Rainy Day

After being out and about for a few days, I'm doing some color work... playing around at home. The marsh is alive with many birds and ducks. We even witnessed a bald eagle swooping down to catch a duck and flying away with it and landing in a tree to devour the meal. This eagle we observed is now often on the nest. Its Spring.

My marks on the pages of my sketchbook/journal help me to become more aware of my surroundings; a visual diary and sequential record of days of my life. Sometimes I'm working from my car, an "onsite studio". Almost always these drawings are "drawn on location".

My knitting and my weaving are other ways for me to explore color and texture; to use my hands to create and build up. Again the choices are a sequential record. The inches, feet and yards of cloth become a "journal", similar to the way pages eventually make up a book. I prefer to weave the design as I go along rather than to have it all figured out ahead of time.
