Sunrise..time to get to work.
Since having the luxury of time on North Manitou Island for ten days and being here for nearly a week, Richard and I have considered these painting trips like residencies. To be away from the other aspects of our business, the everydayness of phonecalls, mail, bills, errands, and random minutia...the mind is altered, changed, transformed. We watch the weather and read the skies not from the weather channel, but from the high bluffs just steps from our door, smell the winds change as the islands disappear, and stay awake for the northern lights. Paying attention constantly to light is a way of life for us, but in these elements and rhythms watching light and its many moods is wonderously enhanced.
