Plow forming Bonzai

Bonzai!

Good day to the warm sun and to you. WOW! Where I live the plows were busy creating shapes in the deep, deep snow all winter and the sun has achieved the arrival of these hidden sculptures.

Plow pushing, sun melting shows the direction the plow moved the snow into and now this pattern is revealed in arcs and in mini arctic islands of snow, dirt, salt and grime revealed in these massive melting bergs.

There was one that melted before my camera shutter got a peek but my eyes saw a perfectly content frozen lion lying on the crossroads at Lexington and Diffley just some four days prior. There were other witnesses too.

Watercolor and skiing

I've been making a painting each time I'm up in Cable, WI. to visit our getaway place. I've attached two from January. With one more visit at the end of the month, I hope to branch out with color in the next one.

I've been skiing long distances this winter training for a race in the Twin Cities in Feb. Sadly, Sunday I skied half of the way I wanted and my boots overcame my feet. Went into the town I skied to and bought a new pair. Wish me luck next time I can ski the whole way! Even with the pain I still was able to keep a fairly good speed. Zoned out for about 5 of the kilometers-like you do when you drive. Pretty funny.

For all of you artists out there don't forget to add your art to the show at the Minneapolis Institute of Art-

December!

I have been making oil paintings, surface art on the computer and arranging to teach more classes. Kate's project is going really well. I have been doing research and face time for her company more than anything else. All of this is a good balance for me and to this I say my life is contentedly full!
