Gathering Light

Happy dance! Happy dance happening in the studio! Pam just sent the invitation for her solo exhibition which opens next Thursday at the Kansas Union Gallery of the University of Kansas.

I'm so excited for her!!! (you can't tell, can you?) Having been there when Pam is midst the creative process during our annual artist retreats, I can tell you that this is a show worth seeing. So, if you're in the Lawrence, Kansas area January 23 - February 10, go! Go see how Pam gathers light and what she does with it.

Ice

Before the little urchins caught the bus this morning, they pulled a sled in from the yard that had been out during the weekend's rain. The night's cold had turned the rain to ice in the most magnificent way.

Needless to say, I couldn't resist getting a few shots.

After school, Ellie thought it would be fun

 to play with the ice

and make a mosaic of sorts. Ice flower, anyone?

Snow falling

Last fall,

 I set some of my rusty bits outside

for Mother Nature to enjoy

and restore.

Seems She's still having fun with them.

Searching for Roy G Biv - Reminder

It's cold outside

Searching for Roy G Biv in 2014

 Julie and I would like to announce round 3 of Searching for Roy G Biv. For those who are just now tuning in, let me give you a little background.

In a 2012 blog post, Julie mentioned a Mr Roy G Biv. Being unacquainted with him myself, a quick Google inquiry was undertaken...which left me shaking my head in despair! Asking my husband if he knew Mr Biv brought much laughter...from him, not me. My head was hanging so low by then that it was dragging the floor.

You see, while Julie and my husband had learned the colors of the rainbow as RedOrangeYellow  Green  BlueIndigoViolet, I learned them simply as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Out of innocence, shame and more than a few belly laughs, the Search for Roy G Biv was born.

On the 3rd Thursday of each month, you are invited to join the fun by posting photos on your blog that focus on the color of the month. If you let us know that you're participating via a comment on either blog, we will reference you and link to your blog. Originally, 5 photos were suggested, but we were having so much fun that that guideline was quickly forgotten.

The 2014 calendar is below. As you can see, a few colors have been added after the proper Roy G Biv search. We're open to ideas of colors - the metallics, for instance, or turquiose - so if there's a color you're passionate about, just let us know.

January 16 - red

February 20 - orange

March 20 - yellow

April 17 - green

May 15 - blue

June 19 - indigo

July 17 - violet

August 21 - pink

September 18 - black

October 16 - white

November 20 - brown

December 18 - blogger's choice

Julie and I try to remember to post a reminder each preceding Thursday. Life gets hectic and Mr Biv slips into the background. We understand. Participation is totally optional, but as far as we're concerned, the more, the merrier. See you on the 16th!
