They All Fall Down

I had this video shared to me on Facebook. So I looked up the photographer, Mark Mesenko.
Beautiful Work! Want to have his backyard!
Here is also a link to his website:

Please check it out.

Hope he doesn't mind me resharing the video here.

Encaustic works

Finished a couple of small encaustic paintings today. Here are the photos. I'll have to try and take better ones later. The surface is so silky and lustrous that it is hard to get a good focus. They are untitled at this time.

Signs of Spring? NOT

February thaw is upon us. Mother Nature toying with us.
We had rain and now have a lake in our yard. When it freezes, we'll be skating!

Foxy

Looking for signs of spring but not finding much. Here is a photo taken two years ago in February near Yarker, Ontario. A lot less snow on the ground that year.

February 14 U know what that means!

Here are a few ideas from Paris!

Winter Project

As winter is dragging on, I decided to tackle my indoor project of fixing the guest room.
Peeling wallpaper is a thankless job!.
I may have to rethink wall coverings.

Etching

Another of Dave's etchings. This one fits the season. It's called "Above Snow Lake".

The photo doesn't do it justice.

Beauty of ice

More Winter.
These were taken last winter.

Rock On!

I took a few photos of rock cuts yesterday. Dave commented that they looked like abstract art. Here is a sampler of photos of rocks. What do you think?

ground hog day

Harrowsmith Harry did not see his shadow today. But it's unlikely he made it out of his hole due to the two feet of ice and snow on the ground. Spring is on the way!!

Memories of Giverny

Monet's gardens in Giverny, France were a wonderful experience. A contemplative time after trying to fit all the sights of Paris into a once in a life time visit in September 2013. Here are a few views that inspire me as they inspired Monet.
