A Bigger, Better Me!!!

Here I sit on my little mountain top in the Caribbean with a whole new world opened before me. I have entered in to the virtual world of Second Life and having done so, allowed myself the opportunity to show my work and teach my work to a global market. My exhibitions and workshops are attended by people from around the globe! Does this blow me away? You betcha!!!!

It's an amazing adventure and I'll be using this blog to keep you posted on my activities. For those of you already wandering the worlds of Second Life (www.secondlife.com) my avatar's name is Littleone Aries. Look me up and come visit my 2 virtual galleries for an up close look at my paintings! I'll meet you there and we'll talk!

Rain Rain Go Away

Lot's more rain comin' this way. We had around 30" just a few weeks ago and now we've got another storm headed in our direction. I'm happy that I live up high but worry about mudslides. Every place we choose to live is a trade off, I guess. Californias are fighting fires, Oklahomans fight tornadoes, we fight tropical storms.... at least it's not snow!

I can remember the day I made my decision to leave upstate New York. It was an April morning, theoretically SPRINGTIME and I was trying to chop my way through a layer of ice on my car so I could get the key in to the door lock. It was still dark and I was wet and frozen with sleet and something told me that in another life, I didn't live like this. By May I was living in Key West.

Now I'm even further south and waiting for more rain. Sigh. It will be a good week to stay inside at my easel and get some work done.

All is right with the world.
