My goodness, the last Sunday in January 2014 - now where did that month go? All month long we have all been waiting for this 'Polar Vortex' to end, now it appears that we have a new cold I front from 'Siberia' and the meteorologists are forecasting this to happen right into the first week of February and maybe longer. We'll just have to make light of it - such as a marquee posted in front of a church stated "For all of those people praying for snow - please stop!"
This past week I did two small paintings for +Crispur's Jan 17th WDE (Weekend Drawing Event, Wet Canvas) - the first "Parrot Fish" measures 4-1/4in. x 4-1/4in. using both interference and iridescent watercolors and the second "Sea Turtle" is 6in. x 9in. using both alcohol and salt for the water as well as iridescent watercolor for the turtle's shell. The sad thing is that the beauty of iridescent paints are not picked up on computer screens. Again I have used virtual frames to finish the pieces, as in all artwork framing is important.

Well that's all for this week, please stay safe and especially if you have to drive.
Love the parrot fish!
