It's just so hard. Seems as though I get kicked off Blogger all the time. Anyway, after some frustration this morning I managed to get back on and here I am with photos. The two landscape photos got reversed. Sunday I was gratefully here in Eastport, and took the dog for a little hike up to the Overlook at Shackford Head State Park. It was an extraordinarily beautiful day, andI was glad that I brought my camera. I took 6 photos and will publish those as well in hopefully the correct (left to right order). It has been a busy couple of weeks for me. I am still in the nesting mode, and spent last week making ribbon curtains for the upstairs guestroom, little cafe' curtains for my bedroom made from a lovely candlewicking material, and a pair of very long curtains to disguise bare wallboard and framing. The color is luscious,"Paprika", and will cover a piece of furniture with it when the carpenter work is completed. I am now thinking of having some curtains in the living room, at least for the winter. Emma made a good point about the black rectangles at night. Will need to think about what I would like to have, and more importantly what I can afford.
The Gallery meeting went well on Tuesday evening, and the Policy Nazis did very well, as all was agreed upon with only a couple of addendums. Food was delicious as usual, and casual conversation rounded out the evening.
Art Day was fun as well as fruitful. It is truly a wonderful afternoon. Folks working on their art of the moment, drawing, spinning, knitting, and of course the painters. Lisa worked on a fall stilllife that was just beautiful, and our Cheri worked hard on a portrait, I began a new stilllife, and am still unsure whether or not I will continue with it. I have another idea for the same subject matter, but will probably finish this one before I do the other one.
Weatherwise this week was unbelievable, lovely warm days, and cool nights. Love having the woodstove going it is so cozy and snug. I have so bonded with this little house and surrounding property. It really just dawned on me last week,IT'S REALLY MINE. There are times, believe me, that I still can't believe it, but here I am, and don't plan to leave, anytime soon.
I'm back to the 'Other Life" today, but I'm certain that I will enjoy the ride down Rt. 9. It is always a pretty drive, if you like the woods, and I do. The scenery is breathtaking from atop the hills. Hopefully the next three days won't be too taxing, as I really want to get into my painting next week, and throughout the winter for that matter. I really need to take time in the morning, three to four hours, just to do that to keep my hand and eyes skillful. The more I paint, the more comfortable I become with my paint, and my ideas.
I will publish this Blog, then I will also post the other photos of Shackford Overlook.
