From Kathy's Garden, Pastel on paper 6x6" |
When I was a child I came to Maine off season as well as in high season. In the winter, early spring and thanksgiving my friends and I would roam everywhere and the island felt like we owned it. Coming to Cranberry off season, (but only just) and as an adult I find that I am tempted to look for new views, from places I would usually need to ask permission to draw from.
Today I walked down to Kathy's and stood near her porch. It was hot and bright and clear, late afternoon and I chose eight colours. Again I wished I'd had another green but resisted. Donna came down to 'keep the garden alive' and at about 5pm I felt the betweenness come together and I walked home.
