Her email address sounds like sunkist. I thought of making a print for her, a monotype that looks like a packing crate label with oranges & lemons and a quintessential California woman, wearing a scarf perhaps or a straw hat.
Recently I've been exploring my family tree in Iowa. My
grandfather was a pioneering urologist at the U of Iowa. He always dressed like an orderly, he was often mistaken for one. Turns out there's a doctor who is doing a few chapters on him. The roads are fine for now but there is rain coming next week. The hill on Hwy 17 gets a lot of wrecks in the rains. I drove a couple from Iowa today, Des Moines. We got into some slow traffic and the guy said that I had the patience of a saint. The rush hour traffic in Des Moines lasts about 15 minutes. I told him I know all the slow areas and I know they will end soon so I just accept it.
Sometimes I drive people to a retreat facility--there are several locations in the area for that like Land of Medicine Buddha, Bosch Bahai, Rain Dance, Costanoa. I drop them off, drive away, and wonder what they will be like if I meet them again.
