Deep, dark clouds but no rain
Probably because I went to the memorial service yesterday morning it felt like Monday all day today. I kept watching for the mail carrier, wondered why the neighbor kids weren't back in school, why the package guy didn't drop a box on my doorstep and why the phone didn't ring. But no, it's Sunday all day, and a very dismal one at that. I enjoyed the quiet and flopped on the sofa for some reading and eventually collaged the recent storm. (The snow leapard does have a head, it's just hard to see in this photo.) But it's all there -- the crossed-arm parent, the potentially out-of-control kid and the sensible bowl of hot soup on a cold day. Freud would be proud!
And then I confounded my brain by trying to paint a Christmas ribbon before I put the last bits of wrapping away. 
Love the color and handling of the highlights! The composition is great too ... almost looks like an abstract drawing!
ReplyDeleteI like the collage of the storm story. And the ribbon -- what fun to do! I think you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you both! The collage was fun but the ribbon was mind-boggling. It was hard to follow the loops and circles... I'll try it again in about a YEAR! - Barbara
