The First

A lovely slow morning, the first of the year. Breezy, balmy, and the clouds rolling in – there’s a twinge of cool in the air. Barefoot in the yard, picking a sweet, juicy tangelo. Indulging my love of books written for children and adolescents. Stacking up my quarter-a-copy books from the Friends of the Library store – on deck is Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Dreaming up dreams for new cards for 2011 – everything seems so light and airy right now. Can I capture that in my paintings and keep it throughout the year? What does 2011 have in store for you?
