Hey, everyone! i hope you are all safe and warm. The storm here, up to now has produced fairly strong winds and rain...and rolling surf with 11-13 ft waves. It only rained last night and into the wee hours and then it all seemed to settle down. The Weather Channel kept reporting that it was not over and that by this evening we might get a dusting to an inch of snow...and that the winds would be rocking once again.
Looks like they are correct! I dashed out while there was a lull to grab some shots of the angry sea, dressed like an Inuit in my michelin man coat and over the knee boots and a scarf and hood. The winds were harsh to say the least and had turned ...coming out of the northwest, relentlessly. my hands were numb!
Tonight around dinner time the snow briefly came whipping by on the increasing wind, then stopped. The wind has not. It is now up around 35mph...with gusts up around 40 or 45 and the house is vibrating. I am getting used to it! It is not totally unpleasant and is no longer alarming to me!!
Off to eat my dinner...and then relax...I have more painting to do tomorrow but i think for tonight i will curl up with a good book!!!
I stopped in another gallery yesterday ...and they want my work!
to say i am stunned and over the moon happy would be understating it!! SO...i am going to be printing and framing and painting and creating my brains out for awhile as i make a concrete plan for keeping them stocked! Go me...and thank you to my friends that have been steadfastly encouraging me to take a chance at that brass ring!
Stay warm and cozy...and safe!!
