Winnie died in September. Her lat months were so painful for her, and all I wanted to do was to cancel everything, slow down and spend my time in her company. I'll forget or regret that time together.
And then it was October, and I needed to pick up life and reclaim it. I decided to go to Wisconsin and paint with Bob Burridge. I'll never forget that either. Bob is a talented artist and a wonderful motivator. And the place we painted I remember now as Bobette's Bay. (I felt like such a groupie that week that I dubbed us the bobettes.) As orange as it is in the painting, Wisconsin is even more like that in the fall.
Bob taught me a freedom and fun that will show up in many ways. Watch and see!
