Welcoming The End Of A Long Cold Winter       It is about 4 am when the sun shines brightly through my studio windows and the turquoise sky becons me to come out and feel the sunshine. Glancing toward the forest crowded with tree skeltons that are still bear from the bitter cold, I pour myself a hot cup of coffee. Last week, my studio was sitting on a block of ice. Even with ice cleates on my boots, I slid down my driveway fighting to stay balanced waving my old wooden walking stick. I don't need another broken foot. The last one took five years to heal enough for me to run again and I still have to wear special shoes. Ah, but the sky is beautiful this morning! By 6 am, I was on the deck shaking a little in the cool air. A bald eagle flew by so low that I could see the prey in his mouth. Soon, I was walking down the mountain in the mud. Looking up, always looking up. I couldn't wait to get back and cover a canvas with that bright tourquoise. It is time for the 20 hour daylight again and time to feel the real Alaska.
