If There's Gators, It's Florida

Before catching a later flight out of Florida I was treated to an Air Boat tour of a vast marsh. Seemed that the purpose was to spot alligators, and we managed a good dozen. The birds were choice, absolutely beautiful, and a perfect way to end the conference/workshop/day-off smash up of a week.
 

January at the Beach

Our January has had very little snowfall, and so I took advantage of easy driving to visit a friend and her new beach front home. It is so refreshing to be out and look so far away. Yes, it's cloudy, and yes, it's cold. But the landscape is compelling. 
 

Gorgeous Water

A hike to the Watkins Glen State Park (you know, where they used to race cars through the main street) and a hike down the gorge only had me thinking about water, water, and getting back to the studio to wash out the waiting prints. Well, almost. I had a relaxing day. I washed in the evening.

On the Wall

Started back spring, this water lily pods are now catching the winter light. I've finally finished the piece, which is split to be a diptych. Nice to have January cleaning make way for new art.

Water Scape

Passing through the Cornell Plantations is a bridge and I took this view looking down. I love the strip of dark, and the blobs of color "floating" above. Eager to translate this to fiber. Yes. Next week, when I get home.

On The Water

There is nothing like the light reflection on water to double the image's impact. I love using water in my work. Here I am on the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.

Duality

While you think about how to keep cool, and water will do that, consider two and two. Ducklings and leaves. I like the juxtaposition of shapes.
