Brushes: Here’s a painting that was just fun to do–Colorful Cubism. I found these great plastic boxes at The Container Store and immediately knew that painting them would brighten up a dark December day. I hope these bright colors will brighten your day, too!
Colorful Cubism
Books: I re-read Wallace Stegner’s Angle of Repose for our couples’ book group group. I first read Angle of Repose at least 15 years ago, and although I liked it then, I found that my understanding of this book has improved with age. We had a great discussion with the other couples in our group, but we never reached a consensus about what Stegner believed about the angle of repose in a marriage. I would highly recommend this as a book for book groups–there are so many topics for discussion. In addition to marriage, another one of the most intriguing is whether or not Stegner’s use of Mary Foote’s correspondence constitutes plagarism.
My favorite of Stegner’s books is still Crossing to Safety, but Angle of Repose is moving up the list!
