Bruce and Buffy's Garden




I'm not sure what it was yesterday, but the Sketcher's were definitely in high spirits as we gathered in groups and singly around the wondrous environs of artists Buffy Cribbs and Bruce Morrow. There was giggling and laughing by the vegetable garden, quiet contemplation under the large shade tree, hushed conversations around the back door of the artist's home. I was drawn, as usual, to old, well used, rusting things. This car grille and bumper fit perfectly into the garden and looked for all the world like a well placed sculpture. This shed, obviously a staging place for maintenance and yard work, couldn't pass my notice. My favorite comment of the day came from Bruce Morrow when he arrived home to find his property filled with Sketchers: "Oh my gosh! I didn't expect so many! I thought there would be 3 or 4 of you." I hope it was a happy surprise. Some of us continued for Happy Hour at Bailey's Corner....all I can say is that the hilarity escalated. What a great Summer day with The Sketchers!
