Blogging seems like a fun idea...and I love reading others blogs.  I just never seemed to find my niche in it though.   Food and cooking might be fun to blog about.  I certainly have opinions on it, tho I am not great about writing about research, etc. when it comes to nutrition.  I DO read, and the ideas seem to take root, but I can never recall where the ideas came from.  

My other passion is art.   This past Saturday, Tom and I joined the High.   We saw the Dutch masters exhibit featuring Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring.  I love that painting.  It was fun to read more about it, and how it was really just a character study, and not intended to be a master piece painting.   I wonder if that is why the paint has obviously cracked so much.   Its very luminous in person.   He was a master of light and shadow.  Seeing all his, and Rembrandt's paintings in the exhibit inspires me to paint again.  I need to finish the two portraits I have been working on for two years.   I think having to scrape the glass palette again is deterring me from getting started again! 

The kiln is on, and close to firing off.  Its glaze this firing...and clay pipes.  Can't wait to open it tomorrow and see how everything did.  Especially since I finally have made myself a teapot and its in this load....
