March 9 South of Staples

As I was leaving Staples late this afternoon, I encountered a parking lot worth of light spinning emergency vehicles dealing with some sort of....emergency. Further on down the road, I looked to the east and saw distinct bands of color and texture. It's been a gray day so the entire sky was gray. At the horizon was a band of blue gray trees in the distance with the late winter maroon of red osier dogwood and closer up the mixed texture of last year's grass and snow.

Closer to home, four turkeys paraded in front of me on the road. You get the landscape but not the turkeys.

This looks mighty strange for a teapot and cup. That's what I was going to paint until the first stroke of paint hit the "canvas." After warping the brandy glass yesterday, I was going to warp up a nice tea pot and cup. But then I dipped the brush in the paint and that first stroke laid down such a nice streak of colors that I just ran with it from top to bottom and then decided how to develop it. Nice little winter landscape.
