Not Another Brown Cow Painting

Ken liked this painting so much that he wanted to collaborate with me on a children's story about a blue cow and a five-legged bird.  Title to be determined.

We'll see.

Inside....Outside

The Blessedness of Snow

Even in March.  Even after the first day of Spring.

I needed the quiet, the hush of thick snow.  I needed the purple, blue skies of twilight.  Our region desperately needed the moisture. 

I am grateful. 

Playing Revisited

Last week's scrap of canvas morphed into this week's study for a larger canvas.  I'm trying to be more direct and loose with my style.  I hope that I didn't overwork this piece.  Some of the strokes came directly from the paint tube or with the barest end of the palette knife. 

I need to let this one rest for a while and then I'll look at it again.  I want to keep it fresh.

Yard Work at the Chumbleys

Yeah, right...

I Needed to Play

I was feeling a little bored with my painting style.  I needed to play.

So I took some odds and ends.

Found a favorite color and made it really watery.

And started to layer color upon color.

I played with the direction of the canvas.

I have a vague idea of what these may become.

Or I may play some more.







I Think I'm In Love

with my new standing/sitting desk.  Taking this shot forced me to clean up my desk (a little).  I still have ugly cords but Matt in the Support Center made them as tidy as he could. 

As a little contrast, here's another corner of the office (not so industrial looking).



Snow Day

What is more fun than sledding with a five-year old and a four-year old?

Nothing.

New Show ... Thank You Moxie Cinema

These photos are waaaay toooo dark, but after all, we (clear throat, I mean Kate, thank you Kate) finished hanging the show around 7pm on a February evening. 

Instead of just looking at these less-than-stellar photos, please come by the Moxie during the month of March and see them for yourself.  And watch a terrific film (or two or three).  Or purchase the painting of the three bowls of fruit to support the Moxie.  Or buy a packet of cards to support the Lespwa Timoun clinic and ministry in Croix des Bouquets, Haiti. 

Thanks for stopping by.
