At the moment, my “heart-leaf” (rotfl, German joke) mr.Natey resides in “The Green Mountain State” called Vermont. Vermont is a small state between New York (south) and New Hampshire (north). Maine is next to and north-east of New Hampshire.
Vermont’s largest city is named after the famous sox “Burlington”. 
Just kidding. Burlington actually is “the smallest U.S. city that is the largest city in its state”, because it only has a population of about 39000. The town is, amongst others, famous for the ice-cream Ben & Jerry’s (that you might have seen in Germany as well) who started their business at a gas station in Burlington.
Anyway, my lovely NateMan lives in a smaller town up north-east, called Johnson. Here’s a photo how it looks there during this time of the year:
In the middle of their 5th season, the Indian Summer. Beautiful, isn’t it?
mr.Natey is one of the few artists, not coming from one of the top universities in the States (Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc.), who still got a full scholarship at the art residency Vermont Studio Center, which is “the largest international artists’ and writers’ Residency Program in the United States. Each year the Studio Center hosts 600 outstanding emerging and mid-career painters, sculptors, new genre artists, printmakers, photographers, poets, and writers (50 per month) from across the country and around the world.”
WoooooW! My hon is one of them. Proud Cola. 
If you’re not from the art-scene, you may wonder what an (art) residency is (good) for. The Vermont Studio Center explains it very well in their mission statement.
Their intention is “To support dedicated artists, by offering distraction-free working time and space, the companionship of creative peers, and the inspiration of distinguished mentors in a non-competitive, international community that honors the making of art as a communication of spirit through form.”
Here is the view out of the artist’s studio window:
Actually, I wanted to show you one of mr.Natey’s recent (online) projects::::
