Oh Goodie! MORE SNOW today! Wow this is NOT good for my Artistic Disposition! Bluck, boo, hiss, phooey, peeuuuu! Instead of painting I gotta get my shovel, broom (utility not transportation) de-icer, pet-safe salt, boots, long socks, gloves (waterproof), scarf, old coat, in preparation for more snow removal!!! Plus make a run for another homeless kitty hut heater. And Cat Food. Yay.

Winter

Only for the next 80 days or so, this is a view from the house. IIICCCKKK!!! I dont like Winter at all... even though there are good things about the cold and snow and ice i guess.... but i still hate it.

First Snow

The first 'measurable' snow has come to Columbus. Even now light snow is falling, the view from my living room window.  Dave & I went for a walk in Sharon Woods Metro Part this morning. Our short walk yielded lots of pic opps, on a 1 mile path where 1-200 year old Oaks are preserved, baby deer forage, and we spotted a rafter of Wild Turkeys. Yes a rafter. Just found that out!

Here are the best pics:

Met fellow ramblers along the way, sipping coffee, carrying coffee, cameras and binoculars.

Great Fun, on the First Snow Day in Columbus.

a New Creation

Just cant post any new art till after these Local Sales.  One is in 5 days, the other in a Month.  Then I really wanna do some work in Faces.  Even though there isnt tangible work in progress, my subliminal mind is spinning an arresting portrait.  So in January when the Snow is flying by or falling in clumps, crashing onto the giant Pine by my Art Room window, I will be sketching a new painting, lost in Time and Thought, living for the Second that a shade or hue finds its way onto the canvas, wood, or whatever I find to paint on, to finally breath life into a New Creation.

I really look forward to that.

Interesting classes in bottle art too.  And who know, Winter lasts a long time in Ohio.

This new Snowman  features a handsome portrait with bouquet background, his thoughts are on something he can only Imagine, warm spring weather filled with colorful flowers. His thoughts take the chill out of the Winter!

SNOWMEN - Folk Art Paintings w/ Mixed Media

These 12x12 canvases are so FUN to paint! AND it really puts me in a Good Mood for the coming Snowy Months! We usually get a good dose of Frigid temps AND Snow, and in the right Frame of mind, it can be quite delightful and cozy.  Nothing is better than painting in my little Art Room, while the Snow flies by the Giant Pine Tree outside my window.

So, Let it Snow!!!

These images will be reporduced on Tote Bags, Cards and Boxes for my upcoming local sale, but if U cant make it to Columbus this November 5, LMK if U would like a print or reproduction!!!
