no running, no painting!

just a note to explain my absence... have a broken arm, and it will be awhile before i can do much of anything.

A great read!

I'd like to recommend a wonderful painting book I just received. I read it cover to cover because the images were so beautiful and the text so engaging I couldn't put it down. For both the art student and the collector, or anyone who just enjoys beautiful images, this is a great read. Michael Chesley Johnson, the author, is a painter who lives in the Canadian Maritimes on Campobello Island, a beautiful spot where long ago president Roosevelt maintained a residence. Michael has captured the island through all four seasons, and along with the paintings and his meditations and thoughts are some interesting historical facts about the area. You can visit Michael's website with more information on this book, another upcoming book, and many of his beautiful paintings at: http://www.michaelchesleyjohnson.com/

The gallery opening was last Friday evening. I am so glad it is all done. It was a really wonderful evening, so many friends and other guests came, and I was really honored by their presence. And a few sales happened as well, which is always a good thing too!
We had a couple of bottles of wine left over from the reception, and this was one we brought home. Salute!
