Snow!

It doesn't take a lot of snow to snarl traffic in this city, you might notice a light dusting on the tree. 

I took this picture while inching along to work this morning. 

I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow!

Happy New Year!

It was nice to have few days off after Christmas. My time was spent working on a huge oil painting,running to the art store to buy lino to make prints and then over to the craft store for wool to make a scarf.  I realize I am a bit of a "scanner" when it comes to creating art. I love to trying new things, and sometimes have trouble finishing projects:).

The above acrylic painting was started and finished today..

Week-end Project

After sorting and organizing some boxes of stuff in my studio,

 I found some old linocuts that I had made a couple of years ago.

Thought I would try and set aside some time this week-end and create some more!!
