I made add some more tones to this one....it didn't photograph well, it is a bit more warm in overall feel with all the lovely caramel brown tones. I finished this one up yesterday.

BIGGEST NEWS...it is raining raining raining. We are desperate for rain so this is a welcome thing. Last night I was snuggled in bed and Terry called out for me to come sniff....he smelled smoke. As I hit the den and took a whiff, I whirled around and grabbed jeans and shoes and began exploring with him. Nothing had problems in the attic, or out front, but in back it was smokey and smelly...and it was pouring down rain. We continued to search for 10 min and finally I called a neighbor on the reverse side of the circle where we live and asked them to go outside...it was strange because I could not smell the smoke in the front, only the back...we are on acreage. In just moments they confirmed the same smoke and smell....we still do not know what it is, but I was relieved to wake up with the house still standing!

Today we will finish up packing things to ship. The rain halted this yesterday. I had to pile all my paintings in a room with a dehumidifier to harden them back up. This was a problem last year at this time too.

I have decided to list less on eBay and paint more now for my shows and finish up several commission pieces. I will miss the eBay income, but will be able to spend deeper moments painting. I won't give it up entirely, but I have almost enough commission work that I can cut back. I am also contemplating finishing my Masters degree I began years ago. That way if I want to teach on the college level I can. I really have NO desire to return to the public school system, but think it would be nice to work with some college age artists outside my studio classes. The children in my classes here range from age five to age sixteen. If I had kids today they would NOT attend public schools.

Gotta go, Terry is still asleep and I want to spend some time in the word this morning. Woke with a pulled neck muscle again, so have to do some stretches as well. I will not paint until later today or even tomorrow.

Grace,

Laurie

Does not look like we will make my older daughter's house for Thanksgiving.  I am sad because there will be new family to be attending along with everyone that has NOT been together since the dea
