In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

A red maple leaf means autumn. Grrr!
I want green pics!
SusuPetal:
Yes, I have the progression backwards I fear. When we finally get some green here, I'll post it just for you Susu! :)
Red maples open with red leaves - I remember many a spring morn in central park looking for migrant birdss among unfurling red leaf buds...
John:
There you have it, SusuPetal, John has set us both a'right! :D
Hmm. Finland is a different thing.
SusuPetal:
Even here, the red maple may be a different type of tree, I believe. In a few weeks, I'll get some pictures of the sugar maple leaves that are likely what you and I have.
Red Maple is so-named for its red winter twigs and buds, red spring flowers, and for its tendency to have red summer petioles and red fall foliage. The red twigs of the first year's growth change abruptly to silvery-gray on the second-year wood, which is most evident in winter.

I'll be keeping a sharp eye out for all of the maples this year. :)
