What is next? Volcano eruptions and now a big earthquake? With all this excitement going on, how can anyone concentrate on work? I wish this volcano thing would just settle down and get back to being a pretty mountain again. I was working on the second floor in my painting studio when the trembler hit and it was a major jolt, 4.7 magnitude! That got my blood pressure moving. The epicenter was about ten miles from our place, so it felt much more intense. I wonder if the volcano will blow again soon, these episodes are often related. Anyway, I’m back to work again now, today we are filing copyrights.

Hi Gail hope you and your family and studio are ok after the earthquake, I have never experienced an earthquake. Are you going to paint any pictures from your holiday to Australia and New Zealand all the best Lesley
Hi Lesley!
I’ve lived in earthquake country all my life and you sort of get used to them. But epicenter of this one was so close It was like an explosion, short and sharp. Nothing was damaged anywhere up here, I think the hard jolt just got everyone’s attention and at first we all thought the volcano Mt. Redoubt had a big eruption.
When I get back to painting I’d like to focus on the botanical gardens that we visited.
Thanks, Gail
