it may not be my birthday month, but it’s my birthday within a month.  that counts, right?  you see, you have to do these blogs early so all of the potential friends and family viewing can start getting ideas together.  (i know, i’m terrible!!!  but blogging about what i really really want seems way less cocky than telling someone these specific items in person.)  *sigh* i realize that some of these items are highly ambitious (ahemmm… #3) but a girl can dream can’t she???

.1 a trumpet .2 geronimo balloon .3 dom perignon .4 paris diptyque candle (in baise or feus de bois) .5 extra long fireplace matches ( a la auntie mame) .6 mark rothko coffee table book .7 audrey style .8 bocce ball .9 croquet set .10 margaret elizabeth tassle earrings (in burnt orange or lapis a la holly golightly) .11 monogram necklace .12 a streetcar named desire .13 grey gardens criterion collection .14 boot drinking mug .15 butter nail polish (in snog or dahling)

any takers???

i dream of rothko

yesterday i found myself at the MoMA starring at this painting.  i simply adore mark rothko.

as i was looking at this, i felt the warmth of a beach, i began to crave italian ice, and it was almost as if sunshine was beaming all around me.  it was the perfect example of a painting transporting you to another place of emotion.

i didn’t really begin to view rothko’s work until my 20th century art history class.  he has an abstract style with colours that compliment each other and while a lot of people may wonder “is this really art?” i think it’s all quite lovely.  i do feel different emotions looking at his work.  each one is special.

what i enjoy about rothko’s work is that they are so large and you are completely engulfed into the colour.
