The fox and the snow



Yesterday I woke up to snow. Lots of it, which was perfectly fine with me. I love hanging out in my PJs with nowhere to go. Until I realized I needed to go grocery shopping. Until the toilet clogged and no plunger was to be found. It was time to drive to get supplies. Anyone who has lived with snow is probably well versed in the snow dance. First you bundle up, sweep(literally) the snow off of the car, scrape the windows, warm up the car, all without trying to freeze yourself. So I did that. Then there was the driving part. That was an adventure. No one can see the lines on the road under the snow, so it is kind of a free for all. I also know now, that when the snow is slushy from all the traffic, to drive about 20 miles an hour and that it is ok if everyone passes me. I take comfort in knowing that if I wreck it will not be my doing. I like the cold. The snow is just so new to me. I have lived in Florida for twenty something years and I have always known that I preferred the cold weather to the sticky, sweaty, humid Florida. Although, I do miss all my friends there.

I also did some painting yesterday. This is my second attempt at painting a fox. I didn’t get very far on the first one. It was a very rigid looking fox and looked very forced. It will be gessoed for a future painting. This is the one that I finished

So, I just have to say sometimes life is uncanny or strange or any of those kinds of descriptions. Is there such a thing as fate? Do we really see signs of what is or what is to come? I have no idea. I only know that I got this fortune in my fortune cookie last night. And for a moment I was excited by the idea that it could be true:


I know it is just a factory printed fortune in a factory made cookie, but the odds that I, a self-representing artist, could get that fortune is pretty cool. And a little inspiring.

I also had the pleasure of playing with some pics on my asus memo pad, grand machine that it is.This is one of the ones that I did. A little disturbing, but fun nevertheless.



It is a pic of my face, distorted by a fisheye filter- then painted up like a scary carnival clown. Fun, isn’t it?

Hares are finished!

It was cold and snowing this morning and I had to run errands. I did finish the hares, though. It is still untitled, but I wanna show it anyway. This painting is for sale and I will have prints up on etsy just as soon as I get this baby scanned. Image
This photo is a bit truer to the original than the pics in my previous posts. I just found my camera from the move.
