Hi guys and gals! My break from blogging is over. My end of winter panic is done. I'm back!

Back in Missouri there was a saying that if you don't like the weather, give it a minute to change. In Alaska, the same can be said about the seasons. We are close to break-up here. The days are getting longer, the temperature is raising, and the snow is beginning to melt.

I have gone from deep winter straight to summer. I got the call a few days back to get my helicopter ready for summer. I was going to New Mexico on the 3^rd. That all changed about an hour ago. I now have three days and then I leave. My summer arrived overnight.

When the helicopter is ready, I'm going to fly with it from New Mexico to Alaska, going through Canada. I'll be sure to take pictures!

Check these out. I've been practicing my frames. This is about third or fourth generation now. Now, I understand what turns art into fine art.

These frames are all solid wood and were cut from used pallets. I shaped and fit everything, and finally figured out how to make a fitting housing for beautiful works.

After I couldn't sell the mushing print, Kitty got me to set down and critique my work. I screwed up royally. The work was sub-par and I ruined a really nice print. I didn't give up though. I learned from my mistakes and these are the result.
