and it's Wednesday!


Everyone getting along with their collages beautifully today.
 

 
Peggy's second one finished this session.  Here, she embellished a painting that she had done a while ago.  The bird loves it!
 

Marge just about finished with the one above and, below, beginning a new one.
 




Valerie finished her background and now has a job ahead
of her...
 

 
creating pussy willow branches.
 
 
 Lovely!
 
 
Looking down the tables at Sandy's and Bernie's work.
 
 
Sandy's wonderful sheep from a photo she took in New Zealand.
 
 
Bernie is creating a scene to put a path in for a bicyclist; a favorite past time.
 
 
Lora Lee, finishing her beautiful koi and lily pond.
 
 
Love that fish!
 
 
Busy...busy.
 


 
Barb and her beautiful purples!  A fanciful purple garden and sky.
 
 
And these two lovely little landscapes by Denise.

and on Monday...


Cynthia has been working very hard on her spring collage, trying for a "folk art" feel.
 

 
A beautiful job, a few more ideas, and it'll be finished in next week's class...
 
 
and Mary was getting all her papers prepared and has plans to use some packing material, so can't wait to see how that works!
 
 
Meanwhile, look who was raiding the birdfeeder.  Oh, Squirrel-y - I know you're hungry too!
 
 
All the critters are coming out.  This is the beautiful bunny who lives under my neighbor's deck.  I get to watch him every day from my window.
 
 
Snow again overnight, but spring is coming!

the thaw...


The Thaw...
 

 
continues...
 

Boots for the cowgirls


The girls got new cowgirl boots for their horseback riding lessons and just look at them!  Nice... and glitzy too!
 
 
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo...

a new week...


The beginning of a new spring collage for my classes, I am still seeing snow and the ground struggling to overcome it.  I'll be naming it "The Thaw".

...and the rest of the story


Someone was hiding in my tree, keeping warm on yesterday's snowy morning.
 


There he is...
 




But he heard something...
 


oh...oh...
 


it's the snow blower!
 

 
So he moved to the next further tree to watch...
 



Well, for a while any way...
 

 
and then he thought he better move on back to his nest.   Safer there.
