Winter Landscapes

We’ve been in survival mode for so long since we’ve been FREEZING OUR BUTTS OFF that last night I just had to move some paint around. Working with my mood I painted these tiny, cold landscapes.

This morning as I walked past my studio the first sun of the week streamed in and arrested me with this beautiful image of the shadows playing across my desk. 💙

These tiny pieces are 94% finished. Only minor focal points to complete them. #texascold #wemightactuallylivenow

Father, we thank You for your sheltering wings. Please protect those who are still without power and water and we THANK you for warmer days to come. AMEN.

Abstract Painting... Almost

Here’s a closeup of a section of ‘Enter,’ the previous painting I posted. I love the abstract qualities of this piece. Happy day to you!

Turkish tour

Another look at those natural color-sources. I asked about cochineal, because you couldn't just have that on a shelf, and yes, their deep reds are cochineal. It's a South American insect that is a parasite to the prickly pear. Owners deposit them into their fields, and blow them off and collect them once they're big. Then they crush their fat, bloody bodies for a nice, natural, red dye. I'm so happy to report that the rug we purchased has cochineal in it. I'm also happy to report that it's likely in your lipstick and blush, ladies, and if you drink cherry coke - it's in there, too! :)

'My' Chair

At our theatre the other night we had an orchestra meeting after I taught my sets class. After about a half hour, someone pulled me out of the meeting for a few minutes. When I came back, everyone in the room was laughing and pointing to the nice, uh, black leather chair. I had paint on the back of my shirt, and it permanently smeared all over the leather! The last time I went in the office, I noticed that someone had taped up the sign you see here. One way to lay claim to something! Well, it's not the first time, let's see, there's my driveway with many colors of paint, our carpet with Peter Pan green footprints, my car with yellow paint on the seat, my gloves, half of my clothes. It seems like everyone likes my painted clothes, kind of like already-broken-in-jeans. Maybe I should start a clothing line!

Abstract Painting... Almost

I snapped this cool photo in a sewing shop.
