"Untitled" -- 2009 Spring Bay Studio

Here's one of the latest canvases I finished just the other week -- I'd tried to post it online, but the camera was doing something weird, Noah had used up the batteries on some other giz-moe, an' all I wanted to do ws get these guys on Here!! -- Sheesh..

So here it is - finally drying out, and the pictures in the paper out of Norfolk really show just how bad the flooding was - Tom stayed overnight at Danny's apt, first, because Danny has a cold, and didn't go to work, so he got tom to stop by w/some groceries. But - Tom said that the trip to get to the apt. was something of an adventure - going down streets part way, then discovering they were flooded out...going down another street...same thing. Guess he made quite the trip around the city, but finally made it. Got things for danny, and I told both of them, that if the cold develops worse, that it wasw IMPORTANT to get to the Hosp. asap - Don't want to mess around with the Swine Flu, and it scares me to pieces.

But here, it's trying to dry out a little better than up there in Va. - Noah has swept off all the pine needles on top of the roof, gotten some of the yard around the deck, porch and sides of the cabin all cleaned off. The water in the drainage ditch has finally gone down, and the dirt road is looking like a carpet, littered with tons of colorful fall leaves. Most of the trees still have their colors shining brightly, which is something of a mystery - what with the winds for the last 2 days blowing over 30 mph with gusts near 45 -- strong leaves. That's what they are!

And I've got a couple other canvases to post on here, but for now I've got to get some painting done - there are also some orders to be made for some supplies- found a couple sites with sales, so that's a really good thing. We have so little in the way of art supply places down here, and what selection there is is WAY too overpriced. A sheet of small stickers with fish was marked at $1.25...uh? - Saw it at the Mart for .99....so, I mean, people need to make a profit, but I MEAN! -- So it's off to some of the art supply sites and get some much needed papers. They are so wonderfully colorful and make one want to just dive into some of the Sea Greens...Pale Caribbean Blues...ahhh...
