Counting the Days, the Studio Awaits

The November daily drawings, seen in the two photos below, have been dipped in beeswax and now make a lovely (and much taller!) stack. They join the ranks of the September and October drawings seen in the background of this first photo. I'm not sure if these dailies will feature in my upcoming show at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City or not. The show opens in mid-February and I hope to make all new work for it, but first have to finish school (counting the days).  After the holiday travels, I will spend January devoted to being in the studio full-time....can't wait!!



These drawings were just listed over at MissouriBendStudio on Etsy. These are from the daily drawings done in February of 2014....seems so long ago!! I'm sharing some of my favorites from that group and hope some folks out there will give them a loving home.





After an amazing winter wonderland start to the week, seen below, our temperatures are climbing into the 40s for the foreseeable future....the snow is nearly gone.


Enjoy the rest of your weekend. May moments of inspiration take you by surprise.

Winter Wonderland

hoar·frost
ˈhôrˌfrôst/
noun
  1. a grayish-white crystalline deposit of frozen water vapor formed in clear still weather on vegetation, fences, etc.


    We could tell by the strange fog this morning as the sun came up that it was going to be a spectacular hoarfrost morning! 


    The temperature was a frigid cold (maybe -7F?) and the icy fog enveloped us in a dreamscape.


    You don't really see the hoarfrost until the fog clears.....


    and then, as if some magical event has occurred....


    a winter wonderland!


    Somehow the hoarfrost doesn't seem to last very long, but it feels like pure magic when it happens!


    These are the views Johntimothy and I captured independently on our phones as we each 
    drove in to school this morning!
