I'm itching to paint again, Lynnie. I think all this talk about it is making me want to. Then when I saw that easel...it was like a sign

One of my last paintings was of the former home of Jackie Kennedy, Hammersmith Farm in Newport, RI. I took the photo while visiting and started to paint it. I have always wanted to finish my Veranda Lady. I called it that because it was a view of the veranda and I was going to stick me in the painting on the veranda. I haven't painted since I've been married. My work is all signed in my old name. There's a big box under the tree, but I can't get to it to shake it. It has too many things on top of it.
