today


A friend I hadn't seen for two years popped in with a painting for me to touch up. It is his copy of the Raffaello's "Madonna del Cardelino" (photo of original above). He wasn't happy with his reproduction of the young angel, but the original is not easy! I will need to balance and integrate his hand, my hand, and the hand of the master. It will be a welcome change, something in oil and only technique and judgement involved, quite soothing and meditative work.

Today I am grateful for renewed friendships.
