The similarities of artists Marc Chagall and Dori Stuffer

I have often thought of Chagall while viewing  German Artist, Dori Stuffer's paintings.

The incredible color, the dreamlike quality,

 the visions that tell a story.

(Could this be Dori's Bavarian Forest the angel flies above that Marc Chagall has painted?)

February Twilight

I stood beside a hill

Smooth with new-laid snow,

A single star looked out

From the cold evening glow.

There was no other creature

That saw what I could see--

I stood and watched the evening star

As long as it watched me.

A very long and very cold winter has a firm grip on us.

No, I have not wished it away…. I know that soon enough the 

Winter of 2014 will be but a memory.

I dress warm when it's cold and drink hot soup.

I look long at the shadows on snow

 and listen to the quiet.

Hibernating with Paint

Hidden inside, I work on experimenting with just two colors

and a little white in these Acrylic sketches.

Northern Illinois gets polar vortex.

        We are experiencing unusually cold temps today. Colder than Siberia!

Some Arctic air will come down to visit us for maybe two days. The wind chill could be -40 degrees below zero.
