The latest week of my life: Giverny





I was skeptical, if not terrified, of the prospect of 18 art school girls living in close quarters for a week. But I'm realizing in Giverny that each person in marchutz has a story, a coolness, or an interestingness to them. In other words, I'm having a great week. I'm not sure whether i enjoyed getting to know everyone better, sculpting with GREG WYATT (google him!), seeing Monet's freaking gardens, or our hostel dinners the best. It was all amazing, and living in a Bed and Breakfast with a dredded french owner and having tea gossip with natalie every day was just fabulous. I think it was also the first time i experienced Autumn, i mean the real stuff with the colder weather and the fog and the brightly colored trees and such. Not to mention, I assumed I would be bothered to spend my Fall break "working" from about 8am-7pm, but that's the great thing about art. Working is a pleasure, and as cliche as it might seem, there's nothing better I could possibly be doing with my time.

  1. Gorgeous pictures! Thank you for posting them. We're having a typical Texas fall meaning that it's supposed to get up to 80 degrees on Sunday. You never know whether to wear a coat or shorts when you go outside. The leaves will be pretty for a week, then it will freeze one night after one of those 80 degree days and they will all fall off. See what you're missing? I shouldn't talk like that. You may decide never to come home. I miss you!

  2. Today was awesome weather in Austin! It was not cold, and there was plenty of sun and wind. These pictures look amazing, by the way. I wish we had a real fall with color changing trees. Green-Brown-Green does get old!

    It was nice talking to you on FB today. I'm waiting for the Pub video-blogs.
