In hidden gathering places of the Driftless Area...
within the hour between the Old and New Years...
unusually powerful energies can be seen without their facades.

Metro Elves...Santa's Helpers...a Holiday reposting.

One year I painted an "Elves Shop Here" sign for the local gallery/art supply shop
MetropolitanArt, which, sadly, no longer is.
The TownPeople were not believers and challenged such a statement....
so, I took pictures.
These are my "photographs" of the actual Elves that annually came from the North
to use the gallery as their workshop.
No one said another word.

"Jeb is pleased to see Elves use white gloves...leaving no finger prints on paper."

"These elves lost their shopping list...."

"Elves love cookies."

"Mega, (studio dog)........................................is a handy mode of transportation."

"Some Elves are too short."

"After a successful shopping spree...
Elves carry the last of their supplies out to the sleigh....(parked around the corner)."
