The dehumidifier did not send out a
signal (red light flashing and a buzzing sound) when the bucket that collected water was full. For about three days, water from the machine went all over the floor wetting my
cardboard boxes that were filled with finished and framed paintings.
Thus, I am left with what to do with
a bunch of damaged paintings, or for that matter, all the paintings that no one
else wants.
I have a solution: there is what was formerly a playhouse for
kids built in the woods near the house.
I swept some of the debris out of it and I plan to create a “Mausoleum
of My Works” in that space. Only the
spiders, the rain and many small creatures will be privy to my works. It will be interesting to think about someone
else finding this treasure trove when it is black with mold and wet with rain
and covered in cobwebs.
