seemingly will never end with multiple variants. Evidently the pandemic will
become endemic. We continued to hunker down in New Mexico with a few trips in
our camper van to southern Colorado and Arizona as well as around the State of
New Mexico. We were fortunate to get 3
vaccinations each by late Fall and have access to drop-in the car grocery
pickups in Grants and Gallup. I was
glad that we had made some good real estate contracts in recent years as that
was our primary income these days. Painting sales,
workshops, and anything that required an in-person experience was not possible
until after the middle of the year.
Michael did manage 3 outdoor painting retreats beginning in August with
Lubec, Maine, Taos, New Mexico in October, and finally Sedona in November and he had a successful end of year holiday sale. Luckily no one in my immediate family got
Covid19, although a member of my extended family did die of the disease in
British Columbia, Canada at an advanced age.</i></span></p><div style="text-align: left;">
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><i>In early July, around the time the entire family would have
been visiting my parents in a normal year on Campobello Island, NB, my Dad
suffered a fall which caused some significant back pain for several
months. He was immediately bedridden and
survived for nearly 4 months in hospice until he faded away without pain, we believe, at the
end. It was extremely sad to lose my Dad, but family
members got to make a final visit or two during those nearly 120 days. Dad would have been 91 years old in January
2022, but as my Mom said, "we were lucky to have him as long as we
did." I also calculated that he had
over 33,000 days of life which he dearly loved, and almost all of it was
wonderful, which gives me solace these days.</i></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><i>We hope next year will be a little more "normal"
and we can make the trip to Campobello Island, New Brunswick with my Mother
after we have a family memorial service for my Dad in Vermont on land my
parents still own at his "cabin" which he built with a friend.</i></span></p></div><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><i><br /></i></span></p><p><br /></p>artistinthewildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02012186272689729749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442009507594895285.post-91692678321973742122020-12-19T16:27:00.002-04:002020-12-19T19:03:04.151-04:00Grateful End of Year Thoughts 20202020 will be remembered as the year of the first global pandemic in our
lifetimes, and 102 years since the last pandemic which Michael's Grandfather
experienced as a young physician. This has been a year to try to forget in some
ways, but there are always valuable life lessons to be gained. I have learned to
be extremely grateful for my continuing good health, my adequate financial
situation, and for my comfortable home. I always feel grateful for my good fortune, but this year it
is especially poignant to think these thoughts of gratitude. <P>
Reading over my past several year's end of year thoughts, I discovered that we did achieve one of our life
goals. In fact, the pandemic probably led us to make a decision quicker and more
forcefully than we might have otherwise. This was the desire to purchase a camping
vehicle as our aging bodies do not sleep as well in a tent as in past years. So in
May when it was obvious that our annual summer residence in Canada was not going
to be possible, we began searching harder for a camping van. We had a fairly low
budget and desired to find something in the state of New Mexico if possible so we would not have
to travel far to view due to Covid19. We found an option in Santa Fe, one in
Taos and one in Silver City, New Mexico. The one in Silver City was our choice.
It is a Canadian made class B Pleasure-Way that is now 21 years old and has over
100,000 miles, but it was meticulously maintained and everything worked when we
bought it which was very nice. We have enjoyed overnight stays in our local
National Forest, State Parks, and one longer trip just over the border into
Colorado in Pagosa Springs when the pandemic seemed to be getting under control
somewhat in August. We call her Wilma the Van.

The day we made our van purchase! We bought it from a wonderful couple in Silver
City and they took this photo right after we handed them the check! <P>
Michael lost all his income from workshop teaching which had been a primary source of income
for 15 years, but he got a contract to write a book in the next year so that was
a great development. Also, all my family members and friends have gotten through
their unrelated hospital stays without getting sick from Covid19 which was a
relief. Ironically, this was the year that 3 of 4 of our parent's had to be
hospitalized for the first time in my memory and the 4th parent was diagnosed
with Alzheimer's, but she is in the very, very early stages and is 89 so it is
not as much of a tragedy as it could be. <P>

It was a year of change when we sold a house, got a new rez rescue dog, dealt with problems facing our elderly parents, and began the gradual slowing down of our work lives. We also took our first overseas vacation together and spent several glorious weeks in Scotland where we had excellent weather. All in all a memorable year with several retreats: Abiqui/Santa Fe, Brown County, Indiana, Lubec, Maine and wonderful workshops in Sedona, AZ, Grand Canyon, Cincinatti, Columbus, and other locations where we met new and old friends. At the very end of the year we settled into our home in New Mexico, where we discovered the joys of fencing by putting in 300 feet of new fencing and 17 new posts into sandstone rich ground!<br />

Michael and I had a very busy year which was very happy with the exception of losing our best friend Saba after 17 years on April 10th. Michael and I are still in the depths of our grief for her, but are rebuilding our habits in our new home in Ramah, NM and also printing out some of the over 1500 photographs of her life we documented which were all happy times! There are several feral cats living on our property which I am now feeding so I am not entirely without "pets". We have a pact, I feed them, and they keep the mice and pack rats away!<br />
<br />
I have taken lots of photos this year, but done far fewer kaleidoscopes and seem to be moving back into quilting and incorporating cold wax medium into paintings along with photographs. Michael and I are experimenting together in his studio which is great fun. Come visit us at the new location of <a href="http://paintthesouthwest.com/" target="_blank">Pumphouse Studio Gallery</a> or take a workshop with Michael through his new <a href="http://paintthesouthwest.com/" target="_blank">Paint the Southwest</a> mentorship program or a regular workshop.<br />
<br />
We just got back from Santa Fe where we saw several interesting artists work. It was an interesting trip as I fell and passed out right at the end of Canyon Road on some loose gravel. I was paying too much attention to the art and not enough to the ground. After warning my 87 year old dad to be careful not to fall when walking, he had some advice for me!<br />
<br />
Michael and I had memorable trips to Zion and Capitol Reef National Parks and Chiricahua National Monument. We also paid Tucson and Sedona a visit in the Fall while Michael taught workshops. I did not get to Bear's Ears National Monument which I had hoped to before it was reduced in size and scope. We also had a wonderful week in the early fall in Nova Scotia and, of course, a nice Spring of 2017 in Sedona, Arizona before the move in April and a wonderful summer in Lubec, Maine and Campobello Island, NB.<br />
<br />
We feel grateful that all of our parents are alive and quite healthy for their ages as they enter and surpass the beginning of their 9th decades. They are our models for dealing with the aches and pains of being an elder. Both our dads stubbornly do a lot of gardening despite balance and strength issues, while our mothers drive and do the household chores and even volunteer at various non profits. We hope we are so lucky, but we do both have some good old age genes going back centuries. I am still going quite a bit of genealogy and learning much about the world's history in the process.<br />

<br />
I have been working the plan which is to move to a CHEAP fully paid for house in a beautiful place(done) and sell all other real estate investments with long term owner financing. I am happy to say that we have one house sale to go and one piece of land remaining and I am working diligently on finding the right buyer for those as well! This will take the pressure off Michael to make a full-time living as an artist and allow us to do some budget travel! We hope a used truck camper is in our future...<br />
<br />
In the meantime, Michael teaches weekly and I maintain houses and deal with the minutiae of daily life among the self-employed! Michael is still writing articles and doing a lot of painting, but his focus lately has been more to challenge himself rather than to make a painting to sell and I love the results. I even commissioned him to paint something which had personal meaning and he did a great job!<br />
<br />
We have closed both galleries to concentrate more on online sales and reduce the time just hanging out in case someone came by to be more productive. We are open by appointment wherever we are at the moment. Follow Michael's blog to know where we are... <a href="http://mchesleyjohnson.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Plein Air Painterman's Blog</a>.<br />

Next up will be lilacs and finally lupines in mid June to complete our Spring bloom here on the Island. The Eagle Hill Bog is abounding in beautiful blooms right now just calling for photographs made into kaleidoscopes.<br />

We hope to slow down when we get settled in a new location this Fall. The new location is near an old location for us which we are excited about returning to after 15 plus years. Hint is the state's name has Mexico in it, but it is one of the 50! We left a different area of the state around 11 years ago and although we cannot afford to be near the "city different" which is an art capital of the US as well as a governmental capital, we will be in a beautiful area with lots of native americans living nearby. I expect to be grocery shopping in a native american pueblo as that will be the closest grocery store by many miles. Multiculturalism at its finest is found in this state and tolerance is part of the culture.</div>

It will run through April 4th in the Special Exhibition Gallery at the Sedona Arts Center. This is the Gallery in the original Apple Barn Building below Main Street where the Pottery Workshop, Larger Classroom and Arts Center Administrative Offices are located. Open Daily 10-5. We will be there for 4 shifts and the other artist will also be manning the Gallery for 3-4 shifts during the period. It is called the Spring Celebration of the Renegade Artists at the Sedona Arts Center. I am sharing a wall with Michael Chesley Johnson and I picked out the 9 pieces I will showing today. Prices $100-200 so an affordable gift for yourself or others. These are metal prints or framed prints on paper.<br />
<br />
My largest one is called "Monumental Valley", 24" by 24" with 9 kaleidoscopes on a hand painted board. It is based on a recent trip with the Sedona Camera Club to Monument Valley on the Arizona/Utah state line.<br />

It is only until the end of January and is part of the larger Make 100 Program.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1622641529/make-100-kaleidoscopes-from-nature?">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1622641529/make-100-kaleidoscopes-from-nature?</a><br />
<br />
Artists need patrons and patrons need the artists to create art...<br />
<br />
I will be creating lots of new kaleidoscopic images for this project. Stay tuned. If you are not familiar with kickstarter, it is an all or nothing crowd funding campaign. In other words, if I do not meet my $500 minimum funding level, the project does not get funded so help me achieve my goal please!<br />

We have had quite a few days of rain so the creeks and rivers have risen. This morning I took a picture of ducks in a tree above Oak Creek who are probably confused as to why the placid creek has become a torrent of muddy water and fast moving logs and other debris!<br />

In our community we have two creeks, Oak and Spring Creeks which went way beyond their banks in the past few days. Our hiking trails are flooded and even walking bridges have been relocated by the powerful rushing rivers! It is a good reminder of how powerful water can be.</div>

The following series were created from photos taken this morning. Happy Holidays to All! There is a surprising amount of color in nature for such a dreary rainy day. Red or pinkish soils, brown water, green grasses, and many other colors shine through the kaleidoscopes!</div>

It has been really nice this late summer season with just a hint of the coming season. As usual, this is the season for mushrooms and spider webs and the hint of Fall color. However, in this area, the leaves are not that spectacular as compared with other New England areas I have lived in partly because of all the evergreen like spruces, but also the few maples do not blaze with color. The most colorful thing is the berries on the ash trees!<br />
<br />
I believe it is because the night time temperatures are moderated by the ocean breezes so the leaves do not have to go out in short blaze of color, but have an extended dying off period. The first frost happens usually in October on Campobello Island which is really late for the 45th parallel! Our garden is just beginning to bear some green beans!<br />
<br />
I will post a few spiderweb kaleidoscopes for my last one of my summer season here in Lubec, Maine and Campobello Island, NB. There is an international border between the towns here, but it feels like one town as the services and amenities complement each other and we own property in both! I make my escape to another country nearly every day!<br />
<br />
It is not too early to begin thinking about summer 2017! We are taking reservations for our artists retreat <a href="http://artistsretreatmaine.com/" target="_blank">vacation rental </a>in Lubec, Maine for summer 2017 now. <br />

The day lilies and sunflowers have pretty much ended their summer bloom, and we are being treated to a good mushroom season. It is now a season of changing leaves, heavy morning dew, extravagant spider webs, fog and fading vegetation and one of my favorite seasons. <br />

When the spectacle of Fall is nearly over, we begin our trek south and west to Arizona stopping briefly in Wilmington, NC so Michael can teach a workshop, in Georgia so Michael can celebrate a decade birthday with his family, then briefly to NM and then on to AZ where Michael begins the Sedona Plein Air Festival less than 24 hours after we arrive. It will be a very busy October!</div>

This is not my favorite time of year as I enjoy Spring and Fall much more, but there are beautiful colorful blooms in my garden now. Especially hydrangeas, daylillies, hostas, astilbe, and fireweed. An amazing range of color in these kaleidoscopes! I also caught some beautiful evening light on some of the Lubec Landmark buildings the other evening so I will do kaleidoscopes of some buildings which sit in the tidal waters as well for this posting.<br />

The flowers blooming change weekly within the framework that our lives are always changing. Our 16 year old dog is beginning to age, with reduced vision, hearing and some loss of mobility, but she stays cheerful and willing to try to do anything we suggest. We do not plan to replace her, nor could we if we wished, so we are trying to spend significant time with her this summer.<br />
<br />
We have 2 historic houses up for sale, one in Lubec <a href="http://artistsretreatmaine.com/" target="_blank">Lubec Home for Sale</a> and one on Campobello Island <a href="http://campobellohome.com/" target="_blank">Campobello Island home for sale</a>, and hope to be moving into my parent's barn by the end of the summer. (Both have sold) If all goes well, we will have seasonal studios in the barn and no retail studios next year so we can just work on our projects. As Michael moves toward retirement without a pension or any serious savings, we will be downsizing our lives to the bare bones and he will be reducing his teaching schedule after the next 2 years. The first step is the move to the barn which belongs to my parents, then we may at some point go to living in a vehicle like a small rv which would still allow us to do some travelling which is a major interest of mine and something I hope to do in the future!<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, July 16, 2016 and next Saturday July 23, 2016 we will be participating in a studio tour in Lubec, Maine. Come see us: http://www.artsipelago.net/studio-tour/<br />

The founder of the Art Center recently passed away so we are missing her cheerful presence. When we were in Santa Fe I took lots of photos so it is time for some new kaleidoscopes. However, before I do the Santa Fe pictures, I am doing a few of the flowers and architecture I saw in Indiana and Illinois.<br />

We live on the Bay of Fundy 6 months of the year on Campoobello Island, NB near Lubec, Maine and 6 months in the desert/riparian Verde Valley Cornville, Arizona area near the Red Rocks of Sedona. Michael paints and teaches in both places and without moving with the seasons to teach we would not make a living as artists so it is both necessary and enjoyable which is an uncommon combination. This week we are packing up to begin the migration East and North. We both hate hot weather so it is not coming too soon this year as we have had amazingly warm temperatures since early January. In fact, we barely used the heat in our home all winter. Of course it helps that we like it 58 degrees inside! The thing I find hardest to leave is the landscape and my gardens. So I took a few picturew this week to remind me that this is one of the best Springs of my gardening life. We had jonny jump ups blooming all winter, only a little frost damage on my agaves, and my giant alium bulbs and my iris's are blooming or getting ready to bloom. Also cholla cactuses and other cactuses are getting ready to bloom as well. We have had wildflowers nearly all winter... We stayed one week longer and with the early Spring and the extra days I am seeing lots more vegetation blooming than usual. Enjoy the images below:<br />

I just returned from a 5 day photographic expedition to Moab, Utah, my first vacation in years when I had no responsibilities! Took lots of pictures of rocks, trees, amazing geological features like arches and spires, rock climbers, petroglyphs and even a pretty waterfall. I have 1,300 plus photos to sort through, and obviously a few kaleidoscopes will be made!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime I took a hike in Sedona while Michael was trying out a new easel and I spotted lots of wildflowers blooming in Sedona. Verbena, black footed daisies, indian paintbrush, basin bladderpod, london rocket and others. The best source of information about the plants, trees and flowers of the Verde Valley is this web site: http://www.naturesongs.com/vvplants/, I believe. I know what these flowering plants are, do you!</div>

Actually Spring doesn't officially come for another month, but the bulbs are blooming and the willows, lilacs and fruit trees are flowering and leafing out!<br />
<br />
Here are a few beauties from my garden photographed on February 22nd, 2016! They do say that March, April, and May 2016 will be wetter because of the El Nino which usually also means cooler weather. I expect there will be a snowstorm in Colorado when we pass though in early May. We have been sleeping with the windows open for weeks now, how weird!<br />

We have spent quite a few years as seasonal residents of Red Rock Country and the Verde Valley where we enjoy a mild winter and beautiful natural areas. However, the past few years have seen an upsetting increased amount of jeeps, air traffic like helicopters, fast out of control mountain bikers, and ATV's in our national forest making it much more difficult to enjoy as hikers. <br /><br />Yesterday we treated ourselves to an expensive hike in <a href="http://azstateparks.com/Parks/RERO/">Red Rock State Park</a>. It now costs $14 to enter each time for 2 people($7 per person as of January 1, 2016). This is supposed to be the "environmental park" in the area for wildlife and no dogs or motorized vehicles are allowed past the environmental center. <br /><br />From the web site it states that "The mission of the park is to preserve the riparian habitat associated with Oak Creek; to serve as an environmental education facility; and to provide limited passive recreational opportunities, including birdwatching...." We were totally horrified to see what had happened to the park in the past year. There were quite a few places where people had definitely been making their own trails and there was horrible graffiti on some of the most beautiful sycamore trees done with a knife or in one case a pencil. The graffiti was dated '15 just to make sure we knew it was done this past year.... It made me sick and I wondered who would come into a park and deface trees like that. Is this part of the selfie generation's need to make their mark on everything...? Couldn't they just take a picture of the tree and do virtual graffiti using photoshop rather than wreck the tree forever for everyone else.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Thankfully the cottonwood trees seem to be unscathed since they have bark that does not yield to graffiti as easily.</div>

Two weeks ago I published a blog based upon the Fall Colors and then winter descended!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://sedonaverdevalley.natgeotourism.com/" target="_blank">Sedona</a> has lots of green vegetation, red rocks and blue skies, but when it snows and white is added it become truly magical. We are having a cold snap and the snow will stay for a little while so I went out to capture the beauty today.<br />

In some respects you could argue, we actually enjoy Fall until Spring begins in February here in the Southwest. <br />
<br />
However, the deciduous trees like the mulberry, cottonwood, sycamores, maples and others do lose their leaves for 3-4 months so I guess that is winter even if the daytime temps are a comfy 55 degrees. Of course, the nighttime temps are in the 20's now... In fact, the leaves have been changing here for a couple of weeks and the grasses have resumed their winter colors, but there were particularly nice on Thanksgiving Day when <a href="http://www.michaelchesleyjohnson.com/" target="_blank">Michael Chesley Johnson</a> and I had a chance to take a walk on the Turkey Creek Trail.<br />

We are beginning seasonal color change here in the Canadian Maritimes. The first place it become very evident is in Eagle Hill Bog which has lots of color now. We visited on a foggy day which makes the colors glow and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larix_laricina" target="_blank">tamaracks (larches)</a> which are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deciduous" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 17.5px; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;" title="Deciduous">deciduous</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 17.5px; line-height: 28px;"> </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conifers" style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 17.5px; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;" title="Conifers">conifers</a> which seems like an oxymoron. They provided a wonderful backdrop to the scene as they were just beginning to lose their green color. I went to take pictures of spider webs with moisture drops, but was rewarded with so much more subject matter.<br />

This will be my last blog entry before the cross country trip begins. I have house painting and landscaping chores to complete now! Our houses in <a href="http://artistsretreatmaine.com/" target="_blank">Lubec, Maine</a> (128,000) and <a href="http://campobellohome.com/" target="_blank">Campobello Island, NB</a> (199,000) did not find their new owners this year, but 2016 will hopefully be the year of changes for us. We will be moving next door on Campobello Island into the BARN once the houses are sold...! If you are looking for your next great place, contact me for details...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Grow they did to over 8 feet tall before they began to flower! Finally they have flowered as are the poppies we grew from seed sewn in early June. The dahlias, white and purple asters and phlox are also very beautiful, but many of the other flowers seem to have past their prime as we begin to head into Fall here in the Maritimes and Downeast Maine.<br />
