About a month ago I was at the Alberta Street Fair with Nate & Ingrid, and we stumbled across an artist that we really liked: Renee Hartig. She does skies and clouds in a way that truly speak to me. I really wanted to buy one of her pieces, but I just couldn’t afford it. So, I took one of her cards and left it at that.

A few weeks later I found her card sitting on my desk and thought I might as well send her an email, just letting her know that I appreciated her art. She wrote back thanking me, but also saying that she’d followed a link in my email “signature,” found a photo that I took in Tasmania, and wanted to create a painting from it. Amazing. I said, “Hell Yeah.”

Here’s the photo:

And here’s the painting:

You can see her other work at Studio Hartig.

I downloaded the iPhone WordPress App, but I was a little disappointed to find out that I couldn’t use it in landscape mode, especially when typing out a new post. I think it’s SO much easier to type on the iPhone when I can hold it sidewards.

Anyhoo, I looked up how to post to WordPress by email because I knew I could type emails in landscape mode. I configured my secret post-by-email address and then started typing up this blog post. About one paragraph in I goofed big time and sent the email prematurly. Oops!

I fired up the WordPress App again with the intention of deleting the post, finishing the email, and then reposting. But, upon revisiting the app, I found that I can, in fact, use it in landscape mode, so I went ahead and finished it…

Right back where I started.
