I Give You My A.L.L.

Yesterday the piece I checked out from the Art Lending Library arrived!

Brightening up a really, really beige wall.

It's a painting by West Seattle resident Isabel Collins, titled: Temenos. Translation....anyone?

When I first saw the painting, I admit, I recoiled at first. I'm not accustomed to enjoying neon colors. But as I moved around the Art Lending Library collection, something kept pulling me back to this strange little whimsical world. Perhaps it reminded me of someone...

Could you say no to that face?

Additonally, Seth Damm (the Art Lending Librarian) delivered my very own laminated A.L.L. library card, plus some rules and regulations, plus a blank "comment form," upon which I may/may not write the thoughts and reflections I encounter while living with this piece in my office for the next three months.

That doesn't look like me.

Them's the rules.

I'm really glad I signed up with this killer project. Stay tuned to the CAB and we'll be sure to alert you to the next A.L.L. opening, where you can sign up and check out a piece of artwork yourself.
