Wow! That went quickly, and I feel like I've just begunthe awesome Facebook challenge. It has been so much
fun, and there are so many paintings I'd like to share,
and so many artists I want to nominate. But I may take
a two day break from this line of thinking and move
on -- or else -- keep posting a bunch of paintings,
and naming super artists. We will see.

this summer was blown away, knocked over, in love
with the clouds in Nova Scotia and here, and
everywhere. I still am, but I'm trying to control
myself.

Cleaning up rooms in the past few weeks Iunearthed my diary from when I was 11 - 16.
Fact of very early life: I was in love with someone,
possibly someone new almost every day.
Now it's visual. This summer clouds were
an obsession, and once caught, always caught.
Warning -- cloud love can be hazardous to
driving. Wait for a red light, to really 'look
up, look way, way up!'
Nova Scotia is my second home, and I feel
so happy every time I return. My good friend
Frank Daley, who hired me to teach school
success used to say that you can't love a
thing. Here is where we disagree. As
an artist you can love a thing, a food,
and a place. Just differently.
Have a loving-what-you-want-to-paint day.
