Dragonflies and Bonfires

I love this time of the year. There is something about the cold and quality of the light that makes everything take on a quiet, mystic beauty.

Last night we had a gathering at our house, and there was a beautiful moment when I was sitting by the fire (we had a sitting-room area set up outside and under a tarp due to the rain). A dragonfly landed on my friend's finger. It sat there, perched, illuminated by the light of the fire and by the shaded lamp we had set up. It was only there a moment and then landed inside the lamp. It stayed there for most of the night, staring at the light-bulb.

LINO LISCIOUS

As I've said time and time again, I really suck at this blog thing. Regardless, I'd like to show you some of the work that I've been doing recently.

I am back in California (sigh)... But I've been doing a lot of printmaking.

Bugs. Self-portraits. People with flowers growing out of their heads.

You know. The usual.

Anyhoo. I bet you're thinking; shut-up already and give me the photos! Reading hurts my brain!

BY THE WAY: http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html SO COOL.

So Terrible photos. I'll Try and get some better ones up. All of these are lino-cuts. The middle one is a lino-cut reduction.... really interesting and cool technique. Makes me want to throw a chair across the room when I am not in the mood to be patient... but that's okay.

Lots of love.
