Wednesday, August 13th dawned sunny, warm and beautiful; one of those rare, perfect, summer days in Maine, made all the more sweet by the string of cold, wet afternoons that preceded it.  Seeming to draw a revitalizing breath of inspiration from the lovely weather, the residents of Watershed were up and hard at work in the studios earlier than usual.  The wonderful sculptures under way in the session resident’s space had begun to take shape over the past few days, and many were ready to be carried outside to dry in the sun.

The great weather and accompaning good vibes continued through out the day, and everyone got allot of work done.  As dinner time rolled around, the dining tables and chairs were carried out onto the lawn…our first clue that we were in for a special treat.  Summer Chef Colden McClurg prepared an italian feast of spaghetti with two homemade sauces, salad greens, garlic bread, and corn on the cob.  The meal was made complete with lively conversation, plenty of wine, and two types of brownies for dessert (homemade by Adero Willard and myself.)  This memorable meal was a fitting end for a perfect day.

Alfresco Feast!
