So many hues in the trees. It looks like the scenery we saw in Ellijay – and I love it there. I look at all the gold leaves around our little forest and wish they would last longer – I also love the smell of the fallen leaves. <br /><br />I am so sorry about the loss of your cows – that is really sad. The little Willa looks like a charmer. <br /><br />I also cannot stop taking pictures of leaves. On our way back from Tennessee two days ago we took a detour via John’s Mountain Wildlife Management Area in the Chattahoochee National Forest – I declare it was one of the loveliest ride I have taken in a long time. <br /><br />I have to get that book on Emily Carr now. When we went to Victoria the first time, years ago, we stayed at a B&B close to Emily’s childhood home. We visited it then I proceeded to get all the books she wrote and picture books of her paintings. She was such a great artist. There are many of her paintings in the Victoria and Vancouver museums.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-48148789989406236802011-10-27T20:09:46.704-04:002011-10-27T20:09:46.704-04:00I should have mentioned O'Keeffe in my comment...I should have mentioned O'Keeffe in my comment.

Thank you for prodding me to go back to those amazing paintings. I can't say that I think, re Victoria, that Carr is the better artist, but no doubt she did have get more notice because of Stiegletz. I'm grateful for both of them.

Well, we know how women artists fared in AE in the 80's! The feminists were just pushing to have women studies programs, and maybe eventually their efforts made it across campus to art. I so appreciate finding out about another good woman artist.
