Day Books of Sharon Frost, turning the page.

En el Túnel: F y M, los trenes a español. 27 enero, 2012. (In the Tunnel: F and M, the trains to Spanish)

7 x 14 in. double-page spread; watercolor, ink, whatever, on Stonehenge paper.

(Round trip -- it's a long trip to a language.)

 

Somehow it makes sense to write in Spanish when I'm on my way to and from Spanish class -- and I like to do the same in Spanish-speaking places, and while reading in Spanish, and while thinking Spanish thoughts.

I've got your back. 24 January, 2012.

Dibujando con Giacometti otra vez y, bueno, un autorretrato también. 22-23 enero, 2012. (Drawing with Giacometti again y a self portrait too.)

7 x 14 in. double-page spread; watercolor, ink, whatever [collage] on Stonehenge paper.

I found these sketches in a notebook -- they took me back to November in Málaga and the Giacometti exhibition at the Picasso Museum.

There was a film crew in the way and I began to sketch from the paintings and drawings partly to overcome my irritation (and besides photography was prohibited).

And then there was the film -- with Giacometti painting -- a portrait.
