Beauty on the run

I always pass by this old guy creating solitary stone towers when I run along Crissy- but today there were many little sculptures, and it looked so pretty that I had to take a picture. There's this lamp at West Elm that my friend and I are obsessing over that I believe is inspired by this :)...

Russian Hill

Today I loved playing tennis on the sunny courts in Russian Hill, my neighborhood, I love it here so much!

On my ipod was a mix of Common, the 500 days of summer soundtrack & Keane- random but such a great work out...with beautiful views, it doesn't really get much better for a Tuesday afternoon!

Bravo's Work of Art, Review Highlights

I actually like this show so far, and Miles is of course a favorite :).
Favorite lines from Saltz' & Greenberg's reviews,

"...being only “above average” is the definition of mediocrity — akin to spiritual-aesthetic death."


"By episode’s end, I was bouncing back and forth within myself between something two of the artists said. Jaclyn sighed, “I’m starting to feel a little hopeless here.” Then Miles put it all into perspective: “I like the free food, free beer, and free art supplies.”

"Miles' open appreciation and thrill over being in the studio is refreshing. Just give him "free beer and tools" and he will stick around. His youthful no baggage, no judgment approach to being a contestant on this show reassures that TV land is a legitimate venue for an artist, and not because "professionals" show up as mentors and judges, but rather because artists like him have entered the space."
