Day 100 Patricia Scarborough – Nebraska: Across the Pond – Oil on board 7″ x 5″ - August 2009
– This is one of my favorite “hidden” places. It’s just off the bridge coming into town off Highway 81. Actually, it’s a backwater from the creek, full of algae and muck. When the sun hits it though. the water sparkles and gleams as though it were a clear mountain stream. –

Day 100 – Mavis Penney - Labrador: Inukshuk at Sunset - Oil on canvas 5″ x 7″ - August 2009
– An Inukshuk is an arrangement of stones traditionally placed to mark a good location, or to indicate a good direction along a trail.
People might also build an Inukshuk to demonstrate “I was here” in a particular place. For me, this particular Inukshuk celebrates me
reaching my goal – 100 Days of a-painting-a-day. This Inukshuk also points me farther in my creative journey. I am grateful for all of your
comments and suggestions during the past several months. Thank you for joining us “Off the Highway” and sharing our experiences. –

Hi Patricia:
I am so glad we made this creative journey together. May there be many more projects for us!
This quote from T. S. Eliot came to my mind… “We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.”
Hope that’s not too heavy a thought for a beautiful summer day!
Thank you, – Mavis
