First painting of 2009

I just did this one yesterday evening, and came very close to signing it '08. (I'm sure it will happen at some point, likely repeatedly, for the next few months at least...)  The photo is a little glare-y. 

These were some kind of seed pods I found in the park yesterday. Not sure what kind of tree they're from (I don't think they could've come from the evergreen they were near), but they're beautiful things. When I'm out walking the dogs and picking up gorgeous little bits of nature to take back to the studio, I always figure that all those "normal" people out there (who are doing "normal" stuff, like pushing their kids on the swingset or riding their bikes) are thinking: There goes that crazy lady again who always walks looking with great concentration down at the grass, picking through the leaves and debris.
