Sweet Squares 22 and 23

I haven't been here in a while. The death of my Dad took me away. I miss him. The winter here has been very gray. Overcast and windy or raining and windy. Bleak. Sun deprivation is not fun so I made a square to stare at and think warm, bright thoughts.


I made another square because I'm revising a picture book text and I need to play with the images in my mind's eye in order to figure out how I'll illustrate the text.


Lots of projects going on in 2013. More on that soon.

  2. Dana, very sorry to hear of your loss. I know how you feel. My own Dad passed away at the end of 2009 and I miss him terribly too. He was so proud of me - and I know your Dad must have been proud of you. Impressed with your creative response!

  5. Sorry to hear about your father, Dana. How difficult to have such a loss. I hope this year has been good to you. I'll go over to your new postings to see your picture book articles. But here, I do like your bright square to encourage cheerfulness. I do feel it!
