I've moved a few times and am in the woods in New Hampshire. Still getting settled but just hung two of your paintings in my small apartment. They're timeless! karenwihbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853919303652337227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14006494.post-43938313168260489502017-09-21T09:55:04.115-04:002017-09-21T09:55:04.115-04:00Cherie I so understand your reasons for wanting to...Cherie I so understand your reasons for wanting to return to Bangor. Moving as much as I have done there are places and times I'd love to go back to. Remembering isn't the same as being there in the moment, is it?<br /><br />I do hope you'll keep blogging.

PJ posted a link to your blog and said I'd like it and the painting intrigued me and so naturally I hopped on over and settled in with a cup of coffee. PJ is very nearly always right. <br /><br />Congratulations on selling that fine painting. I'm sure it went to a good home. I wish you could have met Betty Beeby of Eastport Michigan. She was a wonderful artist who made a living from her art and who also spent a great deal of her time encouraging young artists. "Yes," she said to them. "Yes you can make a living as an artist." She would give you a good talking-to. But she would also understand exactly how you feel.<br /><br />It's easier for writers to let go of work - at least we still have it, and can read it any time we like. Although sometimes when work is published it is not as intended . . . (In fairness I have to admit it's sometimes better.) Betty Beeby told stories about the various drafts she made of work for book illustrations. A tedious business, trying to create someone else's vision. But a great joy to create your own vision and then to know that someone else loves it enough to want to take it home! <br /><br />I hope you keep blogging. I suspect PJ is trying to nudge me back to writing life and then there will be new Torch Lake Views posts. If I'm lucky, she'll succeed.

Somehow, you in Eastport, me in Northport -- it makes me feel closer to you, even though yours is Eastport, Maine, not Michigan. I know -- makes no sense....<br /><br />Now, about linking to Fb. Look up at the top of your blogspot page. You should be on the page with just the post you want to link. See the word "More" with a little downward point? Click on that, and you'll get -- now I forget exactly what it will say, but I think something like "Share with Facebook," and then you click and have the choice of linking on your own timeline (or status or whatever!!!) or on a page you manage. It's really quite slick and easy, and I can't believe it took me so long to figure it out.P. J. Grathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693462910472164289noreply@blogger.com
