"THE ROAD NOT TAKEN"

12" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas

I finished this autumn scene of poplar trees just in time to display it at the Headwaters Art Show at Pynelogs in Invermere last week.

The title is from the Robert Frost poem by the same name.

The reception was a lot of fun and many artists and patrons

were in attendance. You still have time to see our exhibit! 

The show runs until Saturday, June 7th, 2014.

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as long as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth"

"FROST"

4" x 4" Acrylic on Ceramic Tile

My husband built our house nearly 8 years ago. We still have many 4" x 4"

tiles that we never used in our kitchen. I thought I would try applying gesso

and then painting a little scene on one. I found this leaf in my yard that was

frozen on the top of some ice and touched with frost at the edges. It was fun 

to do something so small and relatively quick for a painting.

THE  MAKINGS  FOR  ICE  WINE  AND  COOL  PHOTOS

Over the past few days we have experienced a heavy frost in the mornings. 

The last of my golden raspberries were still clinging to the stems. They 

seemed all the more sweeter for the touch of frost and the knowledge

that I would not enjoy my fresh raspberries again until next season.

I relished the sunshine and found the frosted leaves and berries

very beautiful. Happy Autumn!
