12 to 14 inches of snow!

If you live where it snows- you know that when you look out at the driveway that needs shoveling of the foot and a half of snow- the weather man will come on and say that you got 3 inches. The way that they measure snowfall is different than the way that you measure it (with snow shovel and back muscles). The schools here are closed for 12 to 14 inches of snow expected. That might look like 3 feet of snow on the driveway.



So I am staying home from the studio today- not because I can not get there now, but more worried about getting home later. The way that the parking is at the studio, I can imagine myself getting plowed in and stuck there.

I do have a few panels here to sketch out- so work to keep me busy. My computer is still sort of hanging on. But the Apple Store Genius Bar guys don't hold out much hope for it lasting very long.

Yesterday I did a nice painting of a teapot from life. Good exercise- but forgot to get a picture. I am still working on my 2008 self portrait and another Norma painting. Neither are finished- but here they are so far, (t does not look like it, but they are both the same size, 24" square).

Stay warm, friends.

Your self is looking great.
I do like it lots.

What do they mean your mac isn't
going to hold out? Is it going to
die? Can't you put a new HD
in it??

It needs a new hard drive and a new logic board too. they told me that it would be over 900 dollars.

The computer is still hanging on. It is fine for surfing- and seems to have slowed or stopped deleting itself after I deleted 20 gigs of stuff. I can not add new applications and it still wont copy and paste- but for that much money, I am waiting for a new one.

Probably not. If it is still working my daughter will use it for my space.
