Broadside - March 2011

This is the latest version of this broadside, although I'm not entirely satisfied.  I have widened it, but that isn't so practical for anything but virtual posting at this point,  since it would require a 13" x 19" paper and lots and lots of ink to run off many copies.  Although I did test to see if the ink ran and it did not.  At any rate I feel I'll let it sit awhile and move on to April. 
After the intensity that preceded it the Time Project presentation at the Stonewall Institute was lovely evening.  I was bowled over by the warmth and receptivity of the audience and as always by the work the group is doing.  K. Dolezal

The Snow Queen's Parlor           2011

This scene appeared in the window of my front door and I tried to capture it.  I found myself mesmerized by the image.  I worked most of the month with various layers and text but in the end I decided to stay with the original photo.  I call it the Snow Queen's Parlor, although I know a queen probably doesn't have a parlor.  I decided not to use the poem I wrote because it seemed the image spoke for itself.  That meant abandoning my plan to produce a broadside, but I have learned that it's best to follow the work when it is leading you.

I hope next month's piece will not deal with snow.  Kay Dolezal
