Binge watching all those Netflix etc programs is a good idea. Do you read books? I love my Kindle - puts me to sleep sometimes, too! I won't be watching the inauguration of the tweeting man-child. You take care and let us know how you're doing.Melody Clearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793115141011175217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-74906042978366174472017-01-13T07:42:23.067-08:002017-01-13T07:42:23.067-08:00How terrible to be without power and heat!

I do hope, however, that you have warmed back up and have been able to venture out into the snow. We aren't often blessed with this heavy and blanket of white followed by days of clear skies and low temperatures. It's perfect for seeing the effect of sunlight on snow and all the various colors that are produced. I am amazed by the brilliance of the blues in shadow when the sun is coming through the snow toward you. And though our eyes tell us the snow is white, it can often be very far down the value scale and requires a medium blue or violet to capture the look of it. I'd love to see your take on all these colors. It's a fascinating challenge that won't be around here for much longer.<br /><br />I love the three new works on Yupo. I tend to forget about that material until I see what you can do with it.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320277970095573853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-68810909273964853802017-01-13T06:01:08.514-08:002017-01-13T06:01:08.514-08:00What a shock to the system to have this much snow ...What a shock to the system to have this much snow and cold! Yes, it doesn't take long for a house without power to get chilled and you start layering or just get into bed, but I understand (had that happen when I lived in Indiana and it was out for 2 days = harsh; but I still had a home with a fireplace going and could sleep in front of that on blankets). I wish your knee replacement surgery was over and you were well on your way to healing as I know the anxiety about it is probably worse than the pain you will feel while recovering. Yes, t.v. is the great numbing agent of our time so get into some shows and, as they say, binge watch! ha ha. Love these paintings; they don't really need names as I'm sure they evoke different things for different viewers. As for the inauguration, I think I'm depressed as a lot of people are and I try to avoid the news as much as possible now (which isn't the adult thing to do but sometimes you just have to admit you can't take it). Stay safe and warm - and sane :)RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-89001278055008462342017-01-13T03:28:37.253-08:002017-01-13T03:28:37.253-08:00Randall,

Equilibrium is tenuous isn't it?<br /><br />I like all 3 pieces shown. The hot and cold of that second landscape though. Biblical for me. And then your beautiful lines in the third piece. They look fluid and effortless. <br /><br />I am sure everyone has told you what to do post surgery. It's hard to accept but the main thing you are doing is healing. It becomes the only thing. Eventually other stuff joins it but for awhile, that is what you are doing.<br /><br />Good luck! Be well and hope to hear from you post op:)<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.com
