memories lane

Digging today I was reminded of this project that I did as part of a "BLINK" grant. BLINK is one of Madisons arts programs. A grant was given to paint the bus stop terminals around the capital.

If I find more pictures I will add them. I painted the whole stop inside and out in 1 day with very few, but amazing helpers to look like a grotto or sorts. Totally love this project. I'm fairly sure I gave Karin Wolf (city arts administrator) a heart attack but I have a feeling she is over it since we are now friends.

kowloon markets

Traveling in China I was able to spend a couple of hours wandering the markets, which was quite the treat. Among the markets wandered were the bird market, flower market, fish market and the ladies market. Here are some photos from this time.

Someone has a really amazing balcony garden. The colors and distress of the buildings made this street with elaborate balcony gardens quite inspiring.
