<\/a><\/p>\nSnow Farm 1<\/em>, Oil on Canvas, 11×20, on an early morning, moving down toward Madison.<\/h6>\nOur daughter (one of four) lives in Minnesota, and my sister (one of three) in Wisconsin. Tamara (daughter) had just given birth to a third daughter of her own and we went to welcome her. And in Wisconsin I wanted to see my sister’s fairly recent situation. It was also a return to where I grew up. Sort of.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSnow Farm 2<\/em>, Oil on Canvas, 12×16, blue on blue in loose style with paint shoveled on, like, well, snow. For larger views of all, click on the pictures.<\/h6>\nIt was my grandparents and sometimes uncles who lived in Wisconsin’s wider places. Dad had us in Milwaukee. But we’d get out on trips sometimes, in the old Nash, cruising over single-lane highways with stomach-sinking dips and Jersey cows on every side. Or were they Guernseys?
\nWas it so beautiful then?
\nIt must have been.
\nThe land is full of majestic barns with handsome silos and smaller-looking two-story houses with glass handles on their doors,
\nall on rolling roads through soft hills left by melting glaciers before anyone was around to see it, much less paint it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSnow Farm 3<\/em>, Oil on Canvas, 12×16, in looser style yet. All intended for desired effect.<\/h6>\nDid I notice how incredibly beautiful it is? Did anybody say it?
\nBetween ages 5 and 12, that’s when snow was only fun,
\nnot work and inconvenience.
\nAnd the cold? It was just something you dress for, with layers and lining, and muffs and scarfs and boots.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSnow Farm 4<\/em>, Oil on Panel, 11×14, (alt. title: “Frosted Cake with Candles”).<\/h6>\nI have wondered, on going back now, how it was anyone settled these places. They must have got their houses up fast, in the summer, before they even knew the hard winds would be blowing and the temperatures dropping and spring such a long time in coming.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSnow Farm 5<\/em>, Oil on Canvas, 18×36, actually a much larger piece than the others shown here, and all the more “abstract.”<\/h6>\nBut these are all perspectives from an outsider now, a softie, long removed to warmer climes. The photos were taken through a windshield. The paintings made in back-home studio. But they were wonderfully fun to make, and I hope, to look at. I could paint many more, as I have the photos. Finding new owners for some of these first would provide the motivation. Which is why I couldn’t resist the following shot.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nArtist in Window<\/em>, Grand Rapids, Minnesota, Dec. 25, 2008, with not unintended subliminal advertising.<\/h6>\nThis is me on Christmas day, braving elements for an afternoon walk with Anne. We came across this fine little art and frame shop across from a bakery. The temperature was zero. We suddenly remembered a phone call we’d planned to make, a Christmas-day greeting to daughter Allison in England, multiple time-zones away. We ducked into the doorway to get out of the wind and with a click on the i-phone we were connected. After that I saw the sign, high on the door window (mirror?) and knew I had to have the picture. It seems quaint, maybe even quirky if it weren’t so well done. It’s not something the bakery across the way would think they needed, like, “Buy Bread.” Bread will be bought, regardless. Art, however, is another thing.
\nEven if, for the soul, just as necessary.<\/p>\n
When your soul gets to craving, let us know.
\n(And no need to wait for Christmas.)<\/p>\n
Until next time.
