Shadowed
Darkness lurks along the edge. The brightest day may bloom from night. Left on a forgotten road it always finds the way.

Rainbows really have a magical feel. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were no scientific explanation.
Dark Thoughts
It is a stream darkly meandering.
Negativity eroding the shore.
Stay dry, the current is strong.

I often hear about Holiday depression. This year I seem to be feeling it. A terrible dread and sense of hopelessness. Perhaps it is a chemical thing. Maybe something to do with the sun failing to rise above the hill. I posted something regrettable last night on WordPress, I am sorry for that. I hope everyone is doing well this Holiday Season.

In my life I have felt like a negative soul. Still it seems the act of creation is an act of optimism.

A brooding forest scene. Experimenting with some new ideas.

Another autumnal painting inspired by North Idaho. The leaves have pretty much all fallen now. I was meaning to do more fall imagery, maybe I will do some larger ones as the seasons change.

Heroes
We noticed your shuffle. My hero years shorter. I am your failed echo. My own dragging an imitation.
Dark Pictures
I paint a dark picture. Seeking light I have known. The palette has shifted.
