Sorry for the slight delay in getting back and responding to your gracious comment! I'm up to my elbows in garden dirt... and loving it! A lot of work... but just as relaxing as painting for "Me'!<br /><br />Lots of fine material to paint... as is very evident in my photo show. Lots of desire to get at it. I'll be hard at it as soon as the more essential settling in tasks are in order.<br /><br />Deb made the first sale in our new Paint Box Gallery location... and we enjoyed crowds of lookers and admirers even before we open. A great and highly encouraging omen for the future success of our new life here in Rockport!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by and for your encouragement Keith! Talk to you soon!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-15075193503226954272012-05-12T21:37:44.349-04:002012-05-12T21:37:44.349-04:00Bruce!!!

It certainly does sound perfect for you. I hadn't realised that the road at Hillsdale was a busy one, so it must be nice to have the peace and quiet.<br /><br />Those foggy St. Lawrence views sound wonderful and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make of them.<br /><br />All the best for your first Rockport summer,<br /><br />KeithKeith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-44296194451044733242012-05-10T19:06:14.340-04:002012-05-10T19:06:14.340-04:00Hi there "You!"...

I look every day:-) Your new home and area seem so welcoming and comfy and wonderful! I think you are going to have some wonderful paintings coming from this move. It is SO much work to move, I know, but soon it will all be in place and you will be blessedly settled in. I can't believe you're doing the Up the Garden Path Studio Tour already!

We share water frontage! HA HA!!!<br /><br />It is indeed uplifting and inspiring to have the tranquillity that such a location offers those fortunate to live along side a body of water!

Glad to be in touch with you again!<br /><br />Thank you for your best wishes and optimism its always much appreciated Caroline! <br /><br />The Hillsdale backward connection is purely the result of "late-comers" at our closing. Sometimes you are only really appreciated when you are absent... or in the process of leaving. In either case... it is my pleasure to "fill the bill" for those who would like one of my paintings.<br /><br />I'll be around for a much anticipated visit to your site!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-91552156066345825022012-05-10T06:16:40.972-04:002012-05-10T06:16:40.972-04:00Hi Bruce, best wishes to you and Deb in your new h...Hi Bruce, best wishes to you and Deb in your new home.
