Twisted Tree with Church

Starting to go outsides and paint. The trees are still bare, and it is still cold (< 10 C). This is a little church 200 m from out place. A pretty little thing.

Comparing Apples and Oranges

This is a study of complementary colors, the orange and the blue. And it also was a study of the fabric and how the light hits it.

Acrobats

The acrobats came to pose in our life drawing session. Amazing what they could do.

A Man supporting a Woman

The less traditional approach of a man's support of a woman.
We had acrobats as models in our life drawing session. These were amazing people. This pose was 20 min. long. For 20 min. the man stood motionless with the woman on his shoulders.

Who put those there?

no shortage of mountains in Switzerland

The hills are alive with the sound of music

The Rigi, above Viznau in Switzerland.

Tree in a Bucket - why not?

This is my favorite little plant around the house. The two little trunks are so happy wrapped around each other.

Chicago

Brass Sax, I like the reflections in the brass, they are complicated, and maybe I need to try this again.

Cozy

The reflection in the window at night show the city life and lights of the buildings across the street.

Sheep blending into the landscape

What struck me on this image, a photo I took near  Kivik on the Baltic coast, is that the sheep blend perfectly  into the landscape. There are centuries of fine tuning evolution at work, until everything is just right. Like the ultimate craftsman, never ceasing to refine his craft.

I only wish we could work with this intensity, consistency, and endurance at our craft.
