Found this at OutsiderInside Art in Atlanta which, sadly, recently closed up shop. The painting is by Betty Brown and was done in 1991. Apparently, she was married to a well-known primitive artist who has since passed away…last name also Brown, but whose full name I can’t recall. (Where is folk art expert Randy Siegel when I need him?) Kathy, OutsiderInside’s owner/dealer who originally purchased this work, told me that as she tried to negotiate the price, Betty walked up to her painting, stood close and stared at it for a long time, then turned around to the dealer and said slowly, “Well, that cotton took me a long time to do.” Kathy relented. Ms. Brown, wherever you are, your sweet painting has found a permanent home at our farm.

And here’s his bedroom. He’s already made sure he can lock the door. 😀
Adrian’s Escape
So one of Adrian’s favorite parts about the house is this tiny loft upstairs, which he immediately staked out as his game room. We’ve been working on it the last few weeks and the hangout pad is about done. He’s bringing his buddy Graham this weekend to test it out.Cotton field at sunset
