Today is Tuesday. I’ve been at Weir Farm doing my artist residency for almost a week. Right now we are having a big storm. It seems to have come from nowhere. Yesterday was a beautiful day. Now the rain is pounding on the window pains and although it is only 11am the cloud coverage makes it seem like night.
Getting internet access has been quite the challenge. That’s why it has taken me so long to get anything up on my blog. So, forgive me, those of you who have been checking it for updates.
Because I want to have as much time to make my art as possible in my two weeks I won’t be spending a lot of time writing in this blog about my experiences on this trip but, instead, will show lots of descriptive photos. I will say that Connecticut is beautiful right now and I am enjoying this time I have to create very much. I have been having a lot of fun taking photos on the farm and in my little cottage (although I wish I were a better photographer).
In the upper left is a photo of the entrance to my bedroom at the cottage. All the interiors of the cottage are painted white except the original wooden built-ins and floor. This place seemed ripe for some surreal photographs.
The bottom photo was taken in a little hallway that connects all of the rooms including the stairs to the attic studio. I have really been enjoying the light that comes in through the cottage windows.
More photos to come…
