Groundhog Week

The snarling little weasel saw his brilliantly bold shadow this morning, so I guess winter will last as long as winter is supposed to last. This past week I've been busy studying the big world around me, and the small world here in the studio. On Monday evening the sky lit up in a blaze of glory again, so I scrambled to try to capture the quickly changing colors.

I carved out a few more quick studies of difference objects, including another green apple, and a pomegranate, and a single red rose in a vase.
