My home has been without power for several days now and since I have no generator, it's been painfully cold. It's no fun to sit around all day, all bundled up and shivering, with no TV or computer to help pass the time. My part of coastal New Hampshire has its power back but at least 200,000 of my neighbors do not. I pray they get it back soon. I had to clean out my freezer and refrigerator and we went to the supermarket this morning but their freezers were virtually empty. My two on going art shows will be a bust since they have been closed due to lack of power. Now that power is back in my area there is very little traffic. At least I have an excuse now for poor sales for these shows.
I hope all of you can stay warm and cozy for this Christmas season.
This blog is about my efforts to produce impressionist paintings of landscapes, marine art, aviation art, animals and also about my dog and me.

About Me
- halsart
- Coastal, New Hampshire, United States
- I'm an analog man in a digital world. I dream of what never was and never will be. I'm a retired Air Force Pilot, my pride and joy in the Air Force was piloting the B58, Hustler. I'm retired from my second career as a corporate accountant; no pride and joy there. I've been a painter for more than 35 years and yes I should be better than I am. Many of those years, I was working and commuting for 15 hours a day and only completed 3 or 4 paintings a year during that period. Since retiring my art has consumed me. My art is the product of a few college art courses, workshops too numerous to count, and many years of messing about. I am or have been a member of many art associations and am a past President of the Seacoast Artist Association of New Hampshire, I have received many awards from local and regional art shows, including a best in show, a peoples choice award, many best in medium and honorable mentions too numerous to note.

I went through the ice storm of January 1998 (in Maine) and went a week without power, so I can empathize with sitting in the cold and shivering. My thoughts are with you and those around you as you all recover from this event. Sorry to hear about your shows being closed. Wishes for a creative and prosperous New Year.
