11月24日 PAINTING STUDIO Home For The Holiday Thanksgiving 2,009 by Stephen Craig Rowe I will be home for the holiday this Thanksgiving and plan to cook for one as I have done for a number of years. Ten years I believe since sitting at a family table and taking it all in, the banter of conversation, warm smells, before dinner prayers, relaxing cocktails and toasts. The joy of being with loved ones, family and friends. Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go, and those memories are most precious.
My sister Carrie invited me to visit but I don't feel like traveling to Ohio. Will just stay home and cook, work the phone and internet giving thanks, giving, and counting blessings.
For a number of years as a spoof around the holiday season I would tell fellow workers that Bob Dylan made a Christmas album and in my raspy voice mimic some tunes like Dylan doing Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night and such. It was quite funny. This year Bob Dylan has a new album out, Christmas In The Heart and all proceeds are going to http://www.feedingamerica.org Don't know about you, but I think this is a good thing for Mr. Bob Dylan to do. http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid1599922023?bctid=50273075001
The video made me smile and hope it does you too.
Wish you all a good-great Thanksgiving weekend in peace, with family and friends, for home is where the art is.
as ever be well,

My first plate was loaded with sushi and following plates with all kinds of delightful Chinese foods. On the way back to the hosipital we stopped at a corner tap for a little libation or a gin or two. It was a welcome relief.
On Tuesday at the VA Medical Center in Indianapolis I had my pre-op appointment. EKG, chest x ray, pneumonia vaccine, blood-lab works and such. Everything checked out OK and was given the go ahead for surgery on December 8th at the hospital in Indianapolis. Have to be in Indy on the 7th and will be in the hospital for 7days to two weeks following the operation. By then I hope to have my cell phone mastered enough to post updates here or on Facebook and Twitter. If not will ask Sassy or one of my sisters to do so.
It has been a cold, wet, grey week and the quality of day light reminds me of an endless twilight. Trees seem to stretch twigs that touch the low hanging clouds, wave and hiss in the winds. A perfect time for me to make some new paintings and get my house in order as I want it spic and span for when I leave and return. With the event being two and a half weeks away am sure to make some posts from now until then. In the mean time,
As ever be well,

11月12日 PAINTING STUDIO And The Last Leaf Of Fall A Word Painting And Poem By Stephen Craig Rowe Published On Windows Live November 12, 2,009 On my walk today there was a bright clear sun and a chill in the air that was most pleasing. A moment in time, free and alone touching beauty in the change of seasons.
 I was there with the sun upon my face and the cold winds. Hugging trees, rustling brush as my boots lace laughter in personal poetry for those who care and are. Of a love, of a feeling, a knowing and a being so close and so far away that my arms cry to touch you and to be held in clean sheets, quiet streets and an empty sink.
The last leaf
fell
as I
drew upon time,
and
there
I did
not
Fall
For you.
For you are
forever.
As ever be well,
Stephen Craig Rowe
 11月10日 Talking about PAINTING STUDIO VETERANS DAY November 11, 2,009 by Stephen Craig Rowe
Quote PAINTING STUDIO VETERANS DAY November 11, 2,009 by Stephen Craig Rowe 11月8日 PAINTING STUDIO And The Trans Siberian Orchestra November 7th, 2,009 by Stephen Craig Rowe Al Pitrelli, Myself, and Jane Mangini "Friends well met are friends forever."
As some of you know I attended the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert at the Peoria Civic Center last night. Before the concert I went to Jim's Steakhouse for a gin on ice with a twist of lemon. Before I could order, Paula the bartender said, "They were asking about you." Who was asking about me? I replied, and Paula said that The Trans Siberian Orchestra was in the other night and that they were asking about me. As she served my drink I told her that it would have been nice if I were there. She said it was late when they came in and I took that as an excuse for not calling me. Then the Steakhouse got busy and I jumped in clearing and resetting tables for a bit before making my way to the concert.
At the Will Call window I picked up my back stage pass and found my seat. The arena filled and the show began. I can not put into words the feelings experienced during the production. The music, orchestration, lights, action, and seeing my friends Al Pitrelli and his wife Jane Mangini the stars of the show perform. An amazing experience as the orchestra ran through and redefined traditonal tunes in a unique presentation, then did some awesome pieces from the new album Night Castle a haunting beautiful work in progress.
After the show Al and Jane joined me in the Club Room. We had a very good, warm and close visit. The room was about half filled with other VIP's but Al and Jane spent all their time with me thus making it all a bit more special and touching. As we parted there were hugs and kisses, well wishes and beaming glad smiles as I held back my silent tears. I went back to Jim's Steakhouse and had a couple of drinks with the owner. Oh, yes, just before Al and Jane left to sign autographs and stuff, Al said, " I wish we were going with you." Sweet. They also mentioned that the TSO will be doing a Night Castle tour in the spring. All willing I will see them again soon.
In the mean time,
As ever be well,
