Why continue to search or wish your self afield to exotic places... when you already dwell... in Eden... a place where your soul is now "wedded to a place that you have looked for your entire life?"<br /><br />Paint your time left away with your Bob and Doggy pals under the quilts... reading under the sweet warm light of coal oil l;amps... Need I say more! "You"... are so deeply blessed!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-27460617239148952712012-09-20T14:20:35.054-04:002012-09-20T14:20:35.054-04:00So wonderful that you are achieving the notice you...So wonderful that you are achieving the notice you deserve! I think your move to Rockport was a terrific decision for both of you! Looking at your posts and images makes me almost want to leave beautiful Vancouver Island to move back to your area:-) Somehow I think I am now permanently wedded to this place, though, as it has so much of what I have looked for all of my life, and who could ask for more?Karen Martin Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180294856179918446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-20411201316086819242012-09-15T05:50:15.357-04:002012-09-15T05:50:15.357-04:00Good morning Keith!...

These changes fuel inspiration to paint ... and to simply approach living differently!<br /><br />We have two rowan trees... called mountain ash in these parts... one of them the perch for our dominant female hummer!<br /><br />We really had a blow.... accompanied by heavy rain during our evening meal at the Plein Air Paint Out... but the day was perfect for painting otherwise... and I had a most wonderful first day!<br /><br />Stay tuned... next post will give you the drift in full!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by Keith and for your good wishes! Enjoy your own fall changes... and .... bundle up HA HA!!!<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-13654900194525545472012-09-15T05:44:02.999-04:002012-09-15T05:44:02.999-04:00Hi there John!...

I will miss their colourful faces and now must get down to preparing the beds to sleep... and to making changes in what we had to wait for last year... when all of this space was new to us.<br /><br />Glad that the post... including both words and paintings pleased you. That was my hopeful intent!<br /><br />Good Painting... and Gardening John! Thanks for dropping by and for adding your own Fall news! Fun!<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-66062194343627314652012-09-14T16:42:12.940-04:002012-09-14T16:42:12.940-04:00Hi Bruce, there are signs of change here too.

The brightly colourful garden beds are looking dull and tired and leaves will start to fall from the trees any time now. I am only weeks away from having to undertake the huge job of lifting all of my Fuchsia's, potting them and squeezing them into my greenhouse like sardines in a can. Great paintings and a lovely post bordering on the poetic at times. Nice work Bruce.<br />All the best.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-19246391972843370672012-09-12T07:44:40.669-04:002012-09-12T07:44:40.669-04:00Hi there Sherry!...

Still, so much better than the oppressive 90's and 100's we had for most of June and July.<br /><br />Enjoy your hiatus, Bruce. I know you will. Love the paintings you've shared, but I have loved your work for a long while now. Can't wait to see what you share next.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-34598495605393299512012-09-11T17:59:47.869-04:002012-09-11T17:59:47.869-04:00Hi there Lisa!...
