Fall has slipped into winter. Thought I would share this new painting to commemorate the season finale. I rarely varnish and frame work as soon as I complete it but this painting cried out to be fully finished. I do not generally chase the season when I am painting but I follow my enthusiasms and nature is always sparking my imagination.
I love the winter solstice. The days will once again stretch out and we can look forward to the light. In the meantime we can enjoy the low sun magic and winter landscape.
Shadowed
Darkness lurks along the edge. The brightest day may bloom from night. Left on a forgotten road it always finds the way.
I have been pretty obsessed with the sunrises and sunsets on Lake Pend Oreille. Conveniently I have a tough time sleeping during normal hours so that makes it easier to witness the incredibly early dawn.
Not to complain but I’m always a little sad after the summer solstice. The first official day of summer is also when the daylight starts to dwindle. That’s life in a nutshell.
