Maple Syrup







7x5 oil on panel
Maple Syrup!  This was our first year giving it a go.  It was interesting learning the process and seeing it all come together.  Taking this sweet water and boiling it down into this sweet sticky nectar was, well............ pretty damn sweet!   Talking to people who have done it before said it was fun.  It took 2 days, 10 gallons of sap,  and buttload of patience to produce this one jar O fun.   Well worth it!

Ceremonial Bells


Here is a work in progress.  This one has been temporarily tossed to the back burner for now. The background blues just aren't doing it for me.  I'm going to eventually bump down the saturation of that blue or maybe change it completely and see what happens.  If that doesn't work, the scissor are coming out and I might cut out the parts I like.  We'll see.
