This is a recently framed piece, headed to the Crane Estate Show and Sale in early November. It is the first place I sold any artwork for actually "pay myself as well as the framer" kinds of money, so I have a soft spot for it. Also since they are in Ipswich, it means they adore the beachy and marshy and ocean things I do in a way the leaf-peepers coming through Shelburne Falls don't so much. The Shelburne crowd wants landscapes, ye olde Newe Englande barns and rolling hills and leaves and snow. Which I can also accomplish.
Poor Alice is sitting on the couch swearing she would rather gargle lead than write this essay. She is talking about the lazarus story and how it speaks to the circumstances of the hero's journey in Crime and Punishment. Honestly. She sounds like an aggravated cat, making snarling and moaning noises. There is a word minimum, and like me and her sister she is good as speaking plainly and to the point. So the padding out part is as painful as the religion she doesn't partake of and the characters she hates. She had a ten minute rant on how Jesus fails as a superhero. I pointed her to Woody Allen Jesus because Tim Minchin always makes me laugh. (Don't follow that if your religion cannot be mocked, please)
I was mad energetic yesterday and seemed to be paying for it with a migraine this morning, but I also needed to see a friend for breakfast, and I had to actually make it to the Y because I am still working on rowing every weekday and since I have not yet gotten back on the water since the summer Learn to Row session ended i am trying to keep in shape somehow. And then I bumped into a woman i liked the look of an talked to her about personal training and THEN she said she had a horse, and he needs riding, and then I was happy and went home. Not like I need another horse to ride, or, in truth, any other thing to do, but. Horse. So long as he isn't a chestnut, I'll try him. At the moment I have sworn off mares, chestnuts, and Chevaux Canadien. The geriatric QH geldings are doing really well by me.
