The snow is overwhelming. It is getting to me this week. Having to think about walking the neighbors dog while she is away in some beautiful warm beach somewhere. But then it really is kind of peaceful when your out in it. Then jarred awake again from the scraping the hard concrete clearing the walks for the 100th time. Well, I exaggerate. It seems like 100.

The only painting I accomplished this week are the three 4x4's here. Far from what my intentions were. The time gets away and soon the stacks of paper get higher and higher. It is about time for another clean up.

This was a quick one, thinking I could get one more in by the time the week is up. No thought put into it. I quickly picked a small notan sketch and made up the scene with confusing color combos to match. Again, they can't all be winners. And it goes to show you how frame of mind really affects what you do.

I feel good about getting something done in which I rarely accomplish. When I first built this grainery (silo) frame I had intended to put wooden frames in the window but I ran out of time to do so by show time. I thought I would never get the inspiration to redo this piece. But I guess it was in my original thought process to do it this way. I am glad to have rebuilt and added old weathered wood frames. I hope I have another opportunity to show this piece again, otherwise it will sit in my basement with the rest of my paintings. 24x48 inches faux steel grain bin with 4 10x10 pastel paintings.
