Yup Amos. It was a bit scary being in a tornado warning / tornado watch area for a couple of days, and some of the high winds were also a bit scary, but we were very fortunate. No damage to any of our stuff, and no damage to life or limb.

Today has been a good day for painting outdoors with a cool(ish) breeze playing about the patio area. I'm enjoying the painting a lot. I've started exploring the design esthetic of the Arts and Crafts Movent from the second half of the 1800s and the first few decades of the 1900s. I'm using it for painted canvas table mats. It's a lot of fun.

This movement, by the way, is a very interesting one to read about. It had many philosophical similarities to other movements that have produced a lot of beautiful designs, such as the Shaker Movement and the Arts and Crafts Guilds of pre-industrial Europe.
