Spring will Come... Eventually

As we finish up the last days of January I'm finding myself celebrating each tiny sliver of sun that peeps through these heavy Michigan clouds.  Here are two pieces that I made last fall while beginning to experiment with the marriage of handmade paper on canvas. 

I painted the edges of the canvas too so they don't need to be framed and they actually look more "complete" than these scanned, cut off images.  (How to get rid of the glare so the pictures actually look like the real thing?!?)  Anyway, I like the results and plan to be doing more of this type of work this year...
