Piano Ladies and Night Snow

Already shoveled this out this afternoon!

I worked on the piano ladies today... and many other ones today too! (ahh, nice to get in some good painting days!!) This is another work in progress - I like to have several going at one time. I work on one for awhile... then when I'm 'spent' I'll move to a different one. I'm posting about another wip over at Take 5 Paintings, so check it out! ( I've also added 2 new paintings to the shop and will probably add another one tomorrow.)

**On the flip side... look at all that snow! I'm doing bunches of laundry for fear we'll loose power. I heard on the news this is apparently 'The perfect storm' and much different than the meteorologists could have predicted. It may mirror or surpass a record from 1950 where they got 14 inches of snow in 24 hours. Yikes, I feel the cabin fever coming on already! At least the kids have adequate snow boots this year.. I can tire them out by running around and sledding in it.

Tadpole Hunting and Snow

Here is my woodcut that is progressing along quite nicely. There are so many leaves to focus on and cut with my hanga-tu (spelling!? It's phonetically correct, though.)
As soon as I clear more areas, I'll do a crayon rubbing and post it.



Here is a nice, fluffy tree near the corner of my deck, it normally reaches the railing but, the snow is so heavy it has flattened it out, practically to the ground! We were out shoveling snow for about 2 hours today, I can't believe the amount we've gotten in 24 hours. In a word... snowbound.
Just please let us not lose power, I need the computer, bath water and a way to keep the restless kids fed!!
