Today

The Sun Came Out

Our version of bright.

And More Snow on the way.

Outside

We got MORE Snow 

The mailman couldn’t get anything in our mailbox. He brought the mail to door. 

Mom, will you shovel off the trampoline? 

I did. Hundreds of pounds of sticky snow. 

Wind protection.

So the birds can still eat. 

Winter Hardy

Fresh From Fall

We are still enjoying these. No canning or freezing or fusses. Just keep and cook. Isn’t it pretty? It would have been good for a still life, if I had time for that, but it is eaten now. 

Winter Day

Snowy

To start this year, we got some cold days, then a bit of snow, then some warming, which made slipperiness, then slushy snow, which made treacherous footing, then rain, which made most of the snow disappear, then today the snow came back: fluffy, heavy snow, all day. 

So, yesterday, when it was raining, I made a little winter watercolor. Today, I added snowflakes.

A Bit More

A few minutes, here and there.

The beginnings of white snow.

A Start

That’s All

No painting p-in-a-day these days. 

Sometimes all one can do is a tiny bit in a day. I sketch while doing other things, like talking to people.....

If one does a little bit each day, even with “no time for art,” then eventually something will come from it.

My vision of heaven is free time with focused attention.

Session two 

Late Christmas

About to Bloom

This was a business gift. When I finally brought it out of the cooler dining room, into the warmer kitchen by the wood stove, it perked up and opened. Sensitive tropical natives! 

This is how the bulbs come these days: waxed on a wire stand, not in a pot. “Do not water,” they say. OK. 

Another Bit

Mini Canvas

A Bit on a Bitty-Bit

Around boxing things, I started assembling some bits I started a while ago. These will probably be further developed.

Coming Down
