Today's post is of two paintings that I did of trees outside my house during our crazy "snowcation."  It snowed 12 inches in 24 hours that day.  

In my personal life there is big news.  I just quit my job as a librarian.  I've worked in libraries for 18 years... so this it is strange to move onto a new stage of life.  I've been selling enough paintings to create art full-time so... here we are living the dream and moving on.  Bittersweet.

Announcement:  next month I will be painting only flowers!  

This will be called "February Florals" here on the blog.  If any of you fans have photos to contribute please send them my way.   I'll be buying hot house pinkies but I'd love some tropical inspiration.  Let's get through this last stage of winter!

Snowflakes (45)

I counted till they danced so 

Their slippers leaped the town-

And then I took a pencil

To note the rebels down-

And then they grew so jolly 

I did resign the prig-

And ten of my once stately toes

Are marshalled for a jig!

-Emily Dickinson
