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

what does heARTbeatgal do when she is craving inspiration?
she flees
(and speaks in the third person?)
new perspectives
re-energized
ready to paint



Ghada Amer & Wangechi Mutu

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.
