SHOUT OUT TO RICHARD
Congrats to Richard Yipp! He knows his Richmond geography. The place was indeed the Patterson Ave. Golf Park AND PutPut (for those of us with kids). Fun for all. Maybe it is worth a visit to Patterson Golf Park. Pretty cheap entertainment, Richmond style.

STUDIO
I have many things on my mind lately. My studio is one of them. This is because of the upcoming summer art lessons I hold. I give classes to young students, 4-9 years old or thereabout. I am realizing I have to do something about my seating so I am analyzing my workspace. I think I may have to make a trip to IKEA. They have very economical prices and good design. I will also try some of Richmonds' great art stores such as Main Art in the Fan district. This is a place packed with treasures. It is located next to Virginia Commonwealth University which has an excellent art program. Main Art also has a small store located within Plant Zero, local art studio space. This place has a very hip vibe and as it is a revamped warehouse, its a cool arcitechtural space.
There are also Plaza Art and Art Market who also supply the endless stream of VCU students, local artists and designers.
So, I suppose I will have to start moving today, get my run in and then get out there to these stores. Maybe I will find some more inspiration for my next project.

INSPIRATION MEDITATION
Buddah!
In the past I have listed my inspirations for a day or week. I havn't paid too much attention to mine lately as I have been busy working but I have completed the projects I wanted to and now I am thinking about inspiration. Here the New York Times Magazine has an article on inspiration. And another site illuminates Artistic inspiration
Also, a site I just had to include because I cant really believe it...talk about inspired; Humanity Quest.com on inspiration
So my inspiration today:
Meditation - This is a fantastic site for those interested in learning a bit more about meditation and how it works in Zen Buddism. If you happen to be in the Richmond, Virginia area you can visit the Ekoji Sangha in the Fan district if this sort of thing interests you. Meditation allows me some space and time to stop all the planning and just be happy with being still.
So I will leave you with this image. Sit peacefully.
