The last weekend of the exhibition begins!

Getting Ready for Friday /  by Jim Hathaway

My exhibition opens Friday so today I mop the floor. It reminds me of Sunday mornings when I played in the Oneonta Community Arts Center. It was in the first floor of a great old mansion on Ford Avenue, the Wilber Mansion, with creaky old wood floors.

My mother was president of the art center. It was one of her many volunteers. One of her responsibilities as president seemed to be mopping those old floors, so that’s where I found myself on a Sunday Morning with the smell of drying clay, oil paint, and wet moped floors.

Frame idea /  by Jim Hathaway

I’m playing with a new way to add silver to the underpaint of the new frames, connected to Arp’s Dada idea of a randon drop.

Lotus are back /  by Jim Hathaway

Lotus are back on the pond, and in my studio. I wonder if other people make thier own brushes.
