and then there is this... on Snow-Day #3

Here is our newly adopted 'rescue dog'. He came to us from down south. Though he's been with us for just a couple of weeks, he is proving to be a most loving and wonderful dog. This guy is a 'tripod', a hind leg was removed due to an unknown accident which wasn't addressed soon enough. An amazing and dedicated vet in Georgia guessed he was probably hit by a car. Today our new dog, known to us as Niko, learned about snow... and he loved it. He ate it, he jumped in it, he chased it, and he pondered it down along the river bank.

I'm happy to share this early spring Snow-Day with Niko!

Snow-Day #2, New Fox Design

What should have been my first day back to school (after knee surgery) turns out to be a SNOW-DAY! Wahoo! Here's a new mitten design to celebrate! (The real celebration is actually a very successful surgery and this is affording me a lot of knitting time while my knee is 'resting'.) 

In pondering this new design... I'm thinking with a few changes, it could become a raccoon. Maybe there's another animal in there as well.

I love the 'figuring out' new designs.... there's a good amount of math, texture, and of course COLOR.

Snow-Day #1 Creating the Mood for the Cabin Fever Art Show!

View today from my studio on the Sheepscot River

 Finally, a SNOW-DAY! This lovely day afforded me the opportunity to get to Longfellow's Greenhouses to set up for the Cabin Fever Art Show. I'm excited to be in this show again. All the artists are so friendly and their work is of a high caliber. Stop by if you get a chance!

Here is a new print I will have at the show:
 'Blueberries and Tiger Swallowtail'. This is not a new painting, I just finally turned it into a print.

p.s. U2 has been on my cd player for hours, I'm truly in heaven...
Snow-days ARE my world.

Cabin Fever Art Show at Longfellow's Greenhouses

I will be showing my art prints again this year at the Cabin Fever Art Show. This is a wonderful event held at Longfellow's Greenhouses in Manchester.

This Morning Glory is a new print I'll have at the show.
I now have prints available in a couple of sizes.

Little Kitten mittens! The Cabin Fever Show is February 6 & 7.

Waving Goodbye to 2015

'Mount Katahdin from Millinocket Camp' F.E. Church

Here is this year's school mural. 'Mount Katahdin from Millinocket Camp' by: Frederic Edwin Church. It's a peaceful mural, a good fit for the 2015-2016 school year.

We have snow! It finally arrived two days ago. I was getting used to the warmer weather and bare ground.

It looks like I am staying up to midnight on New Year's Eve... 40 minutes to go. May you have a great 2016. I wish you health, plenty of time to read and listen to good music, peace of mind, and an abundance of people to love. Cheers!
