signs of spring


porch mornings

green lace on the hillsides
birds and peepers busy in song

colors just emerging in the garden

time to take a moment
it will be over in a minute

I'm off next week 
taking my eldest to visit colleges
having just survived 
the first 'parent drive' of many

time to take a moment
it will be over in a minute

monotype makeovers


Here are two before and after monotypes I made today.  The prints were done with acrylic, then were altered using gouache, gold leaf, collage with handmade papers and ink.  They are about 6x6" on rives bfk.

snail mail



There's just not enough regular mail (not bills!) going through the postal system these days, so lately I have been making little postcards to send to people I know.  This one is for a friend who was just accepted to the CMCA biennial.
