hot hope

Hot hope for a cold, raw day. This is one of 100 or so 'nipples', part of a piece called Nip It in the Bud, which was created by emerging artist Anna Divinsky for a delightful show she had this spring in Pittsburgh. Each nipple was 3" x 3" and made of mounted hand-painted silk. It's a miserable day here, made a bit worse by the electric wire from the utility pole to the house falling down. Nothing can be done to fix it until the rain stops. Anna's work was super when I saw it. On a day like today it's as good as Tokaj, not that there is any Tokaj at hand.
