Today vs. May

It's STILL snowing. It's been a long time since I can remember it snowing for more than 24 hours without stopping.

Here's what it looks like out my kitchen window vs. the little study I did last May.

"Becoming," said artist Paul Klee, "is superior to being.

In his Painter's Keys eNewsletter, artist Robert Genn says "you need to see your art as a state of becoming. Vigilance and attentive observation during work in progress provides the opportunity. The process takes place with individual works, over a lifetime of trial and error." In art as in life. Laissez le bons temps rouler!
