Desperately painting to finish so I can take paintings to the "Wings over the Rockies" show. I thought I had another week, argh!At the spring equinox, residents of the valley present offerings of coloured eggs to the Goddess to insure adequate rainfall and good golf scores.
Yesterday, an artist-in-residency I had applied for let me know there was no residence available. I also got passed over for a grant to study in Alberta. I'm feeling pretty discouraged. I'm in a workshop this week and feeling like I can't paint. Spring feels like it is never coming to this valley. I am going to go find some cheese to enjoy with this whine.
This is taken from a snapshot of my brother's house in Illinois. It has since been remodeled by a tornado, but all is well.
