Texture

 The bark on the trees on our hill is interesting

So much texture.

Gnarly and peeling.

No two are the same.

 It is so interesting what nature give us in the way

of visuals. Looking at the tree I wonder is it hurt

 when it was growing,

Nature is a wonderful thing.

 In 2009 I did a series with watercolors and 

branches and leaves.

I pressed the branches from the trees around the pond.

Chokecherry.

Than I created spontaneous watercolor to use with 

them and framed them under glass. 

Wish I would have kept this one.

It is amazing how it is hard to re-create something.

Works of art are always one of a kind.

Texture in winter

 Winter lets us see the finer points of nature.

The bark of trees- the forest floor..

Texture all around us.

Today will be a studio day and a

day to hang some art quilts in the library.

It is fun to share art with fellow readers.

Love to get their reactions.

So far we haven't had much snow.

We are severely dry underground.

Hopefully the snows will come and

replenish the ground water.

Looking forward to another growing season.

We will place our seed order soon.

But first I need some serious studio time.

Where is winter?

 I had all these photos I wanted to take this winter

on  my bucket list. They all required snow.

Where is it?

This may be a record breaker year.

My time is being spent with rehab and doctors.

My right shoulder and arm do not cooperate.

I go to the specialist Tuesday to find out what is wrong.

Sorry if I don't blog as regular but I will do my best.

I am getting cranky about not creating enough.

Ah! such is life.

These are of a tree in my yard.

Love that bark.
