I hope that you all are well and finding joy and beauty, staying healthy and creative wherever you may be. For me lately walking in the forest with my dog is my respite and bliss. I am so appreciative for the many beautiful quiet woodland trails near my house...<br /></p><p>My two daughters are both married to wonderful men as of this year and for that I am truly grateful!<br /></p><p>For the final post of the year on the <a href="http://girlsjustwannapaint.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Girls Just Wanna Paint blog </a>I posted this painting. If you haven't visited the blog- it's really fun- we have been at it for over 12 years now and still going strong! This month's theme was "light" - These other painters are incredible!<br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPSZ4yJCv187mV50ooAPBb2g-t3oaE99I-K2swlgnM5cZHNUfWXzmclbQ3Eq5zMVlcyfP-nows77kcPftD1iTmPbRDphmvjsl0bOAboWsaYwIBWdZKRux_a7iMlxzraZd1c4j18J6Ck4O2Ld_jmUUbANEd_rDP6zI8FBypyU61wprs1cNYmvZ11SeX=s1795" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1795" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjPSZ4yJCv187mV50ooAPBb2g-t3oaE99I-K2swlgnM5cZHNUfWXzmclbQ3Eq5zMVlcyfP-nows77kcPftD1iTmPbRDphmvjsl0bOAboWsaYwIBWdZKRux_a7iMlxzraZd1c4j18J6Ck4O2Ld_jmUUbANEd_rDP6zI8FBypyU61wprs1cNYmvZ11SeX=w514-h640" width="514" /></a></div>This is called <i>"Improvised Mayhem"</i>20"x24", acrylic on canvas board.

A year! I guess the other forms of social media have taken me away from this- but I am going to send you an invitation to my open studio next Sunday, November 15. I have been making slideshows on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va9rzaRu16c">youtube </a>channel, sort of virtual bin flip through. This year I will have DEEP discounts, if you see something on the video please inquire. I know its unlikely that I'll get a crowd, and I am mandating masks and social distancing. We will have it mostly all outside.

She was still eating, and not in pain, but was getting increasingly frustrated and just had no quality of life left. It's debatable - is it easier to lose a pet tragically in an accident? or to wait the long wait to the time appointed. Neither one is good at all.<br />
My vet came to my house and gently put her to sleep outside by my water garden. It was peaceful, she wasn't scared, but heart wrenching to say the least.<br />
I am so grateful for the happy times we had with her, and will miss her so much. I've been working on pictures and models of her all summer, preparing I guess.<br />

We went to spend time in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, at Artist <a href="https://www.lynnnashart.com/">Lynn Nash's</a>. We stayed for 3 nights in her beautiful guest house, called Libby's house. Her husband's Aunt Libby had the little ramshackle house, bought for $35.00, moved onto the spectacular property on the river in the 30's. Now it has been added to and renovated into a lovely guest house. We spent a few days relaxing, painting, reading and exploring. Lynn's family welcomed us with open arms and fed us a couple of delightful dinners. So nice!<br />
We then trekked ( And Lynn drove separately) to the amazing<a href="http://www.janefiler.com/"> Jane Filer's</a> beach house in Oak Island, NC. We spent 4 more nights there, and painted our brains out- with intervals of swimming and exploring. I made a mosaic to leave at the beach house. I also delivered a larger mosaic I had made as a barter with Jane for a special framers tool. Our friend <a href="http://micheleyellin.com/scenic_route_studio/Home.html">Michele Yellin</a> also met us there. We all set up studios in the area under Jane's house to paint off and on all day and night- what a blast!<br />
The drive was long, but Laura and I never ran out of topics to discuss, and solved some of the worlds problems as well!<br />

Kris brought the paper to the beach, we threw it on the sand and poured watercolors on it, scrubbed and splatted and had a good ol' time making a mess.<br />
What it dried I visualized this painting, sorta, and just today got it to a place to show. More tweaking will happen, but I like it.<br />
See the other challenge pieces<a href="https://girlsjustwannapaint.blogspot.com/"> here</a>- the theme is over and under.<br />

It's not quite fall, summer is hanging on. This year I am experiencing a feeling of melancholy as I let go of summer. I loved the heat, (we put a pool in the back yard several years ago, and our house has NO air conditioning , and I LOVE the feeling of relief when I get in my pool). We had lots of hot days and I made a big pile of plein air paintings, most of which need a few tweaks to be complete. I love to paint, and be outside, so plein air is my go to in the warmer weather. As it gets colder I look forward to the process of working out of my imagination. There is a direct relationship to the paint and canvas, it's truly like running away while in the cozy world of my studio.<br />
Here are a few of the pieces I created over the summer.<br />
<br />

And here is what I just started today- one of three 30"x40" canvases to be part of a show next month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's partly from a watercolor I did France in 2015, and partly from another sketch, some made up and some pinterest inspired. Can't wait to get back to it!</div>

It was also a busy month for the Art Complex- Falco the red tail hawk, painted so beautifully by exhibiting artist Karie O'Donnell,</div>
larger than than life, came to hang out in the gallery. We drew him and look at carved birds by Kevin Dunn as well. It was a lovely afternoon!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">My trip to splash in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_City,_North_Carolina">Elizabeth City, North Carolina,</a> was a blast and just incredible. Splash is a gathering and celebration in a city that is being re-generated by the arts- it is a week of painting and art and music and fun. I hope to return in the fall for their “moon splash “at the end of October. Knowing Jane Filer has made a significant change in my life. Jane is at true visionary and free spirit, and lives life to the fullest. Her art sells almost before she paints it-she creates many layers of magic on the canvas with acrylics. watching her paint one sees creatures, buildings and people appear , disappear and reappear within moments. It almost seems as if somebody else is painting the piece with her. Jane picked me up at the airport on Monday, then we drove to pick up friend and artist Michele Yellin in Cary, outside of Raleigh, another fabulous person I met in 2009 at Jane‘s retreat. We have stayed in touch and have had a few adventures since then. We arrived in Elizabeth city at our beautiful guest house on the Little River where we stayed with Lynn Nash, a gifted and wonderful artist. She lives where the original customs house on the Little River was in Elizabeth City (the Albermarle) and the edges of the river are lined with ballasts from the ships that came to the customs house. The river banks are also lined with cypress trees .I never saw cypress "knees" before! Giant blooming magnolia trees are everywhere, We stayed in the beautifully renovated guest house. I think I had died and gone to heaven I was not sure where I was going to be staying until the day before I left – the artists all put people in their homes. the southern hospitality is beyond comprehension!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">When I arrived Monday I set up an easel in a corner of a room at a table, but the weather was so good I knew that I had to be outside painting. It was a challenge because I flew down and I don’t have the state of the art plein air painting equipment but between everybody’s loans and stuff I sent down prior I was able to be quite well appointed. I painted on the waterfront the first day and enjoyed a painting a view of some buildings. The next day after my morning swim ( the river really looks more like a lake and the water was so warm) and coffee with the girls on the terrace, we went back to the art building, 20 minutes away. The old arcade where we were all painting was bought by a wonderful couple who let us use it for the week.The arts has truly reenergized this place! They had couches and a piano on the street and music happened on and off all week. It was so fun to walk down the corridor and see all the different artist set up painting in many different styles are different levels. This is not an exclusive event . One just needs to have a spirit of fun and sharing-no snobs allowed! I got my gear and my straw hat and headed out back to the waterfront. People were out of this world friendly ! every single person was just charming and friendly they don’t collect the harbor of hospitality for nothing!</span></span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was even featured on the cover of the daily paper.</span><a href="http://www.dailyadvance.com/Lifestyles/2018/06/06/Artists-paint-connect-converse-during-summer-SPLASH.html" style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;">http://www.dailyadvance.com/Lifestyles/2018/06/06/Artists-paint-connect-converse-during-summer-SPLASH.html</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I enjoyed the buildings and the street scenes so much - and we were blessed with perfect weather every day. On Wednesday the organizer of this – Carolyn Peel – opened up her home on the river for a fabulous party. Best fried chicken I’ve ever had! And her house is full of art that made me swoon – colorful and fun and whimsical-SO my kind of thing! We ate a couple nights at a wonderful restaurant called Hoppin John’s – shrimp and grits were to die for. And $7.00 martinis! Sitting outside under the café lights was like being in a movie and as we dined and caroused we were being painted by a couple of plein air artists with headlamps on... </span></span><br style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;" /><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The week culminated with an art walk, and then a lovely dinner at Lyn’s house and on the river. The week went by fast and fun and furiously. I managed to get eight acrylic paintings and six watercolor paintings done in total.I will post those when I finish- I have them all out in my studio to finish. I plan to return for the fall splash !</span></span></span><br />

This painting is one I did over the winter - I love turtles. I thought it would be fitting for the theme of "home" since turtles have their homes on their backs at all times. I feel a bit like a turtle retreating into my shell lately, but it is the time of year to burst out!<br />
