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.

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. 

THANKS

I made this in 2020.  It’s on it’s way to it’s new home in New Hampshire.  Thanks, Jill and Chip
