And The Ostrich's Head Emerges

OK, OK. I'll admit it. I've been a bit anti social lately...one might even say a bit hermit-ish. But then again, I suppose that's a bit easy seeing as how I don't know that many people out here. But I have put a bit of extra effort into it the past week, and I apologize. Work has been a bit of a precarious situation for me recently and I've been in a bit of a funk because of it. But things seem to be brightening up--I'd like to say a week of solid pouting helped, but I'm sure it's more the change in my perspective of it all--and I'm coming back out to be my good old social self (look at me be social on my blog!)

Unfortunately, with my lack of socializing, my photography has been put on hold as well. I'll throw in a big batch of the only photos I have--a sunset boat trip back from Little Cranberry Island. I have to admit that that trip was rather nice. We found an actual art gallery on this little tiny island--really, people drive golf carts instead of cars. This couple simply wanted to provide a location for locals to display their work and I have to say it was fantastic! There's nothing like a home gallery!!! Joe said he'd open up the Michelle Panars gallery in our home one day...I might hold him to that!

This past week has actually had some great moments and I feel bad making it sound all bad. My high school art teacher is in town with her husband and mother in law and I've been able to spend some time with them which has been great. It really means a lot that I've been able to keep in contact with someone who has had such a great influence on my career as an artist. If anything, this entire week has been a bit of an inspiration for me as far as my art, although yet again, I'm still bogged down with work and unable to set aside a reasonable chunk of time for art. Boo.

Anyhow, my apologies for the lack of socialization, but here's those sunset cruise photos I mentioned...I can still feel the freeeeezing air and hear the distinct laugh of the boat driver in training...I love days off--especially on the weekend.
