Story

 I am getting home at 5:30pm leaving no Blog painting time.  I will be working on my larger painting tonight.  But I wanted to share...

A STORY:  Back in 1998 I met a wonderful new client at an outdoor show.  She was from Freehold, NJ.  Over the next 13 years she purchased 29 original paintings and prints.  I have not heard from her since 2011 but I kept her on my mailing list.  In August I was contacted by her cousin that she had passed away  and there were paintings she kindly thought I would like back...free.   Friends took 13 various pieces leaving 16.  I was told I could have them back if I came to pick them up.  So, today was my quick trip to NJ, starting with a stop at the local grocery store to pick up a small goodie bag of Lititz/Lancaster County goodies as a thank you.  Then gas, then a quick stop at a Lititz yard sale where Linda snagged 3 White Mountain Puzzles for $9.  Then off to NJ, a 2hr drive.  On the way back we called our friend Joan to meet us for a late lunch at Limoncello in Chester Springs.  We had a nice meal and a great visit.  Home to a few mini paintings I needed to frame for pickup over the weekend.  Ride my rollers indoors because it is getting dark earlier and then painting.  All that to say it was beyond kind to have paintings returned to me...
