To sleep, perchance to dream

“When I am in a painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.”

Had to chuckle. I haven't seen or thought about a Big Chief tablet in years either. I used to love putting my name on the front, so proud.
Speaking of which, we're driving to New Orleans for Christmas. My great-grandmother, about 7 when Lincoln was alive, was found by some carmalite nuns on the street. Her parents had died in the Yellow Fever epidemic. The nuns wanted to make a nun out of her. Anyway, about seven years later she escaped and married my great-grandfather. That convent is now the Bourbon Orleans in the Quarter, the only known such hotel in the U.S. I've been wanting to stay there for years and am soooo excited. We're returning via Oxford, MS.
Hey Kittie,
Wow, what an amazing story. The Bourbon Orleans..I've stayed there, it's lovely. Actually, i think the last time i was home we stayed at the Bourbon. How i envy you going to New Orleans for Christmas. I miss my parents so. Have a wonderful time!
