Just spent a lovely 2 days with friends in Smiths Falls for Thanksgiving weekend, which was absolutely spectacular weather-wise. Much outdoor work was accomplished(if not by me) and socializing over croquet and wine's on the patio. A delicious turkey dinner for 14 by candlelight was a highlight last night. The break was just what I needed. We came back this afternoon and I headed for the studio pretty much after we got unpacked. I had been thinking about reworking 'On the Patio' and painting in my head while I was away! ha ha...it never really stops. So this is where I am now, and I'm feeling like I can almost hear it 'singing'.
Happy Thanksgiving Sally! Sounds like a great meal and a great time! We in US have to wait until end of November for our "Turkey Day!" Love this Patio scene! I so love your art Sally! Soothes the soul! Michael
You describe the artist's obsession so joyfully. Sometimes that preoccupation is more like torment. I love how things do resolve in your mind when you escape the work, even to go in the next room sometimes. And this is a beauty.
