The two (among many) beautiful parks in Prague










Last weekend we enjoyed beautiful spring days outdoors. Stromovka is a park in Prague center and Divoka Sarka is at the outskirt. Both have stunning views. Divoka Sarka has a fascinating history (or more accurately 'herstory.' You can enjoy here: http://www.h2g2.com/approved_entry/A5140478

New work; titled "Moth"


Excited by this meter x meter oil painting on contact paper. Painting is shaped to the forms. Have to test it on glass to see how the painting will hold up and how the light will play a role. It was an amazing JOY to paint again!

picking out bits and pieces

From the start of this year, most of my time is spent on the community I work with. My family seems to function well enough now on their own, without my constant attention, as it was when Ali was little. But I have mixed feelings about the latter. There is both a great joy in being able to focus on teaching art throughout the day, and at the same time, there is a great sadness in having my 'baby' grow up. (So much so, that I have been yearning- in theory- for another, although that may not be the correct solution to the sadness either.) I realize, I only spend maximum of a couple quality hours with her and weekends. Here are some of our moments from the past month:


At a playground at Jiriho z Podebrad


 In a plastic bubble in a pool at Matejska Pout




 Alenka photographs the interior of Bohemian Bagel

 Hers and mine- fresh squeezed oj and carrot juice.

 Special dinner followed by cuddles, after a long day. Dinner at Strossmayerovo Namesti,
 Chinese noodles and seaweed salad and cuddles at home while skyping Babi Dasa.
