Neighbor Artist

I met a wonderful gal yesterday right here in my own neighborhood. I had just taken a picture of the entry next door, when I noticed her. I sure wish I could remember her name. I was so taken by her relaxed pose, sitting there with the sun on her face and creating something artistic. The scene was magnetic. I had to say, "Ello!" I even got so "forward" as to ask to see what she was creating. She showed me the beginnings of her piece and I was so envious! I told her so. Then, I got even more "forward" and asked if I could take her picture. This kind of intrusion just isn't done in London, but she was so inspiring that I had to share a piece of her inspiration! Not only that, she was incredibly warm and kind. As we talked, I learned that she teaches art classes and that she hopes to live in Maine one day. I can totally see her in Maine, continuously producing incredibly inspiring works of art. I also learned that we are surrounded by art classes and that I could have been taking them as I lived here, but alas, we are moving in ten days.

I hope to see her again. Who knows? Maybe I'll see her in Maine.

***She wrote me and her name is Maryclare!***
