Another year, another birthday, another milestone.  This here is Kristopher Hedley’s birthday card, it’s a snap shot of us at church in the 1950′s.  And of course there is so love floating in the air.  Happy Birthday to the man of my dreams!

For my January post in Quill them All, our theme for this month was The End of the World.  Here is my thoughts on that: “If luck would have it, when the world was ending by flood, I would find myself on a rooftop alone with one can of tuna fish. And sadly there is no can opener.”

This year I was invited to be apart of a blog entitled Quill them All, which is the brain child of Rick Holland & Kris Hedley.  It is a format where a group of illustrators come up with a theme and each artist supplies an illustration by the 15th of the month.  This month we went with Evil Christmas and boy was I excited.  Every day I drive past this amazing tree stump by the Wallkill River that is shaped like a bear.  I then created this story where a little girl alone in the woods has this bear come out of nowhere and takes her dolly.  Here they are frozen in fear and silent madness.

In December at KMOCA in Kingston, NY you can stop by their Annual Holiday Show and see this piece that I created for this show.  Now that the season had turned darker and colder we have to take in all of the light that we can.  Each morning seems to be so exciting in the Hedley house full of bathrobes, coffee, boxheads and Jack in whatever silliness he has woken up with.  I just wanted to pay homage and reflect on that magical morning time everyday.

At Roos Arts in Rosendale, NY through December 23rd the gallery put together this awesome show entitled Ornamental TOO, where they string various styles of christmas lights all through out the gallery and hang hand made ornaments from them.  This was my second year participating in this show and it just gets better every year.  Also two great things about this show is that the ornaments are priced reasonably from $2 to $40 and people were encouraged to make work from recycled materials.

In November 2011, I was selected to be apart of Team Love Ravenhouse Gallery’s Tiny Winters Diorama show at their Gallery.   For this show I was greatly inspired and excited to make a diorama, I hadn’t made one since grade school and it was beyond thrilling to make this work.  In this piece is the Hedley family exploring the winter terrain with one another complete with boxheads in the sky.
