Yesterday morning, I was brushing my teeth when I had this funny sensation; at first I thought the brush came off of my electric tooth brush; wrong, it was a bridgework that had come off. So instead of spending a leisurely (that's tongue-in-cheek!) day designing my second warp, I had to go into town. Fair enough, at least it was painless. Then I found out a mini festival on architecture-related documentaries was about to close, so instead of going home immediately on the 1PM bus, I caught two terrific shorties. One was a hilarious documentary on Philip Johnson and his "homes" on his New Canaan estate; the second was on New Zealander Bill Toomath adding a study (or more like a desk) based on Antonello de Messina's "St Jerome in his Study". I wished there were more relating to the painting and the renovation in the second one, but as one who wanted to be an architect, among many other things, until she found out she needed to be able to draw, it was exhilarating. And I really needed to clear my head of the images of this last warp, so it was time well-spent.
I've assumed Johnson's estate would have its own web site, but I haven't found it yet; if you do, can you please let me know?
As I walked out the cinema, I saw the above. Back to real life, eh?

I know how the dentist can be an ordeal for you, so I'm relieved to hear that this was painless. And it's great how your turned the outing into a mini-artist-date with yourself. Good on you, darlin'!
Artist's Date - now that's a concept I hadn't thought of since.... 2002! I have her next book; I must do another three months of soothing thinking.
