FAN FARE

 Jack just completed this mixed media painting (marker, gouache, ink and pencil) for a fan in South Dakota who wanted his folk's salvage business remembered along with his first car and his hometown of Webster, SD. Nowadays there isn't a car Jack hasn't drawn at some point or has photo scrap. And of course there's the Internet to help with finding hometown water towers! So we had a couple of days of motor noises emanating from the studio. The fan/customer is hoping to commission yet another painting this fall. 

Meanwhile the volunteer morning glories are taking over the greenhouse. I used a few clothespins originally to hold the first vine on to the shade cloth on the roof. Since then many more have joined it! If we have a strong fall storm at some point, I'm sure the whole thing will come down but since I don't need to close the door yet, I'm enjoying the effect! I just have to watch out for the bees buzzing about those purple blooms.
