A BREAK TO CREATE (first of 3 posts)

It was our turn this summer. We seem to take turns creating art in my studio and their glorious city! Paris!  It can't get much more glorious than that! Our friends were back in US to see family and many friendsI Their visit at our home was unique. It was the only creating art stop! YAY!!!! I emailed Martha - we did the Paris trip together.

"Martha!  Our friends from Paris are coming! 

Can you come?!"    "YES!! "

PUSHING AROUND RED

Yet another series of red circles inspired by the ancient dye vats in Fez? 

Could be.  

Titles are fun. 
I'm already thinking:
Sunset Over Fez 
or Reflecting Reds 
or Moroccan Sunset 
or Pools of Sunset? 

For now I'm simply pushing red squares and circles around on Rives bfk.
