That afternoon I did stop by! I took myself up that road, turned right at the fork, found the gallery, found Judy, hung out with her, and talked art and life for a good forty-five minutes, laughing, exchanging ideas, asking questions, exclaiming, both of us barefoot in the hot August sunshine, walking back and forth on top of several works in progress she had taped to tarps on the huge deck at Alison's place.
Judy, thank you: meeting you = a fabulous souvenir! I'm bookmarking our afternoon together.

What a lovely story and experience! When visiting new places meeting and connecting with the locals adds color and flavor! What a lovely gift. Love the title! For some reason couldn't open the link, got a "this site can't be reached":(
Meeting and hanging out with Judy was the best kind of unexpected gift!
Which link wouldn't open, Alison's or Judy's? Let me know, and thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I got Judy's link but not Alison's...what a GORGEOUS way to mark the occasion! Love this red. And always the line work.
Thanks for the link feedback; I've now changed it to a different link and it opened right up when I tested it.
Thanks for your mark-the-occasion feedback, too, Jen. Felt great to play with reds, fiddle with lines, pop in some collage.
Didn't notice the Judy link. That opens fine. Alison open now. I see it's a nice film about Allison Hill. YouTube gives problems sometimes! Love Judy's works especially Breeze!
Thanks for the introductions. I love Judy's florals :) Love your story and this sweet bookmark. So much depth!
Thanks, Sheila, appreciate the feedback re the depth.
Great fun meeting Judy. She had unstretched canvas taped to the shingles on the house exterior and to an enormous tarp on the deck. Left the canvases out in the weather 24/7 for her three-week stay. If it was wet in the morning, she'd sweep it off with a broom, and work with whatever the water might have done to her works in progress.
What a wonderful holiday you had! Love the red, bits of text peaking through and your line work. Haven't tried the links yet.....
Many sweet mental mementos from my travels with my dad : )
Thanks for your feedback re the red and bits of text peeking through.
