Another reason to love J. Alden Weir - he nailed metal stars like this one to the ceiling of his studio.I love the show of time here, the star and the shadow of the star. Time present and time past moving in tandem.The other day chatting with two National Park Service rangers here, Allison and Cassie, we all confessed to having a crush on J. Alden Weir. They both became a little wowed when I mentioned that upstairs in my cottage there's a life-sized photograph of Alden standing on the land, palette and paintbrush in hand.
"It's a nerdy historical figure kind of crush," Cassie laughed, "but we can't help it."
No, no we can't.
