Looking Up


The ice has been trying to slide off the front porch for a week now. Every day it inches forward, but like everything else it is holding firm, frozen in place or moving at the speed of a glacier. And everyday I watch it's progress, and I have to admit, admire its edge silhouetted against the various shades of sky. Rumor has it that we are warming up today, that we may gain back the land, also covered by 1.5 inches of ice.

January Time


January is an internal time; a time to think, to dream and wonder; to read and work; a time to watch the sunrise moving north day by day. A time to eat breakfast in front of the fireplace and watch the early morning light spreading farther and farther into the room. Soon it will reach the far wall. It's a time to stand in the studio with the sun casting light and shadow over the work. A time to work with the sunlight warming me, a harbinger of what is to come.
