dreaming.....

i like to hibernate

stay inside

clean out my studio

purge my closets

organize my taxes
read a lot

watch old movies

and day dream...............

how many more days 'til spring??

i can't wait to get out there

i love the feel of the dirt in my hands

the winter gives me a chance to rest up,

plan a new layout for part of my garden

it gives me something to focus on

which gets me through the next few months

that

and i'm forced to sit at the computer

the rest of the year i always have an excuse

to be outside

but now i find myself sitting every few hours

playing with my photos

---------

above, one it took up north while

visiting some friends

layered over some texture

the original photo

cropped and added the poster edge filter


a background i made of old book pages and sheet music
covered with gesso
--------
once i layered the two in photoshop
it was fun to try out all the blending modes
