Painting collection

Sea Watchers Jamie Wyeth

It is past the middle of January . Time marches on and waits for no one,  I stand and watch as it blows by and in the cloud of dust are .my lost memories of just last week, what?  I haven’t painted in 2 months yet there isn’t enough hours in the day. This is Saturday and  I have been to Tai Chi  here at Ya Po Ah and the Women’s march down town. Thursday I went to a play, Wednesday  a lecture on Psilocybe mushrooms, last Monday a jazz jam. Tonight is movie night. No wonder I cannot remember anything. The storage space in my brain is full.

This building is being upgraded and work has begun. Steve and I thought it best to take my paintings, in the halls, down so they wouldn’t get damaged. They are being stored down on the 2nd floor and will be kept in storage until the building project is finished whenever?.

These are amazing times we are living in, the technical age. I spend a lot of time looking at great art on the internet. Pinterest knows exactingly what I like. I have over 2000 images of paintings I love stored on my computer. They are very inspiring and I study them for inspiration for my own paintings. I have been blessed to be in places that have galleries and museums and have bee able to see original work, especially the Wyeth clan. Nothing can explain the feelings of seeing original paintings. I saw the painting Sea Watchers by Jamie Wyeth at the Farnsworth in Rockland ME. II is a powerful painting and the energy of it can be physically felt. 

I have a small collection of other artists work. If I were wealthy I would collect paintings and have a museum for them. Below is my collection.
