I left home yesterday morning and arrived at the Pond House in Jeffersonville, VT around 5:30. If your going to the Vermont Studio Center and you have the time, spend at least one night at the Pond House! They have a beautiful Studio apt above the garage that incl. a kitchen dinning table, cable, and most importantly windos on one wall that open to a great view of the mountains.
So after a good night's sleep I got up around 10 am had breakfast (a frozen pizza in the fridge left by a previous guest), got cleaned up and watched tv and read until 12:30 when I headed to Johnson, VT and the residency.
Did a quick tour of the campus---got my room and studio set up and had a great dinner... The only downside so far is the steady rain!!! which is supposed to stick around all week. Oh well, as long as the studio doesn't leak I'm fine.
Tomorrow I plan to go to a meditation session then get to work. Chris martin is here to give his lecture and do studio visits on the 5th and 6th and I want to have some work for him to look at!
Here are a few pictures of the house we're buying in Eureka Springs, AR. It's a Victorian summer cottage built around the turn of the century. Hopefully we'll close before the next century rolls around! We are buying it from my parents who are selling to move back to Memphis. Robin and I were married in the front yard so we are very sentimentally attached to the place. It's going to make a great painting/writing retreat for us!
