Finally got my blog up again - actually don't have any idea what happened to it in the first place - suddenly vanished. 

Finished a new piece today - did not much else - a Valentine fae.  I suddenly got inspired by the colors in the piece after it was nearly finished to do a Valentine fairy.  Turned out nicely.  I broke down and bought a ton of hot press paper a couple weeks ago (on sale!) and it has been a good change from my usual cold press.  You can really get a lot more fine detail.

Beautiful weather here, though cold at night.  Need to get some exercise and outdoor air tomorrow.  Helps the creative juices flow.  I moved my art room (partially) upstairs and the window by my table looks out at nothing but trees, sky, and the bluff we call Castle Rock which divides the canyon.  So lucky to have the view.   There are always vultures circling, sometimes against the grey sky it is ominous. 

Well, I'm going to publish this and see if it works - lol.
