Confection: Mixed Media Original and Prints - the Un-dreary Project

It's getting more and more grey in the mid-Atlantic, with only a few days bringing snow but many having the feel and look of snow.

I'd much prefer a white reflection outside my window than a permeating murkiness.

Now, distracting with their lights, colors and general sparkle, the holidays occupy me. But in January the somber grey will still be here.

It's then that murky sky will start to chip away at me with a seeping melancholy.

It may be that I am tilting at windmills, but my project now is -

• working on light images,
• avoiding darkness when I can,
• hoping to keep the dreariness at bay as long as possible.

Confection, shown here (- click on image to get a closer look -) is a mixed media art piece on an acid-free ground. The original was produced in December 2005 as part of my un-grey project.

It's as un-dreary as I could imagine, with blues and pinks with touches of lavender, peach, and even some greens and yellows.
