Must have patterned these wings

To distort the morning light

And reflect upon flowering leaves

Confidence

Did not elude this magnificent creature

Who at once strode forward

With both delicacy

And strength

A combination of steps which

Indemnified him

Against the occasional puddles

And problems

Is uprooted

By helium vessels

That float

I met up with an old acquaintance for coffee yesterday. He’s an artist I knew from when I lived in Wyoming and he was heading back that direction after showing some work up in Vail. It was great to sit and chat with him because not only is he super nice, he is a great example of what can happen if you keep working at the thing you love.

I was really excited to be able to share my work with him and get some feedback. We talked about some different ways I could experiment with my pierced paper pieces – including really pushing the holes further to create more form. So when I got back yesterday I spent some time staring at a marble and poking holes to try to capture the little sphere.

Overall I’m pretty happy with it. There is room for improvement, but the exercise was good in that it let me see I can really push the paper much farther than expected.

You can buy this piece!

One of the many perks of living at our particular KOA campground is that there is a lovely little pond that is often filled with ducks and geese. I’ve only ever jogged or walked around the thing, but because it was another gorgeous day yesterday I decided I would take my drawing waterside. I sat quietly, watching and listening to the ducks. I was enthralled. Where ice met water, they dove under searching for food. They flapped their wings in smooth take offs and their webbed feet worked as brakes as they came in for splash landings. I need to watch these birds more often.

A brilliant blue sky and temps in the 50s once again teased me yesterday. I know better than to think spring is upon us mid-February, but I couldn’t help myself. Sitting on the deck of a local brewery, I basked in the sun, enjoyed the great company of friends and chose to ignore the fact that snow and cooler temps were being predicted for Wednesday.
