Bathgate Dye Job

There is a photograph circulating the web taken by Lesley Voth (Google it) of sheep in Bathgate, Scotland dyed with non-toxic spray paint for the entertainment of passing motorists. Would love to travel there and see them in person but meanwhile thought it would be fun to paint. Here they are!

I spied a couple of large orange kitties on a neighbors porch outside enjoying the warmth today.

Moonlit Path Across Frozen Lake Champlain

While sitting in my living room watching some inane action movie about galactic aliens, I looked out the window to see a bright orange glow rising from OUR own galaxy. I watched intently as the bold full moon slowly crept above the old Essex firehouse. Finding the charisma of the moons strong pull more entertaining than the movie, I made up my mind to brave the 5 degrees and go outside to check it out.

Being in self-imposed winter exile, I donned my winter wear and endeavored to take the longest walk of the season (a matter of yards) down to the lake to catch a glimpse of this marvelous moon shining its golden glory across the frozen vastness. Tramping through the crusty snow, leaving 6″ deep footprints, I found my way down to the lake shore. It was like another world as I walked out onto the ice to follow the moonlit path for a short while until my face and fingers got so cold I couldn’t take it anymore.
