Winter into Spring
Winter into Spring #1
This series of mixed media collages is about the transition from winter to spring. There are lingering winter snowflakes, mixed with the bright new greens of spring growth and an early blossom here and there.
The collages include hand painted and printed papers and cloth, and also incorporate pieces of some of my watercolor paintings. If you'd like to see the entire series, please click here.

Radiance Series
Radiance #1
6"h x 5"w, mounted to 10" x 8"
This is the first piece in a new series of mixed media collages. The inspiration for these collages was all of the beautiful glowing colors that are created when the sunlight shines through the autumn leaves as they are changing colors, and the happy feeling I get when I see those colors.
The collages are created entirely with papers that I have painted and printed just for this series of work. There are six collages in all. Please click here to see the entire series.

More Leaves
Concentric
Another watercolor of leaves, using a new technique for the background. I like that this new technique gives me the ability to have a solid black background. It really makes these leaves dramatic!
I am probably done painting leaf scenes now that snow is on the ground here. I do have a new idea sketched on my watercolor block though. I want to paint the snow covered terraces in the fields of our farm, so that will keep me going for a while.

Pomeranian Puppies
Belle (female)
This morning I photographed three little 5 week old pomeranian puppies for the Nebraska Pomeranian Rescue. They weigh about 2 pounds, so you can imagine how small they are! The male doesn't have a name because he is already spoken for, but his new family hasn't named him yet. The two females are still available for adoption through the rescue.

Home Again
The setting for the retreat center is beautiful --- acres along the East Nishnabotna River, and the weather was gorgeous! The leaves were mostly gone in the woods, but there was fungi everywhere, and I took a couple hundred photographs. Because of the wooded setting, there were also numerous varieties of birds. The nuthatch above was perched near our deck one morning.
