Paintings Anyone?

One more day before the long-anticipated opening of Thom's and my show at the Rose Garden. I finished my framing just moments ago and tomorrow we are taking everything to the gallery to hang. This has been a long time in the preparation, but I think we are going to have a really nice and interesting exhibit. The idea is pretty novel, and I think quite a few people plan on coming. I'll certainly take pictures of the gala...........

It's Spring

My second (after changing the dog fence) fairly big Spring project was to make a path across the front garden. For one thing, it makes it easier to get to the car from the front door. It also gives me a way to get through the garden without worrying about stepping on some innocent plant. I really like the way it looks, though it needs leveling. I may or may not do that. Below are the girls gulping down water this morning after they had squawked their little lungs out telling me their waterer was dry. I always feel guilty when they run out, and they don't help by chastising me so severely. I've read that chickens dehydrate quite quickly, but they had water when I put them in last night.....come on..........

Painting and Garden

Here's the latest picture for the show.......a pastel on black paper.

Then the garden's progress as it slowly turns to Spring in Eastport. I plan on making a brick path through the garden so I won't have to walk all the way around it to get to the car, but so far all I've done is brought up a load of bricks from the back of the house. There is quite a big pile of them beside the bulkhead and I have used them for various purposes, mostly involving animal confinement. I think there's still enough left for this project. I need to weed quick........while I can still tell which is the good stuff.
