I's Wide Open » More Detail
“I’s Wide Open” may subtly be the best of Ms. Lloyd’s Floral Series. Though not as initially dramatic as ”Wings” or “V” or others, as one studies or lingers, as one follows this special work of art from bottom of stem to top of bloom, one appreciates the variances of tones, of hues. The effortless melding of greens, yellows and gold’s of the stems to the almost bleeding quality of the light to dark blues to the near purple of the blossoms, the quality of which is rarely scene in the colored pencil medium. Note the winding and knotting of the stems.

Too White to Plow » More Detail
This impressive stone and wood structure was built in the late 1830s: the bottom floor used to house cattle during the harshest of winters and the top two floors for the protection of the crude farming machinery of the time and for the storing of hay for the cattle. When viewing this powerful colored pencil illustration, the strength of the structure is obvious. More subtle but no less commanding is the quiet, the indelible stillness. There is an eeriness, a hushness, a reverence to this scene. There is history here.

Every inch of Survivor exudes a unique power. This window and the parts therein have endured severe winters, scalding summers, and horrific human conflict. Through it all, it has remained strong, dependable, now resolute. For more than 100 years, it has protected farmers' valuable livestock from the constantly lurking predators of the surrounding fields and forests. It alone has endured. It is as if there were a sign that read "Not Here! Not THIS Window!
