A Visit to Ellicott City

I took a short trip to old Ellicott City today, and enjoyed it immensely. The sun was out, and a good day to walk, so I grabbed a cup of coffee at the Riverside Cafe, and wandered around. It was interesting to be there and not know anyone, or be recognized by anyone. If I still painted pictures for a living, it would be fun to rent a second floor somewhere for a studio. The granite that the town is built on, and of was giving off so much radiation today, that my mind was really buzzing by the time I left.

I discovered a really nice gallery, the Still Life Gallery, and really enjoyed the ambiance there. From the old style Edison exposed-bulb lighting in the showroom window, to the bottle of Absinthe sitting next to some antique prints, well thought out design was apparent. It was inspiring, it almost made me want to paint again.
