SPRING IS COMING part III (with lots of love)





Spring is coming, & don't you forget it. Just between you & me, I'm not wearing socks today. (scandalous) and tomorrow for the "christening of the nut" at my new Denver art studio at the Walnut Workshops it's supposed to be in the 60's!! I do believe I'll wear a li'l floral dress...

The Daydream
This morning I awoke early with images and colors dancing in my head. It was blustery and still a little dark out but I was eager to get started. Donning my winter slippers and with french roast in hand I began the Daydream. When a color palette is working one fun idea can give way to lots more and doodles evolve into finished pieces and patterns. The first image created was the still life bird perched on top of a cage. A flower, some spectacles and a steaming cup of coffee completed the still life. The daydream element evolved from the tree, I think...I imagined a girl falling into a deep sleep under the tree. Anyways, I'm definitely enjoying this color palette and the use of the white. More to come for sure.
