Perpetual Student

painting

canvas on the easel

brushes and paints set out

is this who I am now?

an artist wannabe?

 

back in school again

university this time

not just art class

waking up my brain

relearning verb tenses

vocabulary and more

reviewing Spanish

starting to remember

 

I say I’ve retired

when people ask

but that is the wrong word

I need a new word

for this time of my life

as artist, poet, wife, mother

and perpetual student

I haven't done much writing since we came back from Israel in the winter. I was concentrating more on my art and now on my Spanish classes. I took out my notebook again last night and it felt like the right time to start writing again.

 

As an art update my drawing of Inside the City, Jerusalem, (6/7/2012 post) was accepted into a juried show in Boston. It will be at the Rubin-Frankel Gallery for the Alumni & Faculty Show from November 15, 2012 to January 15, 2013.
