Valentine’s Week Drawings
I was in our local grocery story on Tuesday when the teller wished me a Happy Valentines Day. I of course had absolutely no clue what day it was. Even last week I was surprised to find it was my birthday. Anyway, upon the discovery of what day it was, I was able to quickly put a drawing together for Carol as a Valentine while she did her morning pages. The series grew into drawings of a few connected and some disconnected thoughts of the things happening around me this week.

The Narrators’ Dance
Michael has been working on this sculpture off and on for about two months now. Finally he is beginning to see the end of it as it nears completion. The actual figures without the base are 53 inches tall and are mobile so the dynamic of the work changes as the viewer rotates the figures. The width of the sculpture is 27 inches.
