You know its realllly cold when even salt water freezes!
Layers of ice forming on Chapman Cove, Shelton, WA.
Fractured ice....
A giant ice cube nestled in my apple tree.

sunrise...sunset
Standing on the waters edge,
I'm completely surrounded by color....
Every day is a unique experience...
a grey day but the sun peeks out...
a reflective glow...
floating....
mist rising...

Beauty Found in Decomposition
The fallen leaves are slowly decomposing,
leaving behind holes that look
like lacework.
The cycle of life....
the decaying leaves will
fuel the forest with nutrients for new growth come next Spring.

Drip, drip, drip
'Burst' ( in process) Barbara De Pirro
'Ripple' ( in process) Barbara De Pirro
In a recent exhibit, 'Art of the Garden' at Schack Art Center, I introduced several new sculptures but these two specifically use a new technique of dripping color down the surface.
Theses are just a few images showing the process.
