i've been walking around outside sniffing the air, wondering where the beautiful aroma was coming from. it finally dawned on me that the linden trees are in bloom.
everywhere in the village, it smells sweet and summery.
morgana began the limon dance intensive this morning, and korrina ran off to her restaurant job at wallsé (she's doing pastry prep work in the kitchen). the days are getting quite hot now, and since we don't have an air conditioner (yet?), chanda and i have been taking it easy.
chanda did a still-life sketch today. i picked up the book drawing with children, by mona brookes, hoping it would help us become "better artists." however, i think to become better we just need to keep sketching. maybe some of the life drawing exercises will feel helpful . . so far the ideas just haven't captivated me.
chanda went shopping at the gap store on fifth avenue with her friend deychen (with her own money). she called me to say that if i brought my gap card over, she could get 40% off. well, after walking all the way over there, we found out that 40% off was only for "select" styles. of course she had not selected any of those particular styles (there's so much to learn about the insidiousness of advertising). she did get these pants, however, as they were half price just on their own without a gap card.
in the evening we walked by the latest ralph lee puppet exhibit at westbeth. the figures looked very rich and heavy and tropical to me.
