Last night our wonderful Christmas tree came down and was dragged out to the curb. Not a fitting end to something so joyous and beautiful. It was surprisingly warm out with a pretty snow falling. The studio is a national disaster area with lots of boxes and clutter waiting to be packed up with the rest of the Christmas decorations. All of which is a major job before any printmaking can begin again. Not wanting to start my blogging year off late I took some of my plates out to the backyard and played. We have wonderful neighbours who decorate their backyard, which made for a great background for my spontaneous art installation.
I really do not enjoy the winters anymore, and had pretty much made up my mind not to do any winter outdoor art installations. It wasn't so bad, so a big maybe to whether or not I will do anymore.
I had to work fast, the snow was covering up my installation faster then I could click! I call this one "Snow Pie"
Lots of copper etching and a large evolving woodcut piece to be worked in the very near future. As soon as I finish blogging today I will start again with the packing and tidying up of house and studio. It was truly a glorious Holiday Season! All the effort was worth it. I only have one regret, everyone was too busy going in many different directions for a Christmas music night here at the house. But, I did get to enjoy lots of Christmas music concerts elsewhere.*****************
The family with friends went on a glorious sleigh ride during the holiday time. I have included a few of the snow pictures from the sleigh ride with the slide show of this weeks art installation.

Happy Printmaking Everyone
