I started this drawing in San Antonio, on vacation. This is my first day back in my Fines Creek studio, the winter has made the commute impassable. Anyway, I focused on the theme of the womyn w/ a cap over her head, and stuff going thru her head. I did several drawings there, all w/ a hint of blue, not my usual color. This one bemoans computer glitches. How do we live with them, or without them? Sounds like the dilemma about men!
River
I started this painting last year w/ some misguided idea that I could sell something that I wasn’t invested in. Gregg nailed me and I’m glad. This is starting to be MY river.
Experiment
Vellum is translucent surface used primarily by architects. I don’t think it’s paper, maybe polyester? This is the opposite side. I did the initial drawing and the idea hit me to also draw on the other side. And I’m using acrylics, trying to learn more about their properties. They make lovely washes on the vellum. If I display this I may sandwich it between acrylic sheets. Since it’s 3’x3′, glass would be a problem.
My dog Callie has torn her ACL. We had to buy new tires for the tractor. Gregg’s looking for a job. My stomach hurts.
Knitted
The title came after the drawing. I’m learning to knit, and the hat became knitted. I was floundering in many ways this morning and I flipped thru my journal for inspiration. A note said investigate Klee symbols. Instead I started this drawing w/ my symbols. The woman w/ the cap, spirals, and prayer boxes. This is done on architects vellum which is translucent. The white is really the wall behind. This piece is 3’x3′. If I was hit w/ a money bomb, I would sandwich it between sheets of plexi, and display it so you could see through it.
There may not be a money bomb in my future, but thank goodness the snow is melting. Gregg took me to my FC studio yesterday, but we had a meeting, no time to work. The road is still snowy and icy and chains are required. Wah, I’m getting work done here.
How does your garden grow?
This rock sticks out of my garden. The blue LED lights don’t mind the snow. The mermaid fountain to the left is filled w/ snow. We’re being snowed in for the third time this year. 
Painting
We’ve been mostly snowed in since Christmas. I’ve been doing some painting, mostly on older pieces that have percolated long enuf, thank you very much. I started work on Crash again. I’m so thankful that it was the car that was killed, and not Gregg and Callie!
River
I got a magnet with the comment “Life is not a destination, it’s a journey.” Since I haven’t gotten any official notice that I’m an Artist, I just try to work everyday, and when I get to the end, there will be like the riverbank, a sign, but the river has run past. Oh, and when I get the notification of Artist, I’ll let you know!
hemmed in
The economy or lack there of, and the weather have me hemmed in. I don’t like the feeling, but maybe I’m being forced to move in a direction. It is sooo much easier for me to solve other peoples problems, but the ones on my plate need my attention.
Hystero, means womb.
We ignore our wombs, until something is happening in them. Then they become the center of our universe.

This is the eye of “Marsha Broke Her Ankle”. I love drawing big (large?).
