On the way to Homer this morning, we stopped to see the Norman Lowell Gallery. The 85 year old gentleman is not only a collector of art objects, and a poet, he has built a gallery for his paintings and collections. What impressed us was his eye for putting on canvas the beauty of creation. His poetry gives expression to his faith. In his poem, 'Remember', the following excerpts captures this: "...may the grandeur of this great land overwhelm your imagination, and cause you to wonder, to reflect on all you have seen on this earth. May you know with certainty that it was God who formed this earth,and his hand that touched with beauty this place."
There was a painting that our caught our attention. It is a print on canvas. Technology is amazing. We couldn't afford the real thing, but the method called giclee (zhee-clay) is close to the original. We had our picture taken with the artist.
We had supper on the Homer Spit at Captain Pattie's. We shared a Sampler Seafood platter. A wonderful place to eat. Our B & B is about 7 miles out of town. Again, today was sunny, cool, and clear. The mountains showed their beauty once more.
I've enjoyed following your trip very much. Now you must be close to catching that ferry. Hope the final leg is a good one and I'll be looking forward to seeing you next Saturday sometime.
