Red Mud
5x7 watercolor sketch
We're off for a few days to see some art and soak in the beauty of Maine. I'm bringing my watercolors and sketching stuff and Don is bringing some books. I don't want to miss the Connie Hayes show at Dowling Walsh Gallery and of course, visit the fabulous Farnsworth Museum home of the Wyeths. This little sketch is of a scene in Pictou, Nova Scotia. Love the red mud!

We didn't realize how much we needed this vacation but it's been a beautiful week! We packed up the car and the cats and took off Sunday morning arriving in Parrsboro around 7:30 PM in a hard rain. I awoke Monday morning to the sound of pouring rain outside my window which meant..... sleep some more ;) Needed that. We read all day while we listened to the rain and watched the tide come in. Bliss.
Tuesday dawned clear and sunny and the weather has been great every day since. Yesterday, we drove from Parrsboro up through Pugwash and along the Northumberland shore to Pictou and back down through Truro and home again. 238 miles. As always, Don has to stop or turn around or back up so I can take yet, another picture, which he cheerfully does. He now brings his book with him to pass the time. I plan to paint tomorrow and post something by Saturday.
We're heading home Sunday, relaxed and refreshed and ready to work.
