of StoneMetal Press talks about giant woodcut printing events:
Printdance and Steamroller Prints, Jenny Leblanc of Hot Iron Press, Greg
Nanney of Drive By Press and Barbara Koenen about War Rug Installations.


More news, I am inviting everyone to the 2010 Baren Summit in San Antonio for the week of June 14 through 18th. We will use the StoneMetal Press Printmaking Center, in the heart of the San Antonio arts district.

Registration information will be available April 20th.




Hope to see some of you there.

Yours ,

Le Green-Schubert
