More work

It's a little awkward right now...But we'll see.

My Grandmother's sewing machine

Ok Mithi...or any other reader I may have who knows little about sewing.l I want to use the machine to stitch shapes into my canvas before I stretch and paint it. I think I need both a darning foot and a darning plate. Does anyone know if I've got it right in the photo above?

Ohio

A very young painting I began this only a few days ago after my first visit to our local Pearl Paint store. As we traveled across the country I was struck by the presence of birds in wintery climes. This image reminds me of the cardinals that had remained behind in Ohio's Amish counties.
