Latest Painting
Mrs. Fleger’s Bedroom Door, 8×10 acrylic © Michelle Basic Hendry
This is a new painting I finished this week. It is a small piece of the painted wooden door to Mrs. Fleger’s Room on the second floor of the abandoned “Twilight” House in Uffington, Muskoka. See the story here.
On September 9th, I had a wonderful article written on my McMichael adventure by Matthew Sitler in the Examiner/Banner. I also had the pleasure, yesterday, of being interviewed by Dale Peacock, outstanding writer, columnist and remarkable lady. She spent three months in Guatamala building houses and got her law degree – in her fifties! The adventure of art making has bought me across the paths of some interesting people…
Night time temperatures are cooling, the crickets are singing, and even a few trees are showing the signs of the coming Autumn. The days are getting noticeably shorter and I miss long summer nights already…

really nice texture to the door
I miss the long summer nights too, having to put the lights on earlier and earlier is a pain :/

I am so ready for Fall! September has been absolutely glorious in My Muskoka.
What fabulous work you do!
As someone else said, I need to buy your work while I can still afford it!!!

This is awesome Michelle! Love the textures and worn look. Holds a bit of mystic too…wondering where that door leads.

Very nice Michelle! I really like the little details, shadows and how you transform simple objects into a good painting! Take care.

Gads…I feel like I can TOUCH this one. Stupendous. Congrats on the interview, as well. Our temps are still very Summery, of course. I’m looking forward to Fall, personally. Need to get out of the house again!

Beautiful piece, realism that works as an abstract composition. Lines and placement remind me of a Mondrian.

Congratulations on your article and interview!!!
