Preview to Autumn in Tennessee


As the plane touches down amongst the blue runway lights of the Nashville airport, I start to feel those butterflies of anticipation hatching from their cocoons in my stomach. Soon I will be riding my horses, Incitatus and Bucephalus. I will be painting the cutest, most nubile and charming southern boys, and also… well, who knows what wisdom, mischief, and general good-natured mayhem will be happening over at the Haven for the equinox? And if I need to get away for peace and quiet and drawing, I have my own haven: Ladyslipper Farm (I mean, it’s Marcelito’s too, of course!). And Clover has been holding down the fort, and waiting for me, I hope. We haven’t talked since the spring…

 

 

Here is a drawing I had done of the Farm on my last trip. I donated it to my friends in Tennessee--it looks great in the frame, and I was happy to see it again.
