cold and dismal

It has just been cold here

no colors

more snow and ice

I am ready for a bit of spring

but I have been creating these same colors in my wood burning and I do enjoy that...

 

metal melting wood

the hot smell I remember

images appear

I think I will add a bit of color to these with a wash of watered down acrylic in spots...

and, as you can see I have been playing with my blog design and banner, this is the third banner I tried this week, I will probably change it a bit more by next week if i have time, just not sure what i want yet...

Happy PPF and Haiku My Heart!

shades of brown

 

My world is drying out a bit,

shriveling up to settle in for the cold

we had snow last week,

it was beautiful driving up the gulch road with rock cliffs or steep hills on each side,

 lined with the feathery dried goldenrod and the red sumac all covered in white puffs,

sorry no photos of that, but plenty of these shades of brown I love.....

like caramelized sugar,

or the seafoam candy my grandma used used to make....

I may have to check the crayon box for names for brown...

"desert sand, Maize, tumbleweed"

 

 

 

 

 

like unbleached linen,

toasted marshmallows not burnt,

or just plain 'ole tan!

And I am trying to be a good blogger and tie my art into the rest of these photos so here's some pages from my sketch book....

 

 

See ya next week!
