Upon the First Full Day of Autumn


Deliberation II

                               Constant slow movement teaches us
                               to keep working like a small creek
                               that stays clear, that does not stagnate,
                               but finds a way through numerous
                               details, deliberately.

                               Deliberation is born of joy
                               like  a bird from an egg.

                               Birds do not resemble eggs.
                               Think how different the hatching out is.

                               A white leathery snake egg, a sparrow's egg,
                               a quince seed, an appple seed.
                               Very different things look similar at one stage.

                                These leaves, our bodily personalities,
                                seem identical, but the globe
                                of soul fruit we make,
                                each is elaborately
                                unique.

Brenda Colling in GO Brooklyn Art, Greenpoint!


This Weekend. September 8-September 9.

All we need to do is register to vote, visit 5 studios, and vote for our favorite 3!

Brenda is on Manhattan Avenue...Avenue of Lomzynianka, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, and Charlotte's Patisserie (literally next door). So very convenient to make it a food and art day!


Brenda will have an exotic water bar and nibbles to for us to refresh ourselves, while we journey on to the next studio!  I'll be visiting studios in Park Slope/Bushwick/Red Hook...but there are also many studios in Greenpoint to visit!

Gail Flanery is at 511 8th Street/Park Slope
Carol Salmanson 56 Bogart Street 4th Floor/Bushwick
Allan Bolle and Marsha Clark-Linde are in Screwball spaces. 183 Lorraine/Red Hook, I suspect the calibre of artist there will be very good...and beautiful ceramics too...




Brenda Colling is on (G) train to Nassau Avenue and just around the corner.  592 Manhattan Avenue.
