i love the way, with so much to look at around tom and maysaa's living room, my girl is still staring right at the camera
One moment she was in my studio in Kuwait, and the next she was in an American SUV driven by Maysaa Al-Mumin en route to Doha, Qatar via Saudi Arabia. She’s now finally up on the Modeen living room wall. This painting, The Note, has seen many exhibitions and even traveled to Florence with me. It’s funny, however, how things work out and she ends up with two dear friends, far away but close. (more…)

A dear, dear friend of mine (and one of my most favorite women in the world) called me the other day as I was doing my grocery shopping. She’d just seen my post Why it’s Important to Play and loved the whole potato thing. Over the phone-at the supermarket, I’m surprised how I managed to get everything I needed right-we brainstormed on how I could create a picture specially for her. So I thought: the most perfect thing was to make a potato picture with her two little girls in it. Thanks, M, that was fun!
