Hike last night was so beautiful it seemed like I was walking in a dream. The hills were covered in yellow–Oregon grape flowers and balsam root. We picnicked on a large rock island in the lake.
Painted all day. Yes, I took advantage of my dear daughter Tabitha who was home sick with a bad cold: I had her entertain Pip in the morning so I could paint.
Watched “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”–well done.Will have a giant party in August to show all my portraits–use my house as a gallery.Black Tie, so I can wear a floor length gown of course.

Melissa – looking at this painting and i had a reckoning/premonition: this painting in a gallery, lots of people, high art. Melissa with this painting you have finally, fully come into yourself. It is amazing.
