Although I live in Santa Monica, where the seasons are usually pretty subtle, we've had some stormy weather that's made me feel cut off from ordinary life. That this coincides with the winter holidays set the focus for this post... The idea of going through mist and fog to a place out of time, a place that changes you, is a compelling theme, familiar in movies such as Brigadoon, Local Hero, and a favorite of mine, given to me by my mom the last winter she was here, "I Know Where I'm Going". It was directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in 1945. Wendy Hiller plays Joan Webster, a woman who has always planned carefully, moved forward with determination, and achieved her goals. She is making her way to meet her fiance, a rich industrialist, on a Scottish island in the Hebrides, Kiloran, to get married. The storms detour her along the way. She first arrives in Port Erraig to meet her boat. Here's a still: Above: Waiting for her boat, though everyone has told it won't be coming due to the weather. Above: The itinerary Above: Giving up on the boat for the moment, she goes to a home where she was told she could stay for the night. Above: Warming up before the fire with the other stranded passengers, locals, familiar with the unpredictability of the local weather. Above: The owner of the house, Katrina, is a dog breeder...here she's coming home in the rain. Above: In from the wet weather... Above: The chaos of the weather and the big wet dogs and the wildness of the place will have it's impact. Above: A map of the place she's planning to go. To enjoy the rest of the story you'll need to rent the movie, though you can see it in pieces on YouTube. It's wonderful. Above: Winifred Nicholson painted a great deal on the Scottish Isles. This one is "Boat on a Stormy Sea", 1928-9. Above: Winifred Nicholson, "Isle of Canna", 1951. She may even have seen "I Know Where I'm Going" 6 years earlier. Above: Winifred Nicholson, "View from my Bedroom", 1960s. The light feels as though it's bouncing off snow. Stormy gray seas have always been a dramatic and inspiring subject... Above: John Constable (1776-1837), "Seascape Study with Rain Clouds at Brighton", 1824-8, London, Royal Academy of Arts. Above: Gustave Courbet (1819-1877), "The Water Spout", 1866, Philadelphia Museum of Art. Above: Winslow Homer (1836-1910), "The Gale", 1883-1893, watercolor Above: Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), "Monk by the Sea", 1808-1810. Double click to see a larger version as the details are worth looking at. Above: Leon Dabo (1868-1960) "The Seashore", 1900 Above: Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) "Snow Storm- Steam Boat Off a Harbor's Mouth Above: Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) "Seascape-Rough Seas, a Squall", 1825 Above: Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851) Above: Mark Rothko "Untitled" 1969. Although this isn't a seascape, there is a strong connection to the Turner painting above. From rough seas to snowy streets... Above: Jean-Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940) Above: James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), "Nocturne: Grey and Gold-Snow in Chelsea", 1876. Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, Mass. Above: This room by Karin Draaijer (her house) in Belgium is a place I'd love to walk out of the painting above and come home to. Here in southern California this is what winter means... Above: Our back yard in the pouring rain Above: A stump of wood out back, covered with lichen after a few days of continuous rain. Above: On the Venice canals, (our Venice here at the beach) I took this last December. Above: My husband, Steven, took this photo with a pinhole camera... a lifeguard tower on a stormy day. We often drive to northern California in December...to Big Sur, or Inverness...places with wet moss and tall pines and redwoods, wood burning in cabins, and expanses of ocean. The pictures below are in Big Sur. Above: Deetjen's Big Sur Inn. Hand built in the 1930s by Helmuth Deetjen... the cabins are pretty much unchanged to this day. Deetjen's was built with reclaimed wood from the canneries in Monterey, and the cabins were designed with echoes of his homeland, Norway. This is one of my favorite places to stay. Above: This photo was taken in the Dining Room at Deetjen's (found here). We've enjoyed many meals at that table. Above: Helmuth and Helen Deetjun in front of the main barn they built. Above: An old photo of a corner of the Dining Room at Deetjun's...it doesn't look very different now. Above: I took this picture at Pfeiffer Beach on one of our December visits to Big Sur. Above: Also taken at Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur. Another favorite destination is Inverness...it's about an hour north of San Francisco. Above: Outside our room at Manka's in Inverness Above: Wooden steps, Inverness Above: The huge fireplace in our room, Inverness. A couple of times when we've been there it's been raining, but I never really want to leave this fireplace or the views beyond anyway. When I do brave the rain this is a place that's wonderful to come back to. Above: Adjacent to Inverness, Point Reyes National Seashore is protected land. At the north end of the peninsula is an old farm...empty now, with the most beautiful group of perfectly simple white buildings. At the end of the day the sunset light glows right through the single rooms inside. Above: Wide expanse of protected beach, Point Reyes National Seashore Above: From A.A. Milnes book "Now We Are Six", illustrated by E. H. Shepard. This was always a favorite image of mine...may have been the seed of my window seat obsession...watching the rain from a warm dry place. Above: Or maybe this picture of a girl sitting on soft cushions, warm in her room with the snow outside is the one. I do try to include window seats in childrens rooms whenever I can. Illustration by Jessie Willcox Smith. Above: Clarence H. White, "Drops of Rain", 1908, from Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Work journal. Dutch painters created scenes that were like movies telling all sorts of stories when you look closely. Above: Pieter Bruegel (1525-69) "Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap", 1565. Looking at this painting and the one below you can really imagine what it would have been like to be skating there. Double click to see some of the details. The ice would have been the meeting place as well as the street. Above: A detail of the bird trap in the painting above it Above: Hendrick Avercamp (1585-1634), "Winter Landscape with Ice Skaters", 1608. I saw this last summer at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Those skaters may have warmed up in places like this... Above: Pieter de Hooch (1629-1684), "A Woman Peeling Apples", 1663 Above: Van Brekelenkam "The Tailors Workshop"1661 Above: Jan Steen (1626-1679) "Peasants in an Interior",1661 Above: Joachim Beuckelaer (1533-1574) "Making Waffles", 1565 Above: Pieter Janssens Elinga (1623-1682) "Room in a Dutch House", 1670 Above: After not freezing since 1997 the Kinderdijk canal finally froze. This is a photo of the skaters out again last winter. . Above: Hans Brinker, Illustrated by N.C. Wyeth Above: Masao Yamamoto Above: Harry Callahan "Weeds in Snow", 1943 Above: Photo by Todd Hido Above: Photo by Todd Hido Above: Photo by Todd Hido Above: Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) "Tanglewood in Winter", 1917. That was a very critical year for Burchfield, when he felt he did his best work. He went back to the paintings done that year when he needed inspiration, and even used them as a core which he added to by attaching panels around the originals to enlarge them. Above: From the NY Times, photo by Ruby Washington, February 10 2010, taken at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. This looks like a fantasy world. Above: Claude Monet (1840-1926) "The Road in Front of Saint-Simeon Farm in Winter" Above: Claude Monet (1840-1926) "The Red Kerchief" The following are a collection of paintings of rooms that would be lovely to warm up in after a walk in the snow... Above: Anne Redpath (1895-1965) "The Mantlepiece", 1947. Above: Anne Redpath (1895-1965) "Figure at a Table" 1948-9 Above: Carl Larsson (1853-1919) "Martina by the Fire", 1908 Above: Duncan Grant (1885-1978) "The Stove, Fitzroy Square", 1936. This is Duncan Grant's daughter Angelica reading by The stove in his studio. Duncan Grant was one of the central members of the Bloomsbury group. Above: Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947) "Work Table", 1926/1937. This painting was in a show I saw at the Metropolitan Museum in the spring of 2009 of Bonnard's late still lifes and interiors. It was really a pleasure to look at this one closely. Above: Edgar Degas (1834-1917) "Interior with a Young Girl Writing", 1905 Above: Vanessa Bell (1879-1961), "Conversation Piece", 1912. She was at the heart of the Bloomsbury group, and designed for Omega Workshops making decorative objects and fabrics. Her sister was Virginia Woolf. Above: Vanessa Bell (1879-1961) "Interior with the Artist's Daughter", 1935-6 And one photo... Above: Attic Bedroom from World of Interiors Above: Wiveton Hall, in Norfolk, where we were fortunate enough to stay for a few days one very cold and wet spring many years ago, as we knew the owner, Desmond MacCarthy. Above: At Wiveton Hall we made pigeon for dinner, with root vegetables dug from the garden, and ate it almost inside the huge fireplace on the right. Our friend was named for his grandfather, also Desmond MacCarthy, a literary and drama critic, who was a member of the Bloomsbury group. William Steig's book, "Brave Irene", is a terrific book about the daughter of a dressmaker who insists on taking the dress her mother has made to the duchess, as her mother is sick and needs to stay in bed. Irene is determined, loyal, persevering, and brave, as she trudges through the snowstorm to reach the duchess. Above: The wind snatches the box from her hands Above: After trudging through wind and snow till it's dark, the light from the duchesses mansion is finally visible! Above: Welcomed inside, Irene is given a good meal and a place before the fire Above: And, a ride home the next morning! Snow in the city....

Above: Childe Hassam (1859-1935) "Street Scene, Christmas Morning", 1892 Inside those snow covered apartment houses warm fires and golden light... Above: Edward Everett Horton and Jean Dixon from the George Cukor movie "Holiday" Above: Walter Gay "Elsie de Wolfe's Drawing Room" Above: Saul Leiter "Canopy", 1958 Above: Saul Leiter "Newspaper Kiosk", 1955 Above: Saul Leiter "Red Umbrella", 1957 Above: Saul Leiter "Snow", 1960 And last of all, Domino and the fire keeping us warm here at home...

Another of the pieces on exhibit
I love the bright colors of Mexican folk art, and I love making little shrines, so these little matchbox shrine facades that just came out at Alpha Stamps make me so happy. For the past week or two, I have been busy making shrines. All the bright colors! The fronts are chipboard, while the little niches are matchboxes. (I have so many extra matches now!) The first shrine I did was all about Cosmopolitan martinis, so I painted the exterior a bright pink with a red border. It's embellished with polymer clay limes and pink leaves, and the niche features a miniature Cosmo drink (a tutorial for making the tiny Cosmo can be found here). The small metal saint is painted in Cosmo colors, and she's offering up a slice of lime! This shrine will be the perfect addition to the Cosmo shelf in my kitchen. My next shrine was made before the Corona virus threat got real, but in light of all the news of the hour, I'm calling this one the "I See Coronavirus" shrine. I used a small loteria card for the niche, and a bright red eyeball at the top. The eye sits on a round filigree setting. I painted the tiny flowers on the filigree to match the colors of the shrine border. The perfect black lines are Dazzles Thin Line stickers. On this next shrine, I first painted the facade a bright turquoise and then searching for an image to feature in the niche. I found the perfect one on the Loteria Matchbox Shrines collage sheet. The saint was painted in the same light turquoise used for the interior of the niche. A bronze metal flower makes the perfect halo for the saint. Metal roses on the sides, along with polymer clay leaves give a bright pop of color. Oh no, it's the devil! This is another shrine where I chose the color first, and then the image. The flames were painted on chipboard, then cut out and glued to the front. I could not resist making a few tiny demons suffer in those flames. This image of the Madonna is just so beautiful. It was the first thing I chose for this shrine. I then picked the paint colors to coordinate with the image. Gold Dresden trim and halos work perfectly with this heavenly theme. All these bright colors look so fun together. I think I'm going to need another set of facades so I can make more. For a list of supplies, click here.
