A good looking couple if I may say so myself

I have been a little bit reluctant to post these pictures, so I have to preface by saying NO we are not engaged... but while we both had Christmas break we wanted to take advantage of our rare time off with no obligations and get our pictures taken by one of the worlds finest photographers! My good friend Jennifer Mayne Bertoch. As you can tell she did an excellent job and we are glad we got them taken ( even if it is a little out of order of things seeing as we are not engaged :) )

Here are a few of my favorites! Its hard to pick! Tell me which ones you like best

Contemporary Art Fix-Decemeber!

This months artist I chose trying to be festive for the winter season. Andy Goldsworthy. He is a very interesting artist who uses nature to create his art. Here are a selection of his works that he made out of only snow, ice and his bare hands. Its really beautiful I think. I showed my drawing students a video of his work and so many of them could no comprehend spending so much time creating something that would be destroyed shortly after its completion, but that is part of the concept behind the work, it has a cycle, a life and death.
So next time you are out in the snow, try making one of these :)
