I saw this photo of a Patagonian chalet on Apartment Therapy and instantly fell in love. The sage green walls and white upholstery paired with the natural stone and pine is absolutely gorgeous. High ceilings and open floor plan? Beautiful! Designers Willie Sanchez and Marcela Escalada perfected a modern-rustic look.

Gum for my Boat Florida Film Tour

January 3, 2010 · 2 Comments

Jedidiah is showing the Gum for my Boat: Surfing in Bangladesh film in Florida between January 10th and 16th. See the locations, dates, and times below.

Gum For My Boat is a story of Hope focusing on the Bangladesh Surf Club and its members. The club consists of more than 30 boys and girls and is helping to introduce surfing into a culture in a very unconventional method. Many of the children are street kids or come from very poor families. Some don’t even know how to swim, but their love for surfing brings them together and into a way of life they never even knew existed. An ocean that was once deemed off limits due to fear and a very conservative Islamic culture is now becoming source of fun, escape and even a chance for a way to make a living. Follow professional surfer, Kahana Kalama, as he works with Surfing The Nations and learns from these kids that sometimes surfing involves much more than catching waves.

Paintunes

Word: (noun) Paintunes.  Definition: music one listens to while painting.

I’m currently sitting in my studio working on a few final Christmas commissions. Both are pet portraits, my firsts but not my lasts. I happen to be obsessed with my animals – cat, Nala; miniature poodle, Chester; ball python, Oly the Sociologist; and my four ducks, who are unnamed – so I understand wanting a portrait of your furry (or not) friends. My selected paintunes while working on these pieces are songs heard on the Band of Horses Pandora station. Coincidence that the band has “Horses” in it’s name? Maybe. Probably not…
