here is what happens when

a saturday

the eve of Ottawa Fashion Week

a MOMA modern art history “expressionism” module

reflections on an odd number of weeks

and

a Marie-Claire magazine

collide

…and, of course a reverent nod to both Wangechi Mutu and Egon Schiele who rocked my world this week

classical

My parents gave me the gift of a classical music education.

I squandered it as a silly teen, trading violin for adolescence.

Tonight I am reminded of how fundamental it is to my make-up.

Though today I am grateful for my guitar,

 I am forever grateful for my classical training.

Ever awed by the genius of classical music.

…maybe I will try to paint a song…hmmm…

Thank you to a dear friend and a new friend for a lovely evening.
