December is here and the mercury is falling. It’s time for some comfort food, perhaps a little taste from the heat of summer?
Crimson Dynamo
Still Life
Harvest Red
Most of the red leaves around our home have fallen. I’ve managed to preserve one of those flame-like beacons of autumn in today’s painting.
Red Sky at Night
Maybe the painting should be sub-titled “Just another Ship in A Bottle”.
The ship enclosed in this mason jar however is an image of The Melita. It was the passenger ship that carried a young Phoebe Connor, her parents, brothers, and sister to Canada as they immigrated in 1920’s. The aforementioned Phoebe was my mom, so the Melita at least to me will never be just another ship.
Licorice Pyramid
How did they make those ancient architectural marvels? Today’s post “Licorice Pyramid” offers no clear answers, but is still a tasty treat.
Licorice Hi-Rise
Elevated above the indigo sea rests the “Licorice Hi-Rise”.
At least until the sweet tooth kicks in.
Licorice Gold
Today’s post is another homage to the humble licorice confectionery (albeit one clothed in gold).
Licorice Rose
Better than Lego because you can eat them. They are simply towers of tasty fun.
Spring Song
Sounds and sites all fresh and new, morning arrives earlier each day and the world is alive with possibility. Today’s painting “Spring Song” is a painting of one of the heralds of this most anticipated season.
Gem Stones
Today’s post is one of my “Preserve” paintings. The items preserved are gem stones. Well, actually they are glass marbles and a CBC button. Everyone has their own ideas about what gems are.
The Best Preserve
It’s been quite a year, full of dark days for far too many. The only way to really deal with any of it is to have a sturdy dose of ” The Best Preserve”. I’m hoping that in the coming days you will have it poured out on you, and in turn, you will shower it on others.
