| "Nothing Lasts Forever" |
Earlier this year I posted a painting of an old barn that I painted in Door County last May. I mentioned that the owner stopped by while I was painting, and said I may be the last person to paint this old barn because they were waiting for better weather to replace the roof with a new metal roof! With that in mind, I asked all my readers to suggest a title for the old barn. I got several suggestions, but my friend Sue, from Las Vegas, suggested the title, "Nothing Lasts Forever".
I told her I thought she "nailed it".
This fall, while we were driving on Hwy 57 near Jacksonport, we saw the "new" barn. It is obviously an improvement from a functional standpoint, but for an artist, it lost its unique appeal as an interesting subject. I doubt that it will be an favorite subject for the Plein air painters in Door County!

It is always a little scary to sign up to do a Fall art show in Door County. I have done shows in all types of weather from 30 degrees to 80+. This year luck was on my side for the "Town Line Art show at Fine Line Design Gallery. The weather was in the high 70's and it brought many visitors for the 3-day Columbus Day weekend. The next weekend was Fall Fest in Sister Bay. Temperature was in the 40's and there were 40 mph winds for the vendors to deal with. I decided not to do that show and, for once, made the right decision! What s difference a week makes!
