Condo getting emptied

My sisters have been working hard to get mom's condo emptied out. My duty today was to do stuff with mom. Eventually I brought mom back to the condo but my sisters has already left. We picked up a few things and took them to her new apartment.

Old photos

Going through stacks of old photos with my sisters. This is a curious shot of my dad from the 50s, probably by a street photographer.

Student gala screening

We attended a fun annual event that the film students put on to screen and celebrate the films they made a few weeks ago under the "12 Hour Film Challenge" banner. Everyone dresses up and they give out awards. Dani (pictured above) has been at the past 5 and did well tonight, willing the top awards.

Relaxing day off?

No, it was not a relaxing day off. I sat down to start writing but only put six words down when I got a phone call and had to do some family stuff. Retirement inches very very slowly forward.

Mom comes to see art





We took mom to see William's show this afternoon, around 3:30. One magical thing was that the sun, which is obviously to the south, was reflecting off a bank building north of the gallery and lighting the exhibition with direct northern light, making it look quite different than it usually does.

 Continuing the sketches as underpainting. This one might have worked better.
