Where have I been this week? Lake Anna State Park with the rest of the DCR VSP Natural Resource Management section, helping clear trails from the various ice/wind/snow storms that ravaged the Park the last few weeks. Chainsaws, polesaws, Bobcats, and just plain old dragging stuff off the trail were the tools of our trade. The trails at Lake Anna should be open to the public again just in time for a race this weekend! Also a few photos of other neat things I saw while working there. My outfit is by Carhartt, Elvex, and Stihl. Featuring special guest Clementine, the Kubota UTV. More art soon, when I'm done sleeping for awhile!! #ilovevirginiastateparks #virginiastateparks #vadcr #workoutside #carhartt #stihl #elvex #kubota #orangeandgreen #myfavoritecolors #safetyisalsomyfavoritecolor #notabird #notart #naturalresourcemanagement https://www.instagram.com/p/CZhqR5GOWYJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pumpkin patch is in the sale now, and there’s just one! It’s a really lovely blend of merino and nylon, not my usual base though. This has a higher twist, so will have super stitch definition! Less than £10 (+p&p) 😊 #yarn #sockyarn #sockknittersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #knittersgonnaknit #knittersoftheworld #knittersofig #igknitters #igcrochet #crochetersofinstagram #crochetgram #handdyedyarn #indiedyedyarn #etsyyarnseller #etsyyarnsale #etsysale #discountyarn #stashenhancement #knittersgonnaknit #ifisitsiknits #knitknitknit #knitallthethings #iloveknitting #ilovecrochet #iloveyarn #orangeandgreen #linkinbio

My Grandfather and His Brother on His Wedding Day. Painted 1994.

I painted this back in 1994, from a sepia tone photograph from my Grandparents wedding in the late 40's. It has long been one of my favorite works. Not only due to the subject, but really the way it came about. (First impressions have taken on a life of their own - many people think since two men are represented it must be of a gay wedding. Ironic? Timely? Whatever. I think my grandfather is very proud of his gay grandson.)

Regardless, I've rarely had a painting come through so effortlessly, without a hint of struggle, especially with such a distinctive color palette and more abstract representation of the figure. This one just flowed. I still remember painting it, and I can't recall stopping to think about any of it. It just happened. I think it took a day and a half to complete.

Since I had it digitally scanned a couple of weeks ago, I've looked at it much closer, and I'm even more curious about it.

My Grandfather was able to see a picture of the painting before he passed, and apparently remembered this moment in his life very well. Even though I didn't get to spend much time with him, he lived in Massachusetts and I in Minneapolis, I get the feeling it represents the way he looked at his life.
