Our friends Karen and Larry brought and stacked firewood for us when we could not. This is a Godsend.
Generous
Hurricane five hundred miles inland
I’ve struggled to express the giant mess that Hurricane Helene caused.
Toned down
I love color. A pile of firewood has a lot of color in it. Also a lot of light and dark area. This is a painting, not a pile of firewood.
Shlomo
Does this look like a flower to you? It’s supposed to be a portrait of his turtle, but he saw it as a flower. That undermined my confidence, mightily.
Firewood
A friend brought us plenty of firewood to get through the winter while Gregg was awaiting hip replacement surgery. An unexpected gesture, a godsend.
Hurricane Helene
Even being in the middle of it, the destruction is hard to believe. Gregg and I went for eight days without power, but we had food, water, and many godsends. Brandon Mitchell from Virginia and his buddy brought a truckload of supplies and a starlink. Brandon wandered into my studio, and really looked. Most people are off put. He liked this one, and we made a deal. THANKS to all of the volunteers helping us get through this.
Chicory and Wildflowers
Summer in WNC.
Out of the Blue
I made this in 2020. It’s on it’s way to it’s new home in New Hampshire. Thanks, Jill and Chip
Critters keep sneaking into my paintings
In April it was a squirrel falling from the birdfeeder. Now, on a peaceful morning walk, a humming bird flew in the top right side. I love living in the country.
Underground Landscape Yellow
Things not seen. Faith, gravity, and spring underground.
