Heaven Help Me, But It's Winter In Maine

 

10 x 8" pen and ink sketch of myself compromised......may it never happen! 

 

 

It has warmed up to a chilly 12°F outside of our cottage. It was 2 degrees this morning when I got up. I am dressed in an undershirt, a turtleneck, an alpaca sweater and heavy weight jeans.  Then I add a Polartec jacket under my down jacket,with snow pants to cover my jeans, then I go down to the barn to do chores. God help me if I slip and fall. I would never be able to get back up again. I would just lie there until spring came. Or maybe I could take a selfie of myself ( as I always carry my phone) and send it to Facebook and show everyone a picture of me, …the last picture of me before I died of frostbite on my way down to the barn .

Cruel Mother Nature

Today the sun shines brilliantly onto the snow...it feels so warm out, that the dogs and I sat on our deck just drinking in the sunlight, bathing ourselves in the promise of spring. But then the weatherman says we will have a winter storm tonight that will dump up to a foot of white on our already white landscape! I'm sorry..I don't think we need this! I prefer the warm sunshine thank you!!

I did take advantage of some good weather to shot some paintings that are done.. ..before the snow flies. These are two new caseins just finished. [Titled: "Shades of Black-Winter" are #1 and #2 ] and they are each only 4 x 4". I am thinking I might redo the same composition bigger. The abstraction of them attracts me!

But in the mean time, these little 'masterpieces' will be put up on my website. I am planning on making a separate collection of just my smaller works. Check it out......!

Now maybe I need to walk the dogs in the sun while we still have some!!
