mdf…again

In setting up my new site and reorganizing this one last week I managed to accidentally delete two categories of files including one called mdf, which was intended to be letters between my dear friend, Kathy Todd, artist in Penzance, England and myself, artist in Boston, Massachusetts. There’s a large body of water between us but much in the way of shared history, paths and dreams. Kathy is a wonderful painter who takes much inspiration from having lived on the magical island of Tresco just off the southwest corner of England for many years. Although she hails from the States she has lived and worked in England for many years.


At any rate I wanted to get mdf up again so we can share art adventures. Making art is incredibly compelling work and just as compelling is bringing that work into the world. Kathy sent word that she is now preparing for the Affordable Art Show in London in October. Wishing you the best with that, mdf.

    It’s so wonderful to have dear friends with whom we can connect no matter what. I have a plaque that a kid with whom I worked in one of my former paid professional lives gave me. It sports a quote by Fr. Bernard Cooke: “We need to have people who mean something to us. People to whom we can turn, knowing that being with them is coming home.”
    So glad you don’t let the Pond come between you.

    mdf, debra,

    Gosh thanks! The new work will be up on line next week. Then, mdf, I hope to have the time to write a proper letter. So much art related stuff is going on over here and living in Penzance is just otherworldly. And then there’s Tresco.

    Good things,

NOW OUT!

Allan Hunter's new book, The Six Archetypes of Love, is now out! If you've ever wondered why a love affair went wrong (and who hasn't?) or how a relationship might grow, this short, concise book is a must read. Based on the idea that we move through defined stages of development in our life journeys this book helps us see just where we are and where we might go as far as love's concerned. It really is brilliant. I know, I'm a bit biased—Allan is my other half—but truly, buy this book!



A Big Shout Out!

Because it's brilliant and fun, because it just might change the way you see your life journey, even make that journey a little easier and wilder, a big shout out to Allan Hunter's new book—Stories We Need To Know.

CUPS OF KINDNESS





My friend, Debra Bures, is doing a benefit for the Northeast Ohio Foodbank. Over forty artists have donated work, including me, and you can purchase it online. Every dollar donated buys seven meals for hungry people. The show opens Sunday, December 6th. Meanwhile, check the website and see the work as it arrives.

Thank you...

Ring the bells that still can ring,

Forget your perfect offering,

There's a crack in everything,

That's how the light gets in.
~Leonard Cohen





Our world is more malleable than we think. We can bend it into better shape.
