I arrived earlier than I would have thought and was welcomed by the happy smile of my dear sister Kat . We spent much of the day setting up my studio,gathering supplies and the furnishings that would not have flown well , but really just catching up and recognizing how much I miss her.
We tacked up the canvas I’m to work on tomorrow and she proved to be an admirable studio assistant.
Walking about town in the midst of much gay pride festivity , I was struck by what a pretty city Philadelphia is and the richness its history provides.
After what seemed an endless day of walking about, we were happy for well earned dinner and drinkies. Tomorrow I begin anew …

Kat is so lovely–it is good to see her face again! Love the photos of Philly and hoping the city is an inspiration to you! I’ll pm you about possible dates for a visit.
much love,
Claire
I know she would love to see you, looking forward to seeing you soon
The critique program begins minutes from now and I am quite nervous
How wonderful that your sister is there. Thanks for sharing your journey. I look forward to the continuing posts from art school, and your city ramblings.
