I had passed up on a tall dresser at the Newark Marshall's last week and when I went to get it it was gone. Even tho I have a studio upstairs and a room with the computer, I find myself wanting to work in the breakfast room which has a lot of light as it has windows on three sides. So I needed something for storing things so they didnt stay on the table.
I was out and about today and I stopped at the Marshall's in Wilmington just to see what they had and I found this dresser that had larger drawers and was cheaper. I didnt care that it was black (I can always paint it) and the drawers are made of canvas -- what better for an artist to paint?
As I stood in line at the check out, several of the people in line commented on it. I generally am not that impulsive and I had driven the Beetle today, so I wasnt sure I was going to get it home.
BTW, that is my friend Margaret Hearden's painting on top. She does wonderful paintings of fruit. This is of peaches. She uses the paper wrappers from real peaches and paints on gallery wrap canvas. Her work can be found at Blue Dolpin House in Door County Wis.
Other interesting things happened today. Will post about them later.
PSS. Just a note. Brett Favre isnt going to retire. At least 8 articles on today's Green Bay Press Gazette online. None on Philly.com. I am a little saddened by that. But then I also am glad not to have Packer news constantly lead the local tv news. Much easier to be a Packer fan out of state as it isnt in your face all the time. Plus I am learning to look at the colors green & gold in a whole new light. :-)
