As you may have noticed there was a flurry if activ­ity at the end of May. But June has been too HOT to work. I have tried to be in my stu­dio. I just can’t do it. Last week­end I went in to show some work to another artist and you just couldn’t be in the space. It was 80 degrees inside at 8 am and I’m on the sec­ond floor.

Don’t be fooled by the lows… that’s with 80 per­cent humidity.

I just can’t work in that heat. I sweat on the paper. Ick. And the humid­ity curls every­thing up.

I’m begin­ning to think about how I can make art in the sum­mer. This stu­dio space is just not work­ing. I think some trips to the shore are needed. The breeze of the ocean makes it tol­er­a­ble to be out­side. I’m also think­ing about mov­ing draw­ing sup­plies down­town in my office. Not ideal but maybe I can make some work there.

It’s easy when away with­out air con­di­tion­ing. You can accli­mate. Mak­ing the shift is difficult.
