What's On My Wall

Where I Used to Live, Bill C. Ray

Bacon, Cheese and Oatcakes, following Terreus' lead, asks what favourite work of art you have in the most prominent place in your home?

This is my favorite piece, and it's placed prominently, for me, at the foot of my bed.  It's the first thing I see in the morning, and the last thing at night.  The title is true:  this is a painting of magnificent, rainy, Southeast Alaska. I have another from this series, Spill, which hangs above the piano in the living room.

When I was a part of the working world, I indulged my yearning for art liberally, and my house is filled with it.  It nourishes me every day.

And Juneau looks just like this painting today....rainy, misty and cool. The tourists are gone, and the streets are quiet again. A shop has opened below your old office, which displays folk art and ceramics from around the world. And Heritage Coffee is planning to open an epresso shop that will be on the opposite corner. But the mountains and clouds in fall are always the same...
