First Real Snow

It's snowing and the meadow is gray and frosted. A warm fire and waffles make a cozy Sunday morning. I've decided that the red tray thing has to be like Haiku...seasonal. I think it's what makes a project like 3191 A Year of Mornings and the new 3191 A Year of Evenings work. The resonance with the photographs comes, at least partly, as a celebration of the present season.

Red Tray

I've been browsing the 3191 A Year of Evenings online and I saw a shot that inspired me to start making little compositions of everyday objects on the same red tray. I think I'll try it for awhile and see what happens. It's a celebration of the ordinary, which is so important to stop and notice. Thank you Maria and Stephanie for the fascinating project.

About the House

This is the way it is around the house today. I love this book on Kiki Smith...she is such a rich and risk-taking artist. I have been working on a few new pieces, and the studio is a mess. Please...have you ever seen such a handsome cat?
