Symbols

Inspired by my visit to Pat's house this week:   Symbols 1

Pastel and ink on mulberry paper

From Pat's house:

Beautiful.

Lines and Mountains

Some recent drawings:

Mountains and lines feed me.

Coming to Light

I found some great used books at Green Mountain Books yesterday.  One, written in Japanese, has wonderful paper for block printing.  My first attempt:

......yes,  I think so....

The Nature of Things

Time in the woods...

My dad's cottage

Bird's nest on the Red Cottage

The 200 year old log cabin my dad reconstructed (see Dad's Toy Post)

Some house guests

Sweet!

Reed tries the berries

The front of the cottage

Love.

Sailing Away into the Mountains

On the way to the Adirondacks by way of Burlington Ferry:

Above the mist veil
From time to time
The lake lifts a sail.
                         - Gakoku

Lines and Circles

Filled with this image for days and now it's ink and paper.

Something about black ink on the white mulberry paper satisfies me.

I hope you can find some way to stay cool today.

Little Boxes

Oh, to be a box that could keep you safe.
