Enough is enough. Too much snow and ice. Too much white. My soul craves color -- luscious, edible color!
So today I went rummaging through drawers, in dark corners where things are stashed from years ago, from times when one was just learning and yet hesitant to toss out those small fledgling paintings that helped spur the creative act yet seemed so elementary, so child-like at the time . . .
Well, I dug through those little guys and found I was laughing, mostly at the titles I had given them! But the colors made me smile and counter-acted the grimness of what lay beyond the windows. So I will share them with you in the hopes that they make you smile, too:

| An Intense Pair of Pears |
I can only think that this series was painted because I was hungry; must have been dieting for my daughter's wedding --

Just look at those lewd colors -- what was I thinking???

| Bouquet in Shadow |
And with this painting, I leave you with thoughts of spring to come, of flowers and birdsong, of balmy breezes wafting through your hair, of an exquisite bead of sweat trickling down the back, of bare feet on a warm deck and a chilled glass of wine close at hand . . . ah, perchance to dream!
Now pardon me as I have to go back out there and chip away at a frozen driveway . . . ugh.
