“Le battement liquide du balancier de l’horloge monte comme une fièvre. Sous la régularité des lignes et des rythmes, le vide croît vers le vertige, comme si le pas à pas, le geste à geste conduisait vers un gouffre. Toutes les saisons sont d’hiver. On aimerait savoir le nom d’une vraie tristesse, un deuil, ou un départ. Mais on redoute davantage une mort à l’envers, une mort de l’instant goutte à goutte perdu sur le parquet glacé”
Philippe Delerm, inspiré par Vilhelm Hammershøi, « Intérieur avec jeune femme vue de dos » (c 1903) (tableau ci-dessus)
happy holidays and merry winter solstice to all! In honor of the new snow outside my window, here’s my watercolor and pencil card design I made this year - fluffed up city sparrows keeping each other warm ❄️ Take care of yourselves and each other out there, friends.

[ID: 1) A watercolor and pencil illustration of 10 gray and brown city sparrows, with feathers so fluffed up they look like orbs, cuddled up with each other for warmth on a snowy tree branch against a winter sunset. The sky at the top of the page is already evening blue, but it shifts through purple to firey pink from top to bottom; 2) The inside of the card, digitally colored light blue with falling snow, with text matching the sky colors from the front. It reads “Season’s Greetings from RI” in dark blue, curly hand-written script at the top. Inside a little white circle, a smaller script says “and a Happy New Year!” over three stacked up purple bird orbs. Then beneath that in shades of purple and pink and red in simple text: “ART: Fluffed up sparrows after a snow, watercolor and pencil, 2021. take care of your neighbors - get involved locally to CLOSE THE CAMPS and FREE THEM ALL!]
Frosty’s lesser known cousin, Salty, ready to rain on your parade. A little “bah-humbug” for the holidays in a revisitation of Frosty’s kin.
Here’s to wishing you a Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays to you wherever you are! Know you’re being thought fondly of, if it’s even just by this one person/snowman
