Maple


Finally - I feel vindicated; my friend Teri suggested that I do  some
ten minute pix.  Some real pressure, don't over think, just bang out
 your best.  I have taken to heart in my attempt to produce three
pieces, based on some photos shot after an ice storm with some 
great light the next day.  Thanks Teri - I came up with a great 
series.  And yes I threw out about twenty failures.  Still, the lesson
remains and promise to abandon bad ideas and trust instinct.

Great work! And also, that work you liked on my blog was mine. Unfortunately I didn't get that in the mail, although it would have been nice to get something that size!

These snow pictures are beautiful; I especially Dogwood Veins--the image puzzles me, and it's so evocative. I think your friend Teri had a good suggestion--I'm often stymied by apprehension or uncertainty before I even begin, hoping for some dazzling final product! I tell myself that everythign I do should be practice, but I don't always listen!! (ps Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog!)
