| *** A PEEK INTO THE LIFE AND LOVES OF MERTON *** These are pieces that give you (my friends, visitors and viewers) a little glimpse into me, my life and loves. Enjoy!  |
| ******* MERTON'S HOUSE OF MANY STUDIOS ******* This is a folder featuring photographs which give you a peek into the little suburban art hermitage that I share with my hubby and doggie. It is (as the title of this module/folder suggests) a "house of many studios" and an interesting, colorful, arty, eclectic place in which to reside, create, and teach. My house of many studios (and galleries) is perfect for a suburban art hermit like me. I love to wander about and create in it each day, as I spend my morning and afternoon alone with my muse. Doggie keeps me company, and then, lucky me, hubby comes home at end of day from the business world, and I have his love too. I do really have the "best of all possible worlds" as Dr. Pangloss of Candide would say! This is all great for me... but poor, beleaguered, non-artistic-minded, literal-minded, minimalism-preferring hubby! Ah, well, this is the price of having a partner who's an artist, I suppose! (Hope hubby thinks it's worth it... "Hope, the thing with feathers," as Miss Dickinson intones in her poetry!) |
