The Corner Bar, Rockford, MI

From 1976 to 2010 this place loomed very large in my life and my heart. I did hate the hotdogs, but the rest of West Michigan LOVED them (and in all fairness, I hate ALL hot dogs). This was the gathering place, the community rec room, the meeting hall, the place for students to get their first jobs. It was a friendly place for young and old, families and friends, business people and little league teams to meet and greet and enjoy deep fried pickles and see if they could eat enough hot dogs to get their names on the Wall of Fame. 

I felt the sorrow clear out here on the Northwest tip of Washington when it burned to the ground early this month.  And painting it was a balm for me. 

And it will rise up and come back, and be better than ever. And I want the Corner Bar family to know  that this is how I feel about it.

Summer in Langley Series - "Langley Lavender, City Sheep"

You know it is summer in Langley when the sheep are out in the fields of Fossek Farms, and the balls of fragrant purple lavender are in bloom all up and down Langley's streets. One of my favorite sights, and it is just at the corner of De Bruyn and Third Streets. 

Summer in Langley Series - "Adirondacks on Anthes"

You simply cannot miss these two chairs sitting side by side in this flower filled yard on Anthes in Langley. They are so bright red I think they can be seen from space. 

Summer in Langley Series - "Cool Treats at Sprinklz"

Sprinklz is a very popular new spot in Langley, for young and old. Hot dogs on the go, ice cream, crazy gifts and gags, and the smell of freshly baked waffle cones on the air. Mmmmm, SUMMER!

Summer in Langley Series - "Wild Rose Arbor at the Basil Cafe"

For years I have driven past these magnificent brilliant roses on the arbor in front of the Basil Cafe and every year have said, "THIS year I am going to paint those!" Good thing I did this year as Chung and his family are on to new adventures off the Island. But they have this painting!

Summer in Langley Series - "Fair Trade Flowers"

The flowers were magnificent in the beds in front of Fair Trade Outfitters on Anthes Street in Langley.
