Oil portrait painted from life
Invalid Image LinkSold
Invalid Image Link
“If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint.”
- Edward Hopper
“We see ourselves when other people see us.”
- Mickalene Thomas

Sitting for a painted portrait involves taking time out of normal life, of sitting still, being looked at and listened to, listening and sharing. In the age of the instant digital, online selfie, this process contrasts with its slowness, intensity and physical presence. It is a reminder that we are not pixels, that personal relations are important and require time and presence.
I will paint your portrait from a live sitting, sized up to 10 x 10 inches. This process requires the subject to sit still for 15 minutes at a time.

We gather to honor the invisible work of caregiving and to deeply attune to the herbal allies along the journey. This workshop will blend shamanic drumming, plant botany and the joy of gathering together. Sunday, Jan 28 at Jill's house starting on time at 3:00 pm and ending at 5 pm

It’s cool to play Dungeons and Dragons again! Everyone is playing these days (www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-uncanny-resurrection-of-dungeons-and-dragons) and you should, too. It’s fun, provides a creative outlet, and offers a social experience unlike any other. Your imagination is the only limit. At its core, D&D is a story telling game, and everyone who plays gets to tell part of the tale.
And who better to guide you through these magical realms than UUCM’s very own Ted Hunter? Join Ted and your new comrades for an evening of high adventure and deeds of daring do! Ted will provide everything you need (rules, dice, miniatures, funny voices, etc.), including snacks and drinks. Whether you are a novice or have years of adventuring under your belt, a good time will be had by all! Game day is Saturday at 1 pm, March 24, 2018. We can play as long as we want!
