Orion chases the Pleiades
Orion appears as a harbinger of winter, the season when sailors are supposed to put up their boats and work the land. Said to be a mountain man, Orion hunts the Seven Sisters who flee from him into the west.
And so winter follows spring.
The home-built studio has a wood stove installed especially for winter, and our own rendition of Orion in the panel below the roof. The Hunter is made of jigsaw stars cut into 3/4 inch plywood and connected by black magic marker. Dawn comes a little earlier with the time change. Dusk comes a lot earlier. Funny how that happens.
