I love living in a place where once a year, all of nature turns my favorite colors.

In his 45 B.C. book “Tusculan Disputations”, Cicero rewrites and therefore popularizes an ancient moral parable. In the roman philosopher’s version, the tyrannical king Dionysius II showed his subjects the looming danger of ruling over a city, by hanging a razor-sharp sword over Damocles’ head. Suspended only by a single strand of horsehair, it represented how death is always breathing down the neck of the ones in a position of power. 

Today, to have The Damocles Sword over one's head is an idiom used to describe any situation threatening imminent harm or disaster.

Detail from Richard Westall, The Sword of Damocles, 1812, oil on canvas, 130 × 103 × 8.3 cm, Ackland Art Museum, own photograph of painting, Ackland Museum, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States of America

some practice painting!

Today marks 3 years of my daily painting practice*. It's no longer just landscapes, usually takes place in a sketchbook and is pretty loose and messy, but it still feels good to play with paint everyday, whether it's for 10 minutes or an hour. This year I'm focusing on getting looser, weirder, and back to my shape-based style I worked with intuitively when I first started painting.

*I missed two days while traveling last summer
