This morning, after coming home from my walk with the
dogs, I walked down Congress to look back at the St.
Lawrence Church and the bell tower one last time.
What an extraordinary building. The dismantling
preparations started yesterday & I knew that at
the end of the day my studio muse would not look the
same (my studio looks out on the church). In fact, as
I type I can see the crane at work & hear the
slate roof & debris being gathered. So goodbye
for now, my dear friend. I hope to see you watching
over the neighborhood again, in the not so distant
future.
I will donate a percentage of my daily painting sales
for the next month to the rehabilitation of the Saint
Lawrence.

I woke up to DENSE fog & even though the church
tower was right under my nose I could barely make it
out ... and then a couple of hours later the fog had
burned off revealing a gorgeous day & the
deconstruction of the Saint Lawrence that is under
way. Part of the church is being taken down because
if it's not taken down it will fall down ... it's an
amazing construction that structurally couldn't
support itself. So they are disassembling it &
then the plan is to reassemble it. My fingers are
crossed that it goes smoothly -- I adore the
church--it's what I look out on from my studio.
