Donut War Day! And A Road Trip From Heck....

Happy Halloween!  WHEW!  I bet 'dollars to donuts' that my partner in War (Donut War that is), Susan Roden, will be shocked, SHOCKED that I managed to post today.  See... I've been on the road for a couple of days, en route to Karin Jurick's Workshop in Hilton Head, SC.
(kitties pre-missing me)
Now... if you do the *math* you'll see that I set out for my trip on the DAY of that horrible snowstorm.  In October - who'd have thought?  It was clear when I left, and I thought that having my husband drive out to Providence to meet me with a new cord for my iPod was the 'glitch' of the day...  but then I missed a turn for the 'quick route south and ended up snarled in New Rochelle, NY, and then the Bronx, for over an HOUR... and then...
It started snowing..

All through New Jersey the road signs were covered with snow and ice...

And we travelers played 'pac man' dodging trees falling from both sides of the road.  
I could take photos because often we were going at 5-15 mph.   Hence, the 12 hour trip to Maryland.  Today was another 12 hour day on the road.  I think I need a few days OFF before I dig in to the workshop!  But it is beautiful here - today's drive, was smooth sailing, and gorgeous landscapes.  I'll keep you posted.  Thanks for all the well wishes!

Little Debbie, 5x7 Inches, Oil Painting of a Little Girl

$100 & $10 S&H
I don't really know who this little girl from the 50's is.. I buy old photos at the antique stores in town.  She COULD be little Mary.  Little Cindy.  Little Linda.  Those are my best guesses.  She's probably in her 50's now!

I love old photos and have been inspired lately to try to turn them into paintings.  I want to be looser, stronger and and mindful of design.  Stay with my on my journey?

I apologize for the typos that went out on yesterday's post!  Must stop late-night posting!
Also I wanted to mention that my Blogging Workshop at North River on the 29th DOES have a charge, minimal, just $35, but I neglected to mention it.  You'd see it on the link.  You'll get a great handout (and I'm thinking of bringing some wine & cheese ... let me know your favorites :)
