Light Offerings

"Light Offerings"
9x10" mixed media on w/c paper

Winter trees offer twiggy brown consolation with their stand tall, endure it all, reaching high to stitch the sky with hope for spring. Magically, they produce light offerings to bless the cold spaces.

Happy New Year

I have traded the big sea breaths of sibilant surf for the little creek views of home; frosty, icy, tinkling scenes and sounds. I left behind sea glass and hagstones and sugar beet-strewn sands and now walk silver trails, sugar-frosted, white, crisp, and cold. My gaze is filled with evergreens and twiggy brown branches, my ears filled with the winter songs of jay, crow, cardinal, and chickadee-dee-dee. Home.
