As I hear rain and sleet flicking against the window behind me and watch the weatherman on TV predicting snow all day tomorrow, I try to convince myself that it is, indeed, Spring. I have purchased a little primrose plant and some tulips from the supermarket, to tide me over until shoots actually push through the hard winter soil. Spring will come, but it is definitely taking its time!
This morning we had a beautiful dawn, as recorded by my neighbor in this photo of my house. This is the back of the house and you can see the porch I love so much over to the right. Unfortunately I was still sleeping at the time this was taken and missed the lovely show!
I've been taking an evening class in Paper Collage this month and it's been a lot of fun. We have one more class left, then we'll go on to a new one - possibly drawing. The same core group of people (including me) take classes together, so we have great camaraderie and many laughs as we work.
The first piece is the one I'm working on, and a sampling of others' creations are below
We are doing these pieces on canvas with an acrylic medium holding the paper in place.
I hope all who read this will have a great weekend.
I'm crossing my fingers that this will be our last snowfall of the year!
Happy Spring!!
