As summer ends and school get back into session I find myself getting back into more of a routine. My bible study starts back next week and I am excited about that. I have also been working on a web site this summer. I am still trying to connect it to this blog and waiting for tech help with that but my artist friend Dreama told me to take it slow and I am heeding her advice. Slowly but surely it will all fall into place. Hopefully all the kinks will be out by sometime next week. After that I am planning on posting my watercolors from my trip to France that I took in May. That was a wonderful adventure.
The water on Bantam Lake here in Litchfield Connecticut is still overflowing it's banks from the recent hurricane but the good news is our boat is still afloat. I hope you enjoy looking at "Fly Fishing"
and that is brings you a sense of peace, quiet and balance as we all gear up for fall once again.
Very lovely Diane. Your painting reminds me of the quite- Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~Henry David Thoreau
ReplyDeletePeace be to you too.
How true that is Karen. When we went there I just loved every minute of standing in the water as it rushed by and how peaceful and beautiful it was. It was a wonderful place to reflect while throwing the line out there and waiting. If I didn't catch anything it would have not mattered. I did however catch a beautiful trout and after taking pictures of him and I . He was placed back to go his merry way.
ReplyDeleteWith Feedburner - I find a big delay on a lot of the subscriptions I get. Don't fret - they eventually get there! And I would not rush on my web site... your blog is more vibrant, more 'in the moment' and available! I like what Karen said, too... :) BEautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelley, I have been fixing it as I write and it is coming along. I know I have to be able to do all this myself and I have to say that tech help from FASO has been fabulous. Wishing you the best with your upcoming show.
ReplyDeleteI love this Diane. It reminds me of the wonderful streams and the fly fishing my husband did when we lived in the mountains of NC.
ReplyDeleteDiane, when I think of you, the first thing that comes to mind is when at the Atlanta workshop, you crept upstairs where I was trying to take a nap after being so sick, and put a coat on me to keep me warm. Your kind gesture has stuck in my mind. However, the greatest thing since then is finding out that you too are a believer!
Thanks Cissy, Well they say the mind goes first, sorry to say I don't remember putting a coat on you but I do remember you being sick.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have been a believer for 16 years now and my life has been forever changed. I am so grateful to have Jesus in my life.
Diane, I was just welcomed back to your blog. I never resigned so I don't know what that's all about. Love this painting and I must share this with you. I have been invited to participate in a happening called "Cast for Recovery". This is put on by a national breast cancer group and as a fifteen year survivor, I was selected to participate. Am excited as this will be a new experience for me.
ReplyDeleteDiane! This is probably one of my favorites of yours! Its lovely.Not a word I use very often, but it is, its absolutely lovely! The colors are fabulous and very rich. I love it. Well Done!
ReplyDeleteJerry ,that is great.You are an inspiration to all of us.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruthie and Jerry for you encouraging words. This is one of my favorite paintings and I am thrilled to be able to share it with you all.
Diane...a great piece today. I just love the pop of his red sleeve and the colors in his vest. Have a blessed week!
