“If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” – Vincent van Gogh

Tuesday – Day 13

You will never believe what happened to me this morning while packing up the KIA. It rained. No, seriously, it rained. I know, hard to believe. Soaked. Everything in the car, sopping wet. I pull out of the camp and, well, it stopped. Turned off the windshield wipers even.

Breaking camp at Long Lake, Adirondacks. A beautiful site, very near the water, mountains all around me. (photo) Oh, and rain.
I am thinking of running over to Buttermilk Falls. Apparently a beautiful waterfall there and considering the amount of rain, it is sure to be raging. Then I will arrive Paul Smith’s by noon.

Also, here is commission that I did for a friend from high school. Finished couple of weeks before leaving DC. It is a Unicorn against la luna bella, something that had become increasingly evident and important in her life, recurring images of unicorns and their inherent mysticism. It's big, 40 x 30". I was very pleased with how it turned out, especially liking the framing devise of the tree branches. I had fun doing it. It looks great with a spot light on it, but part of the agenda in creating this piece was to allow for the moon to shimmer in ambient and existing light, and perhaps at all times of the day and night, as it might hang anywhere in a home.

I will continue this entry when I get settled in up north. Cheers.
