PATRIOT PATRON

Day of the paint-out. Shopping for leeks@Cherry Grove Farm 1 mo. after 9-11. I asked this local if I could take her photo-she was wearing a USA flag pin.

FARM STAND

Old Jalousie Window

It was a challenge coming up with a design solution for the window: acetate fabric, machine stitched to jalousie photo image.

CREATION CREATING @ THE FARM

This one inspired by a photo I took at the farm-the day we artists were creating. The photo reminded me of the Sistine classic. Played around with the idea. Made photocopy on acetate; stitched 2 handpainted fabrics together; then stitched to the acetate.

God Giving Life to Adam

Michelangelo gets the credit!

PAINTERS @ THE FARM

We had an art group that met every fall at a local farm. Each did their own thing - oils, pastels, photogaphy, collage & created outside, inspired at every turn

1yr we met a month post

9-11. A beautiful sunny day - flags all over the farm, the pickups, the cars, maiboxes!

Making it even more special were the house painters also painting - their canvas - the old farm house.

IT'S FALL IN NEW ENGLAND

HAITI IN MY KITCHEN

Sometimes it takes me a while to frame a piece - this one 1 1/2 yrs! Finally had Bryn Gillette's photo of a Haitian teenager framed. I hung it in my kitchen this past weekend.

It was a thank you gift for hosting the launch of Bryn's new website & exhibit of his Haiti inspired artwork March '99, well before the recent earthquake. W/art sales he supports an orphan ministry in Haiti.

Exhibit & launch party March '99.

FIL'S ON MY WALL

After 40+ years I reconnected on Facebook w/Filomena, college artmajor classmate. Among other updates is that she's an extraordinary studio artist, acrylics being her medium. I recently purchased Golden Pastures. Hung it yesterday & today it's right at home surrounded w/color!
