The world is full of sorrow,
On land or upon the sea,
But when you see these lines,
Have a pleasant thought for me.

Maine Sprout

painting by Colin Page

On September 30 at 6:11am Elizabeth gave birth to our daughter. 8 pounds 11 and a half ounces. Everything about this experience has been amazing for me.

This painting does not have Audrey in it, but it is all about her.

Here are a few pieces I made out in Colorado at the Anderson Ranch Art Center Residency. I made Surfboat because I missed Maine. It’s about 25″ long. Exuvia is about 9.5″ tall. All are stoneware, wood-fired to cone 10.
