Moonlight

Moonlight

What is it about the night sky that makes us feel in awe?  During the magic hours of night we adjust our eyes to the darkness and peer across the landscape at the silhouettes and shapes.  If there is a moon in the sky, our eyes are naturally riveted to that glowing orb.

No sight is more provocative of awe than is the night sky.

- Llewelyn Powys

Joy in Common Hours

Joy in Common Hours

12x16

This painting painted itself.  I felt like I was along for the ride to see what would happen next.  All I had to do was show up at the easel.  This happens to me occasionally when painting.  Usually it takes a lot more thought, but not this time.  Maybe it had to do with being in the zone.

When my days are uninterrupted, the work flows seamlessly.  Or maybe it has to do with the quality of light at this time of year.  The sunshine streams into my studio now.  There is a promise of Spring.

 It is the first mild day of March.

Each minute sweeter than before...

There is a blessing in the air...

-William Wordsworth
