Sunday morning. Cool and calm.

I have read some poetry. (Mary Oliver today.) Enoyed my first coffee.

How about a stroll into the studio to see what’s going on?

(I walked through once, on my way to the driveway for the paper. A few things caught my eye. Now I’ll look a bit more intentionally.)

Out through the door. This is the scenic laundry room I pass through from our living room to the studio.

There on the worktable.

Some stencils I cut yesterday, and one I have drawn but not cut yet. I am interested in how those shapes will go together, and overprint. Future discoveries.

There on my easel is a piece I just completed. Time for you to go up on the storage rack. It’s been a pleasure visiting with you, my old friend.

There on my sewing table one of the framed collages I created lately

I made a few of these and introduced them on my website. I did not sell as many as I had hoped. (Shoot!) But I like these a lot and it is pleasing for me to look at them.

Here are the very beginnings of some paper collages. I love these neutral color monotype backgrounds. (Collaging onto 140#watercolor paper, taped to a board while working.) From this point, anything can happen!

And, there outside my studio door, an inquisitive squirrel in the birdbath.

(You’ll just have to trust me on this one. He was there just before I shot the picture and I scared him away. I am confident he and a number of his bird friends will be back for a number of visits today to entertain me.)

And here am I. In  this place, open to what the day will bring.
