I am trying to focus on the slow movement forward, towards my goal of 365 somethings in 2018. A few collages at a time, being glued together, scanned to the computer, then named, numbered and shared on the blog. I’m not very good at focusing on the progress and change, but with a project like this, that is so tangible and ease to count, I can see the pile grow! I love that.

As usual at this time of year I long for sunshine and spring flowers, but so far we’ve had more snow than usual this late in March. Snow in March is okay, but I’d much rather see some the face of Coltsfoot right now on the ground…

Well, at least I get to create some spring colors in the studio. So, the theme of these seven collages is spring, or longing for a spring that will come later than usual to Sweden this year.

But it will come, I’m sure.

Another theme I see is greenery, but of course that also has a lot to do with spring…
