Tom, Joanne and Joe
Dinner last night was good, and sure enjoyed seeing Tom and Joanne. We had a good visit. They got here about 4:30. The time seemed to go quickly. I showed Joanne where the cats she gave me and their kitties eat and sleep. We think since the wagon has been moved in to the big shed from the garage, that I can cover over the top of the wagon and put some rugs in for them and they can have a nice warm winter house in the wagon. We looked at the artwork in the barn too, and I printed them out a photo of the Muddy Canyon Mare and Colt rock formation.
This morning Joe said the hose was frozen and it had gotten down to 27 degrees. I looked out at my flowers and they are all drooping badly. I will go out soon to check the damage and water them, if the hose is unfrozen by then.
Hurried and vacuumed. The ladies from The Barn Door, Wendy and Mary Lynn, arrived about 10:30 this morning. We looked at the artwork, and they explained that what they will be decorating is not a home but the big new bank in Pinedale and they want some artwork on the large side. Large landscapes in all seasons of Wyoming, rather than ranching or wildlife. I'm honored, excited and enthused to be considered for this project, along with Ruth and Bart, other artist friends. This afternoon I will email some photos of the things they especially liked for a meeting they are having soon with the contractor etc. Then will wait to hear if they like my work. If yes, then several large pieces will have to be done by the end of August.
On the 20th is the deadline for the submission for the Governors' Portrait Project as well, so today I was going to scan and put on CD some of the portraits I've done and send off the submission materials for that. This is the one that would total five paintings at $10,000 each if I were chosen. Both projects should be feasible timewise. I am confident I could commit to and accomplish this.
Wish me luck!
