Dear Nell,
Well thank you - I got it - a session at Yaddo 8 June to July 24. I am thrilled & astonished at such a long residency. Now begins the real task of putting the other areas of life together so it will happen. I suppose Theresa has told you of the really wild energy that is in my family life. I believe that is responsible for the explosion at work when I finally got inside a studio & close the door. I've been drawing this year but not painting since Aug. Its different somehow. Have gone to the Mosque to draw ballet & symphony in rehearsal lately & w/ some results. The paintings have all been disastrous & I hope this session at Yaddo will propell me into a level I can sustain through the rest of the year.
