Thirteen years. Thirteen years of a one week shared time to create, to walk and look, to listen, to laugh, to cry, to laugh and laugh, and swim and dine and dance... to create. Our first island was Great Spruce Head, summer home of the Porter family--Fairfield, Eliot. It was like living in a museum, everything the same, dragons wrapped around the living room ceiling, purple glass lamps on the end tables, bordered by ochre walls. Magical. People at the tennis court spoke to Jennifer. Fireflies danced for Cheryle. Every year since, every island, has had its magic. It might not happen while we are even there, but in the days, weeks that follow. That salt air, the time up late, up early, sun rises, sun sets, surf sounds, bird calls, and mostly, that creative energy gathered from friends that have become more than friends. Because of all you've shared.
When Parker sailed to pick me up at Isle Au Haut this year after 10 days painting, the other campers sent out a flurry of emails. When we had cel coverage, I gleaned that a few of them were going to keep the energy alive by drawing--a drawing or sketch each day. lt sounded wonderful but there was a problem. I was on our sailboat for 6 days and had sent my sketchbook home with my other art supplies by mistake. BUT, I did have my ipad! I had dabbled with an "app" called brushes because I had read about it a couple years ago--David Hockney was having a show of his ipad drawings!
So it has begun, "The ipad paintings of LHadlock". I'm possessed. Just ask my husband, my son. If I wake at 4 in the morning, great! I can work on my ipad painting! It's also possible to do on my iphone. What can I say, but I am so excited.
I am currently working on finding a source for fine art prints so they will be available to you. Soon.
Any thoughts or questions or smiles will make me happy.
