Tony Vevers
I just learned from a mailing that the artist Tony Vevers passed away on March 2nd.
Very sad to hear it, however Tony had been ill for a while and this brought him some peace I hope.
I met him and his family when I was a fellow at FAWC and found his spirit so beguiling. Those eyes, those intelligent and kind eyes. He was English who had been evacuated to the US during the war with his sister Pamela.
His whole family, wife and daughters are incredible artists and people, who give Cape Cod and Provincetown much of its colour.
There will be a memorial for him in the early summer at PAAM, with which he was very much involved.
Tony was also a magnificient art teacher and verbalised art making and its process with purpose very well. I hope all his writings will be published.
This is to Tabitha, Stephanie and Elspeth, thank you and take care.

Malick Sidibe'
Last night I saw the amazing documentary on the Malian photographer Malick Sidibe'.
I had seen an exhibition of his work in Cambridge, Mass. several years ago at the Fogg Art Museum.
"Joie de vivre" captures the feeling of this man and his work.

Signs of spring
Today in the garden I found not only snowdrops but buds of forsythia and ornamental quince. The daffodils etc are green stalks with promise. The grass is green.
A few pussywillows above the door.
The sun so rare here that when it is out causes such joy and all the cats charge outside to play and hunt. I go for a walk to discover any signs of change. The sheep in the field across do not yet look heavy with pregnancy. There are still a couple of months to go before lambing.
This year I shall be around for some of it. It is important for me to witness the onset of spring and be around for its full bloom. It is my favourite season and I always want to savour it.
