Mrs. Fleger’s Bedroom Door, 8×10 acrylic © Michelle Basic Hendry
This is a new painting I finished this week. It is a small piece of the painted wooden door to Mrs. Fleger’s Room on the second floor of the abandoned “Twilight” House in Uffington, Muskoka. See the story here.
On September 9th, I had a wonderful article written on my McMichael adventure by Matthew Sitler in the Examiner/Banner. I also had the pleasure, yesterday, of being interviewed by Dale Peacock, outstanding writer, columnist and remarkable lady. She spent three months in Guatamala building houses and got her law degree – in her fifties! The adventure of art making has bought me across the paths of some interesting people…
Night time temperatures are cooling, the crickets are singing, and even a few trees are showing the signs of the coming Autumn. The days are getting noticeably shorter and I miss long summer nights already…

I miss the long summer nights too, having to put the lights on earlier and earlier is a pain :/

/ September 27, 2009Beautiful piece, realism that works as an abstract composition. Lines and placement remind me of a Mondrian.
