I didn't leave the the farm till the 24th and we had lost power for most of the day. We were the lucky ones has power was restored later that evening. So many in the surrounding area are still with out going on day 5+.<br />
But the aftermath did provide opportunity for some awesome photos (some better then others)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
The exhibit was very well received Friday night with an
estimate of 300 (-/+) in a 2 hr period. That is considered a very good showing
for the 5 exhibits that opened. Bridging Waters is on the first floor of the
<a href="http://www.saintjohnartscentre.com/">SJAC</a>, in the largest room so you can’t miss it. I loved watching and listening
to people as they viewed the pieces. One young man kept coming back a number of
times, at first I thought it was for the cheese but He was always going to the
same spot and would stand for a few minutes then leave and a few minutes later
come back, I realize it wasn’t for the cheese when he didn’t pick any up. A
couple from Wales was so pleased that they recognize some of the places in
England. A lot of question about techniques – the tissue and felt were big hits
– you could see people wanting to touch it, which they could with the “Fundy
Fun”. Lots of nice complements and many were genuinely interested in the
fact that the pieces were in fibre. It’s a big room and Larry (0ffical hanger
at SJAC) set the lights so everything looked great. it was great fun and now I am
preparing a talk which I will be presenting 3 times over the next 4 weeks. If
you are <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>in Saint John drop in and see
the exhibit . My talks are on Thursday Nov 14<sup>th</sup>, 28<sup>th</sup> and
Dec 12<sup>th</sup> at 12pm ( noon).</div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Articulation, a Canadian exhibiting art group working with textiles and fibre as a fine art medium, takes traditional fiber art techniques in new and contemporary directions. Since 2004 they have organised annual study sessions to unique places in Canada, which serve to unify the resulting individual bodies of work when shown in their group exhibitions across Canada.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">A recent study of the Bay of Fundy coastline has generated a new path for</span><span style="color: #1f497d; font-size: 14pt;">A</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">rticulation leading to exhibiting internationally with another contemporary fiber arts group, Material Girls, based in London, England, who were inspired by their iconic River Thames. The resulting combined body of work, </span><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic;">ARTICULATED MATERIALS: BRIDGING WATERS,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">consists of one 2D artwork each from ten Material Girls members and ten Articulation members. In addition, each group will have available more works to include in the exhibition while it is touring their respective country.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt;">Material Girls is an exhibiting group of textile artists based on the borders of Essex and East London. The artists produce work using a diverse variety of textile disciplines from quilting and embroidery to felt making and mixed media. Formed in 2001, the group has exhibited regularly in the UK and is just beginning to venture into 'international waters'. website-</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt;"><a href="http://www.the-materialgirls.co.uk/" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: inherit;"> </a></span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 14pt; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.the-materialgirls.co.uk/" style="color: inherit; text-decoration: inherit;">www.the-materialgirls.co.uk</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">After a successful three-exhibition tour of London, UK, the work has arrived back in Canada and begins its cross country tour. Starting in Winnipeg it will be hung in time for the National Embroiderers’ Association of Canada’s annual May seminar. The next stop is a gallery on Vancouver Island that looks out over another historically important body of water, the Salish Sea. The work then travels to the Bay of Fundy where it will be exhibited in the Saint John Arts Centre, Saint John.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; direction: ltr; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 11pt/1.5 Arial; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This exhibition will offer unique perspectives on both bodies of water encapsulating the local geological, environmental and social histories. In both groups there are members who have grown up living beside their waterway, while other members have responded as first time visitors to the shoreline. Articulation’s work reflects the experiences of seeing rapidly eroding fossil bearing cliffs, walking on the ocean floor and viewing the history of European settlement through distinctive architecture. Material Girls’ work explores memories of watching rowers competing, locks operating and days spent on the river’s beaches. It will remain for the viewer to make transAtlantic connections between places and people with long, interwoven histories.</span></div>

closed very unexpectedly – My Father passed away on July 02 2013. He had a
terminal cancer that was not detected until it was to late and due to his age,
he would have been 88 in December this year, there was nothing that could be
done except to make him comfortable and let him go with dignity and respect. He
died the way he lived his life, on his terms. Father was a very smart individual,
a hard worker right up to the end. He was self taught in many of his skills
including learning to use and later repair computers. He was intrigued with the
digital world and kept up with all the latest news about it. He was in his mid
70’s when he took up furniture making, using wood from his own wood lot which he worked
in till his early 80s, and my siblings and I have a number of his creations
that were made in his favorite wood, oak. I think he accepted my oddities of preferring
maple because I am the middle child. Wood working brought out his creative side
and we had many chats about the design process. Miss him.......</span><br />

<br /></div>
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Dear
ReBecca,</span><br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Being largely self-employed, we artists don't have the problems of
group stubbornness or committee incompetence. In gratitude and joy we make our
private mistakes in an atmosphere of personal reflection, even in the face of
self-doubt. Artists are pretty well masters of their own rise or demise. For
artists, all attempts to improve standards are of interest. For those among us
who might be thinking of New Year's resolutions, here are a few thoughts:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">People don't always do what they tell themselves to do, even when
they know it's best for them. We all have a contrarian within us--like a mole
in the lawn. The stubborn little guy gnaws away at the grass from its roots and
makes a mess of the place. In other words, keep an eye out for resolutions that
your inner mole may thwart.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Beware of reaping the opposite of what you intended. Funny thing
about human nature, people who set out to get wealthy often find themselves
systematically getting poorer. Oddly, others who set their sights on joy can
surprise themselves with wealth. Similarly, folks who seek truth can find
themselves tangled up in webs of falsehood. Play it as we may, within all of us
lies the potential for sloth, ignorance, stupidity, hubris and pride.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">If you do set goals set short, achievable ones and give yourself a
star when you complete. The short-goal habit is key to larger success and is at
the root of human greatness. Life is think and do, think and do, think and do.
Small steps can be greater than great leaps.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Risk-taking for artists is not like skydiving or catapulting over
parked cars on a Ducati. Risk in art is experimentation. There is no sorrow in
self-driven experimentation. If it doesn't work, so what? We try again.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">No matter what your calling, no matter what your profession, the coming
year will bring new challenges. While we are in difficult times, change is in
the air and green shoots are poking through. As self-governing entities,
artists have a profound interest in change. Embracing change, we embrace growth
and we embrace our future. We grow into our jobs. The head governs, the heart
assists, the body acts.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Best regards,</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">

<br />
<div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia","serif";">Esoterica: To live, to grow, to take risks, we need to understand
ourselves and our spiritual nature. We need to be our own spark and know well
of our high calling. As artists, we need to cherish art's democratic nature and
hold dear its nobility for all peoples. If you include music, theatre and
literature, art is probably the most civilizing thing we'll ever do. With an
honest prejudice for quality above all, we artists, among others, are going to
have to be above ourselves. It's my sincere wish that your New Year be filled
with gratitude and joy. </span></div>

One never needs to look far for inspriation - We were at the farm cleaning up after the snowstorm that went threw on Sunday, the second one in 4 days. What I thought was amazing about this picture is the differnt blues I can see and then there is just a small shot of bright yellow that really does stand out in the right light.<br />

<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Two artists</strong> <br /><b class="date">November 2, 2012</b>
<br /><br />Dear Artist, <br /><br />Because this is a bit personal, I'm not using their
real names. They're both about 40 years old. <br /><br />"Jack" got a BFA and then
an MFA from a Midwestern University. He's visited many of the major contemporary
art museums and follows the work of several "important" contemporary painters.
He's written articles on Philip Guston and others. He subscribes to several art
magazines and is "the most knowledgeable art-guy in any discussion." After
university he worked for a while in a commercial art gallery. He sometimes
writes me long, well-informed letters. He's painted eleven large paintings (two
unfinished) since leaving school. He's not represented by any gallery. He thinks
you need to move to New York and "get lucky" with a dealer who "really
represents you." <br /><br />"Jill" took two years of art school and then quit. She
pays little attention to other artists. She subscribes to no art magazines but
has taken several workshops. Her hobbies include bowling and travelling. At one
time she also worked in a commercial art gallery. On two or three occasions
she's written to me. She's painted "approximately two thousand paintings" since
leaving school. She's represented by four commercial galleries in four,
well-separated mid-sized cities. <br /><br />There's a great story in David Bayles
and Ted Orland's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0961454733/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0961454733&linkCode=as2&tag=thepainteskey-20" target="_blank">Art and Fear</a> . Here it is: <br /><br />"The ceramics teacher
announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All
those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the
"quantity" of the work they produced, all those on the right solely on its
"quality." His procedure was simple: On the final day of class he would bring in
his bathroom scales and weigh the work in the "quantity" group: fifty pounds of
pots rated an "A", forty pounds a "B" and so on. Those being graded on
"quality," however, needed to produce only one pot--albeit a perfect one--to get
an "A". Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of the
highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It
seems that while the "quantity" group was busy turning out piles of work--and
learning from their mistakes--the "quality" group had sat theorizing about
perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than
grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay." <br /><br />Best regards,
<br /><br />Robert <br /><br />PS: "Artists get better by sharpening their skills or by
acquiring new ones; they get better by learning to work, and by learning from
their work." (<a href="http://quote.robertgenn.com/auth_search.php?name=David Bayles and Ted Orland" title="Art Quotes by David Bayles and Ted Orland">David
Bayles and Ted Orland</a>) <br /><br />Esoterica: Both subscribers Jack and Jill are
thoughtful and enthusiastic artists. Art is central to their lives. And while
success and "being able to function as a full time artist" may not be important
to some of us, their current situations are quite different. Jack rents an
apartment and makes $2150 per month (plus tips and benefits) as an airport
porter. Jill works daily in her converted garage in a home she now owns. These
days she's averaging $18,000 per month. She has "no benefits."

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It has been some time since I have painted anything and so
this morning I decided to start warming up for the Art for Air fundraiser that
is being hosted by the Sussex Artist Co-op. All art work for this event will be
8"x8'x1 1/2" and can be of any medium and any subject. The proceeds
will be donated to the local Fire Department and the purchase of a tree or 2 to
replace the ones lost in a recent fire down town. Sunflowers are a favorite of
mine. I like flowers and I love the freedom of the layering that I did on
this piece. I haven't given up fabric but painting has help in the mixing of
colours and deciding techniques for a piece I have on the design board now. </span></div>

Just down the road from the farm our neighbour has sheep -good for photo op- but they wouldn't pose.<br />

There always seems to be something to distract me from the studio. I have
been busy in my little space but the farm continues to call. I wasn't planning
on gardening but after 6 hours of cutting grass one day I wanted something more
productive. I didn't think it out.... I am now spending 3+ hours a day in this
sand box and it will continue to be so for the next 3 months or more.<br />

After 6 hours out side it didn't look to bad. And I had a beautiful view to look at all day which has sparked some ideas for future work.<br />
