The Sunny Pea

18 x 24" Acrylic on canvas "Winter White Lace" We ... well, I... complain so much about the seasons.  When it is hot I want cool.  When it is cold I want warm.  Well, I went away from the cold last week to where it was HOT.  Made me appreciate the beauty I came back to (well, it was 55 when my plane landed so it wasn't hard to appreciate!)  Since I got home, we've had snow.  A LOT of snow.  The 55 degree whether went away and it's been in the 30s.  It is pretty, though! I did this painting today knowing the snow won't be around much longer.  In fact, we are going to spend March in Florida so maybe it will be gone when we get back.  I will appreciate it for today.  As long as I am able to get out the driveway tomorrow that is! Terry is in Washington this weekend.  I am catching the bus to Boston tomorrow to meet him there.

Life's Fragility 12 x 16" Prismacolor Drawing ------------------------------ This a Prismacolor drawing I did several years ago when my son was still very young (he's now 27).  It is called "Life's Fragility".  I purposely focused on his hands so they look large and clumsy holding the fragile orchid.  On one hand he is admiring its beauty and on the other hand he, being a child, could get bored and crush it ... and it would be destroyed. We are all children.  Be aware of life's fragility and careful how you handle it.
