Saying Goodbye

Well, after sharing my life with these three paintings for a year or so, I will be sending them off to live with their new family in Wisconsin.  Am I the only artist who forms an attachment to my paintings, who feels a bit of a loss when they sell?  That is the point of painting them in the first place, right?  To send them out into the world with the love that I've poured into creating them.   I need to paint three more very soon.

The 2016 Whatcom Artist Studio Tour was a great time to meet new people and reconnect with long-time friends of the arts.  I was so happy to be able to open my studio space and share my passion of creativity with those visitors.  Onward toward Christmas.  It is such a quick trip between summer and Christmas.
