Snow days

 The storm system that is sweeping across the U.S. is over Kansas City.  We're under a blizzard warning and I haven't been in a blizzard since 1994 my first semester in NYC as a freshman at Parson's.  I didn't enjoy snow then & that hasn't changed with age.

I do enjoy shades of white and find calmness in cutting out shapes and adding painted details. 

The view from my studio window is quiet and soft.  While I find snow inconvenient, I'm looking for the beauty in it.  (looking closely....)

I've switched my hand to just painting now.  I feel the need to keep busy when it's cold out & I feel trapped inside.  Blues against white makes me happy!

Antonio & I have been worried about the birds he's made two trips outside to refill the bird feeder and added a bowl of seeds on the ground at a second location.  I loves his big heart and kindness!  We'll wait to shovel until all the snow is done.  It's powdery so it won't be well suited for making a snow friend.  I've had six cups of tea today. (3 early grey and 3 peppermint once I realized I've had too much caffeine.)  Hope you're holding up well if you're also being visited by snow, ice, and severe cold. (or just generally dislike January, which is completely understandable)
