My FC studio has a propane heater and I can’t use oils when it’s lit. I got to work there today. These are two 30″ panels. I don’t know whether the doors will warp, but I put the paint on in washes. I really like the effect. I know I will put more paint on them, but maybe I can save some of the wash areas. The color is so delicate, and the panel is not.
top heavy
I’m more excited about the spirals, I don’t know why. This is going the right way, but as I post this I notice that all the spirals at the top are the same width. Break it up!
antenna
Hugh was trying to help get wi fi in my studio. We went home for lunch. His cell would only stay connected if he made himself a human antenna. Ah, the joys of country living!
Yeah! Sunshine!
I worked more on the river. 
snowed in
The advantage of being snowed in is I get a lot of work done. 
Fear is a Mind Killer
I started this when I had health care ins. Now I don’t and the FEAR is mind killing. I wish the jerks in our govt. would get off their high horses and think about Americans, not reelection.
The moon needs work
You may not believe this, but I can see things in these photos that I miss in the studio. Since I’m using a flash it highlights things. Instead of glowing, my moon looks like it’s having a solar flare. So I know what this afternoons project it. 
NYT article
On Feb. 14 Roberta Smith wrote an interesting article in the NYT. One paragraph resonated. “What’s missing is art that seems made by one person out of intense personal necessity, often by hand. A lot but not all of this kind of work is painting, which seems to be becoming the art medium that dare not speak its name where museums are concerned.”
I was wondering why art was now a manufacturing medium. Hooray for paint!
river
There’s snow in places that don’t normally get snow. The global climate isn’t all that’s changing. I’ve always liked the patterns of the topography when I fly.
Tree of Life
Sorry for the shiny photo. The panel is 80″ tall, and hard to light, so I used the flash. The tree is progressing, roots on Earth, reaching into space.
