    tasty. I like the tangle of plastic pieces in the foreground leading up to the artist and the canvas.

    I removed my previous comment AFTER I read the commentary you've placed below your header. I'm so glad to hear your back in the studio working. It makes complete sense that you would seek movement in a changing sky (and hasn't this been the winter for that?)

    So...are you also returning to Persephone? It's interesting how dead ends can open up a plethora of associations. And you have such a great studio to work it all out from. Western light; gorgeous!

    arf!: Those plastic pieces remain my favorite work. I did them sooo long ago and in reality, they also lead to the current work.

    PasAdj: It remains to be seen whether I actually do return to Persephone. Some time I may tell you a story about it.

    You're talking about a Finnegan when you say PersePhone?

    SG, I wish I had your studio just for the wunderful SkyViews!

    I love your space and Persephone's flow through it. And the gray sky studies are wonderful in and of themselves. Could this photo be another view of the same moment that's captured in your profile photo?

    Cafe:That's funny. Could be a name for a phone.

    Petrea:Thank you. I do rather like the skies in gray too. It's good to get this feed back.
    And yes, the photo was shot at same time as my profile photo.

    Cafe: Back to that PersePhone. Would that be something like "Dial-A-Goddess"?
