So, for some reason, this web site will not recognize and post the photo I just took. The project I have been working at all summer is a very special still life. After I enter it and hopefully be accepted into the regional show, then I will post the photo. This painting will remain with me and hopefully with the family for generations. I will tell you more about it as the time seems best.
There have been many things scheduled for us in these few short months. It all began with several loved ones becoming ill and experiencing untimely deaths. There was graduation and his celebration, then a wedding, there was a baby shower and the baby arrived early. There was a hastily planned trip to some wonderful museums in Massachusetts, including a new on in New Salem that I learned about on Andrew Tischler’s Podcast where he interviewed Michael Klein, the instructor of the academy there. We were greeted warmly and had the very best day possible enjoying the magnificent art and also the people. The owner’s name is Laura Barletta. She and her daughter and .michael’s wife made us feel like family friends. The area is countryside, the building rivals any city museum in beauty and convenience and the art is above and beyond.
so then our area has experienced a drought and heat wave so we arrived home to veggie and flower gardens that needed rescued. Bruce then reinsured his hip and back that is in treatment for a year and now the produce is ripe and must be cared for. Oh, so much more, but I just wanted to check in. I have other projects in the works that I will mention next time.
I will try again to get the photo downloaded and posted. See ya next time. Hugs, Diana
