Snowing (again) at the end of March!


What an interesting week it has been!

We've had big, fluffy snowflakes falling three or more days this past week! And that was after some unseasonably warm weather in February (no complaints there).

We even went out in it a couple evenings ago and took a decent walk, having some fun with the camera.

Although it was very wet, the snow stuck to the ground long enough to pile up a few inches, and still covered our car in the morning. A soggy wall of slush!

I have to say, it is quite charming to see the pink cherry blossoms in full bloom providing a backdrop for swirling frozen white "petals" of snow! (There's my fascination with color again, pink and white in this case.)

The mountains around here have been looking fresh with their dusting of white powder, suggesting a trek to the upper lands might be in order!

Join the fun at Sheryl Brown Art!

Come on over to http://www.sherylbrownart.blogspot.com/ and join the fun! I've been inviting feedback and votes between two paintings, and now I've added a new one called, "Love in Motion!" http://sherylbrownart.blogspot.com/2008/03/thanks-for-votes-now-heres-love-in.html

Meanwhile, I've been letting my granddaughter, Georgia, into my better art pens, and she's showing promise as a color expert herself!

Help me decide which one next!

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Drop on over to my art blog and let me know which of these two paintings you would like to see reproduced next.

"Serenity Rising (from the Deep)" is at this link http://sherylbrownart.blogspot.com/2008/03/which-one-will-be-next.html

and "Calm in the Eye of the Storm" is at this link http://sherylbrownart.blogspot.com/2008/03/and-here-is-door-2.html . Your feedback will be so appreciated!

I'm very pleased to say that "Cloud Dance" has been showing up on walls here, there, and everywhere! The latest is at my office!

Introducing a separate Art blog!

Well, I did it! I set up a separate blog http://www.sherylbrownart.blogspot.com/ to focus on the art.

Not to say I won't continue to post art here from time to time, but the other one will make it easy if you've just got art on your mind! And might particularly want to make an order!

Sheryl's Sunrays will continue to be my general, all-purpose, this is what I'm all about in general, whatever-is-on-my-mind kind of blog. How does that sound?

There is so much to learn about the latest in technology, we just can't keep up with all of it--we have to pick and choose. And I have to admit, I'm far more interested in the communication aspect than anything else. (That must be code for "I just wanna talk!")

So even though I feel a bit nervous getting in over my head with more things to keep organized and maintained, I'm sticking my neck out, and adding a blog!

I have to say, blogspot is pretty user friendly. Being a "What you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) kind of thing, and all. But there are times I can't figure out why the paragraph spacing won't work (so I apologize for where those paragraphs are all crammed together!).

In any case, we're all learning together, right? Press on!
