Powdered Snow

A few years ago, I took a little Winter trip in Vermont.  It hadn't snowed much and the effect was of  a dusting of powder.  I painted these two little landscapes when I came back home.  (each: 12x12.  acrylic on board.)

Mrs. Aplux Reads

 

Mrs Aplux has been keeping me company since I first painted her.  I like her very much.  Here she is reading her comics. 

Eugene and his Friend

 

Something cozy for the weekend.  

Mrs Aplux

 

I was playing with acrylics and Mrs Aplux showed up.  Who is she?  Not sure yet.  Will she come back?  I hope so.  

Weighing Options

 

Playing with acrylics and letting things happen.   

2 figures

what was that?
collage + acrylic
11x4.25

title came after collage was done. these 2 characters appeared to gaze in the same direction. a bit of surprise in the attitude. no?

another bird figure

windy
acrylic
7x4

this emerged from color shapes. it has a bit of a romantic mood i like.

end of notebook

letting go
from tiny notebook

appropriate title for the last page of my notebook. it needs applying to many aspect of present life!
will now try to keep playful aspect of work on individual pieces. but might enjoy returning to notebook format someday.

another house

house, tree, cloud.
from tiny notebook

childhood themes are coming back and i love them. i remember endlessly drawing houses surrounded by trees, a sun, some flowers... very typical but so delightful to execute.

bosquet bleu

bosquet bleu
from tiny notebook

bosquet: french for a little group of trees. one of my recurring themes.

birds and flower

very tiny birds
from tiny notebook

red day

red day in the land of 2 suns
collage+acrylic on board
12x12

what is 'the land of 2 suns'? not sure. the phrase came to my mind a year or so ago and hasn't left. somewhere warm, i'm sure. and magical.
