yesterday evening mikela and i had dinner on our deck shortly after the afternoon thunderstorms ended
rain from a thunderstorm beating against my north studio windows at about 2:45 pm
3:09 PM: thunderstorms started about an hour ago and will continue on and off until about 9pm. it’s looking like there may be a window for our scheduled jour fixe deck dinner at 5 for about an hour and a half before more storms kick in.
the temperature has dropped from a high of 80F to 58.3, which is the current temperature. so if we do go ahead with our scheduled deck dinner, we may have to wear jackets. on the other hand, if the sun is out, it will warm up and there will likely be a rainbow.
ABOVE is what it looked like yesterday early evening when mikela and i had dinner on our deck.
paintings outside my studio, ready to load and drive to carbondale yesterday morning
7:59 PM: yesterday morning we loaded all the paintings and watercolors into our suv and drove an hour and a half to buena vista where we were met by brian, director of carbondale arts. he had driven his suv over from carbondale to meet us half way. so we transferred everything, gave him my 9 prinouts for the gallery walls and a plan for where each of the paintings could be hung, and each drove back. it felt really good to get that done, and now there are only a few logistics remaining before we drive up on friday for the opening and my talk.
