Rowing on the river

For the first time I took a double boat out on the river last evening. I couldn't help but let out a loud "eeeah". I am free, halleluiah!

Rowing on the river

I have been rowing with a crew all summer. What an experience for me. Our team had a picture made last week and I hope to post it. We row on the Detroit river from the old boat club on Belle Isle. It is remarkably beautiful when we row in the early morning and evening and I feel very fortunate that I am getting to some of the things I enjoy so very much.

After rowing, I go to my studio at Wayne State and have been really thowing that paint around, since classes are out for the summer and I can paint without a critic. One of my last is very appalling and frightening to look at, I call it REQUIEM. Don't know if I will ever show it, but the painting was very cathartic for me.
