Finding the Shade

Monhegan IslandHarry T. Bone's House - Study
Thursday, July 18, 2013

Today was another great day. I awoke to fog, which lifted after a good dose of coffee. A late call last night from shore telling my host of a fallen tree due to storms (which were incredible here), had hit her house, which sent her home today, combined with a sore back. It is quite rugged here, which led to me staying close to home today. I sat in the ditch outside and painted Harry T Bone's house, where I'm staying. I was under shade all day and stayed cool, resting my sore bones from yesterday's trek.

I then walked to town and visited with folks and shot reference for later. From there nearly the whole town showed up for a lecture on Robert Henri, a great inspiration to me, both through his art and writings. I met many people who have encouraged my endeavors, which is pleasant. I have be asked where I show on the island, to which I've answered, 'I've only been here a day and a half', which I find inspiring to paint more and maybe with greater speed. Tomorrow will be a new view and a new set of rules.

Up early to get a jump on the sun.

I would love to have a print of this painting. My uncle was Harry T Bone. I have not been out to the island since I was a little girl. If you have any photographs of his home I would be interested in those too. So weird I google Harry T Bone's art show because I knew he traveled with art from a friend who had died.
