Hi! We just had an earthquake. I don't remember us ever having one on the Eastern Shore. I heard a boom. My daughter called from New Jersey,we are in Virginia, and said she felt the house move up there. Heard from my son in Richmond,Va. by email, they had to evacuate their office building at his work. It originated near Charlottesville,Va. (5.8 on the Richter scale) No one was hurt that I know of. I was cleaning the porch so I could go sit outside and paint. Moved the table to the corner and Daisy and I finished my new "Vinca and Hummingbird". I knew the painting needed something and I love hummingbirds so much, so I drew it into the painting yesterday and painted it today. The birds were flying around me as I painted! Even a hummingbird moth came to see what I was doing,they too are beautiful. Unfortunately I couldn't get the lid off my iridescent medium and so I used the powdered iridescent to glaze the bird... but if I can get that lid off.. well take care and stay safe.. talk to you soon, Diana
Beautiful painting! Glad you're ok after our "rattle & roll"!
ReplyDeleteDiana, the painting is wonderful, the hummingbird was the perfect addition. Looks like a great day to paint outside (aside from the quake trembles!)
ReplyDeleteWow! How scarey that must be! Here in the UK any type of natural disaster is very rare so we are very lucky in that way. Glad you are all ok! The painting by the way is beautiful - I was looking at the last post only yesterday. Gorgeous! :0)
ReplyDeleteThank you Maria, Sandra, and Carol, Glad everyone is safe and thanks, Take care,Diana
