Fall 2012 Into Winter ...

It's been a year since this leg of my journey has begun: Fall is my season of REBIRTH (with proof in the amount of pics) ... there is something about living through experiences h o n e s t l y + working t h r o u g h things rather than hiding: that has brought such a depth to living ... I stand in awe: 

Reconnected with my Sistah Becca before she moved to Turkey ... such a BLESSING. 

We ate at the Market Club ...

 Bex knows about the Y A W P ... 

September 8th will live in infamy but I will look at the blessing in disguise: that is the day I got my Art Groove back ON ... 

Small piece: first magazine cover Art for an international magazine + big piece under it: is the second of my trio of pieces based on my rebirth-ing ... 

 There were signs everywhere and I began to heed them: 

Ate at Nopalitos with my Auntie BFF on her Birthday (I Love You): 

Then after Auntie's big partee the Cousins went o u t for a stellar evening: First stop was where? The Hideaway ...

(Via Alysee's Mobile Phone ... Someone asked are we all Siblings?)

Went to the Delta with my Dad: 

Pupusa for lunch ... 

Made a new friend ... 

A local saw me taking this pic + promptly escorted Dad + I into 
Fosters Big Horn and introduced us to the owner: we should have eaten here! 

More of the Hideaway with my BFF: 

I would eat here every night if I could afford it ... 

 Serendipitous that Dad + I went on the last day that Fords Real Hamburgers was open ... 

Then we went down a few feet to Capital Nursery which was closing too: sign of the times ... 

Went to an Art show that was an AHA moment for me ...

Had Promo materials made + this pic was taken on another infamous day ... 

Re-discovering my spiritual side: 

Then I Met Alice Waters ... 

Family Wedding (I HEART my so b i g familia: I will never stray again) in the Delta: 

A true photographer (my nephew Shawn) uses film: LOVE of photography runs deep in our familia ...

 My beloved Sistah Cuz Cyndi (MUAH MUAH!) from Hawai'i came to town: 

Always take loved ones to Akebono (best kept secret in Sacto) ...

Always take loved ones to the Swiss Buda (best karaoke in Sacto) ... 

Made her Art ... 


Out + About in Midtown: 

Sadie LOVES her Auntie Cyndi ... 

Family time at Bruddah Cuz Joe's house: 

We know how to eat ... 

Someone is studying AND passed =)! 

They adopted me! It must mean I have to empty the dishwasher now ... 

Then I did a bit of (window) shopping ...

Burberry ... 

J Crew ... 

Gucci ...

Kylie was Christened: 

Went on a lovely day trip with the Moore Familia: THANK you =): 

Fave Arty Shot of the day ... 




On the way home everyone was watching the last game of the World Series ... 

Go Giants ... 

My candidate ... 


Then we celebrated my beloved Dad's 79th Birthday: You are the gift in my life Daddy + I Love You ... 

I had the Meatloaf Sammie ...

More adventures with my Auntie BFF: 

Comments please ... 

Oh Al The Wop's ...

Some Wine Tasting ... 

The light + color this season was amazing: 

(Thank YOU Susan + Glo + June for our D A Y) ...

Discovered a new Art gallery in Oak Park ... 

Appropriate for rebirth-ing ...

... On Thanksgiving Day (yet another day that will live in infamy: and for that I will always be THANK - full for) ...

Backyard studio ;) ... 

This a meatloaf cupcake ...  

My time + talks with my BFF Mary always fills me with a sense of h o m e: thank YOU for being my rock this past year Sistah ... LOVE you endlessly ...

Art by Steve Hamm  ... 

Art continues to save me + I HEART my garage studio: how blessed am I for all this S P A C E ... 

And then I got my iPhone + a new addiction began: it's called Instagram: I'm YAWPING: Add Me!

And then like that we are caught up ... Early Winter 2012 into 2013 is next!
