Mittens ver.2

The coziest of weekends here. Low, grey skies and falling leaves. Reading, musing, one foot perpetually planted in another world. Finishing up Lady Audley's Secret, about to fall into Tin House. I crave something sugar sweet yet tinged with darkness.

Something of the long-ago, the lost in time, the secret desire, the never-coming-back. Quite a contrast, pictorially speaking, to the squirrels and hedgehogs, yet surprisingly born of the same dream.

Care for a story, Louise? I once saw a squirrel lug a breakfast roll - the size of a grapefruit - up the trunk of an impressive tree. Had the thing wrapped in his tail. He had spectators, two squirrels whom I imagine were hungry & envious. No kidding! The funniest thing I ever saw.

I am just smitten with those squirrels in winter clothes. So breathtakingly beautiful. Makes me want to venture into the woods with my camera & a pocketful of nuts.

The first three pictures....so sweet. I wonder what the little colorful floating shapes are? They seem to derive their origins from your strung buntings (the one on your fireplace in particular, from "real life").
But these are more abstract and floating. Or are they hanging from invisible strings from the tree? They add a modern-ish touch to your work, the shapes and tidbits of bright colors, that is.

The photograph with the wildflowers is amazing. Such ambiance.

and...

I love Penny!!

your work makes me feel like I did when I was little. Just kind of peaceful, when you don't need words to say something...make sense?
