When we could knock on each other’s doors unannounced
May 5th, 2009
Since I’ve left college, I’ve been thinking about the proposition of when it’s appropriate to stop by unannounced to people you know and people you do not know that well. The epiphany came recently–now that I own a house. There has been a hole in my life since leaving college. I’m happily married, but I miss having 20+ guys on a hall that I could talk to at any time.
It’s been a while since I have posted here on Llama and Lamb. One of the reason is because I have become active on Twitter (@smjdesign). Yes, that thing everybody is talking about. Speaking of Twitter, earlier this week I tweeted:
Can’t we go back to when we could knock on each others’ doors at any time, ask if they can come out and play. Are people really that busy?!

Breaking out of the Shell
March 3rd, 2009I am posting three new eggshell paintings in series, Morning Promise. Although the majority of the painting was done last fall I have recently added the final layers to three new eggshell paintings. These paintings are similar to the eggshell painting that was posted in November. They create a mini series where I investigated the beauty of contrived patterns of broken shells.

Eeckhout and Rembrandt: An Intimate Gathering
February 10th, 2009While wondering through Het Rembrandthuis Museum, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands last autumn, a painting caught my eye. The walls of the Rembrandt House were covered with paintings salon style, and although it was hard for the eye to isolate any image, this particular painting caught my attention and held it. The painting, The Last Supper, by Gerbrand van den Eeckhout (1664) , was on loan to The Rembrandt House Museum from the Rijksmuseum. The painting resembles Rembrandt’s style because the artist was not only a pupil but also a friend of Rembrandt. Another interesting thing about the painting was the way that the artist reinterpreted the subject matter.
