one of many ideas begun years ago, finally worked to a place i can stop. my experience shows in a way no painting is safe, as in finished, as long as it is here in the studio. in a way it can seem like traveling thru time. coming back to a painting even a year later, and now continuing to work on it, looking at it afresh with the added experience of a years painting inbetween may offer changes that would never have been realized a year before.

fun beaver dam atop a 6 foot hill so able to stand near edge water at eyeball level / had to stop myself from doing a doggie paddle over to the lodge. ok may a breaststroke, were it not that it was frozen and snowcovered yet leaking leaking leaking creating a rivulet wandering in among the pines below…..the ground was soaked i was soaked, it was misting more than raining as i followed the leak to where joining the ditch at the side of the road it held less interest and i walked back into the moment in time the pines the jump-able (were the ground not soaked on the other side) streamette, creature from the lagoon wet hair and down filled jacket a drizzled soak wiping the condensation off the windows sipping thermos coffee in a steamed up jeep only to see the last of the snow being washed away a perfect novembers day drive back in the dark with the day playing over and different in my head.

unable to anticipate how anyone would want anything framed, we rarely frame work up front, offering the work unframed, ( can cut acid free matting / backing) offering our clients framing allowances on each work, so they can not only frame works exactly the way they see them, but work with their own personal framers
