I had Shingles in Sept., kidney infections in Oct, and Gregg mangled his thumb in Nov. It was a terrible fall.
More monarch wings
Monarchs will flock to a puddle for a drink.
A Good Marriage
Architecturally when walls made of different materials are joined, it is called a marriage. This screen- oil on two panels, depicts a log wall meeting a hand stacked stone fire place. See this piece in the window at Art On Depot in Waynesville.
Hand built
All of the old farm buildings were built by hand, with local materials. Those materials have weathered and aged into beauty. This painting of a potato barn is at Art on Depot, Waynesville.
Three of a kind
I’m doing series of small paintings from previous big ones. Maybe I can lure people in with a small version, at the street fair, The Whole Bloomin’ Thing.
Does size matter?
This screen is 80″x 68″. The image in yesterday’s post is 5″x7″. 
More log cabins
These are some production pieces slated for Art on Depot. The drawing is done with enamel paint, flowing from a bamboo skewer. The pastels enhance the atmosphere and season.
Human refinements on Nature
I continue exploring what impact humans have over nature. This flower was made of dripped enamel, blue, then collage and drawing elements added. I could copyright it, patent it, and claim that I made a better flower. International agro businesses do it every day.
Halloween horror
We got between 12″ and 14″ of snow, from the storm that hit W.Va. But the town nearest us, just got a dusting. A neighbor at a higher elev. got 22″. Our tractor won’t move, even with chains on. Thank goodness the sun came out. Tomorrow Gregg has to go to work, even if he has to walk the 1/2 mile to the road. He walked up Mon. night at midnight. I’m not complaining, but life in 
the 47% is hard.
Quilt Square
The Dead Man in the Creek quilt square was delivered by Kay Miller on Fri. July 15. This is the second work of public art in Fines Creek. The first is the War Memorial. All communities benefit from public art.
