Restart • Re-look • Reboot
After picking our son up from Johnson City, TN, he’s back home and has a chance to restart (again). Will it be like the Phoenix Rising via OnMilwaukee.com? (Great resource for some previous posts I wrote. There is a lot of artistic talent in this town, btw.) I really like the colors in this mural too.
He plans to relook at his situation for getting a job and going back to school.
His ticket home, however was his adorable 12 week old kitten named Ingmar. Oh my gosh, how could I resist? He’s way too cute, plus he reminds me of Dante. We haven’t had a cat in the house in over 3 years now. He’s a welcome distraction but it’s hard to get a lot of work done when he loves my desk and my mouse. 😉 He has that, “What, did I do anything wrong? ” look, after attacking the cord on my shade, going after all my papers, pushing them off and purring repeatedly.
We have lots of plans this fall, with many projects and much work to complete before the election and new year. We also hope to fit in a trip to Rhode Island. Maybe we’ll see these fabulous drive-by, trompe l’oeil, will-make-you-re-look murals along the way. They were designed by Gretchen Dow Simpson and were painted by muralist Johan Bjurman along Highway 95 in Pawtucket, as a beautification project.
Fall is a time of change and we have a lot of change here in our household going on. Remembering this article and David Byrne’s musical roots in RI. I thought I post his latest new musical venture with St. Vincent, with the album, Love This Giant. Looks like change is constant and you can always reinvent yourself, reboot and try new things whether successful or not. David Bryne is not only trying out a new take on jazz as another musical genre but he’s written a new book about How Music Works. I’ll add it on my list for my book group.
In the meantime, I like the sound of this song, not sure what it really means and I can only think of what the neighbors must have thought while they were shooting it. David Bryne is living up to his reputation of being anything but ordinary.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
