Moving on...

Moving on and finished with my mini rant from previous post. Sorry about that. I won't do it again. Meanwhile I decided to enter another show, this one is the David A. Leffel Award for Excellence in Painting competition. The category is Still Life. An artist friend of mine bought this from me but if it is accepted it won't be necessary to send it in. They will want a high resolution jpeg for use in art magazines. It is always nice, too, when a friend purchases a piece because I can always go visit it if I want. I am also trying to think about what I want to start next and I have a couple of ideas. Nothing will happen for a few days though as tomorrow I am delivering work to two different galleries for members exhibits. That means traveling an hour an a half south on the island and we have more snow. The mountain road will be slow and treacherous possibly in places but I know how to be careful. With the other errands I will need to do while down there it will be a long, tiring day. I probably won't get home until after dark and then I will look forward to a relaxing couple of days, reading, catching up on light housework, and allowing myself to not even think about art for a bit. 


I am also concerned because a dear friend back in Nova Scotia, whom I have only gotten to know on FB has had a stroke and I am very worried about him. He paints also and we have had a wonderful few months communicating about our various projects. At 74 he has so much vitality and interest in life...I am hoping this doesn't set him back too far. I just received word from a mutual friend that he has feeling back in his arms and legs...good news! Get Well, Harvey!
