Solstice approach

fall in virginia

sweet autumn, you pass way to quickly for me...

snow or not

It's been another strange winter. Bitter cold, then 70 degrees, flurries, but not real stick with it snow.


Where I grew up in So. Cal snow was something you drove to. The kids are a little bummed we really only got about 1-2 days of decent sled snow this year..

It's beautiful, I know there are those that hate the stuff, but I don't. A quiet, white world. Spring is around the corner. I saw a robin in the garden, which can only mean one thing!

transitions

There is a cold snap now, as the chilly air descends to the forest. There are few tenacious leaves hanging on here and there. Time for lines, paint and color. Even if the colors are subdued and cool. WIP painting going on, wip landscape going on...
