A piece for #Brickbottom Open Studios in #SomervilleMA this weekend. Text: "The birds' way of returning, the bird's way of leaving behind the sea - when I lean on these ways, I find support for my legs." - from a Siberian shamanic song.
"Estuary Moon", by Jen Fries, collage on canvas showing flying geese, silhouetted against a giant half moon, above city skyscrapers, in shades of blue, gray, and silver. Natural dried grasses collected by the artist at the Mystic River Estuary, Boston, MA, give a 3d element in the foreground. Handwritten text reads "The birds' way of returning, the bird's way of leaving behind the sea - when I lean on these ways, I find support for my legs." Text is adapted from a translated shaman's song from Siberia.

Last minutes of Caturday.
Absolutely adorable silver gray long-haired cat with sleepy eyes and little pink tongue sticking out and paws tucked up, looking up lazily from mommy's lap.

More winter art. Year of the Rabbit 2023. I'm a rabbit year person, and a January Aquarius, and that year, January had a super moon, so of course, I painted it.

A few days in, and I'm figuring out how I want to use Bluesky. It's going to be a mix of art, writing, life, and opinions. This is social, so it's about getting to know who you're dealing with.

Mood of the day: (watercolor on recycled cotton paper)
Watercolor painting of a wintry landscape.

Open Studios went swimmingly. My thanks to the organizers, my lovely hosts, and the wonderful folks who bought my art. I put some closing thoughts about inspiration on my blog.
