HAPPY NEW YEAR!


One year ends, another begins.  Sun rises  on a new year - we turn the pages of the calendar, start afresh.

Wishing a joyous, prosperous, creative, healthy  New Year to each of you!

Red Barn - Long


A dear friend of mine gave me a pad of narrow long sheets of watercolor paper -- I'm painting small snow scenes on these.

BTW, it's in the 70s, sunshiny, not a hope of snow anywhere ... but somehow for the holiday spirit, I paint snow and dream of a white Christmas ...

Winter Creek


Journal - Another rainy day ... Winter rain is different to me than rains in spring and summer.  Somehow, winter rain is darker, heavier, more somber.

And so I paint snow ... for the lightness of it, the joy it brings me ... and because of its rarity ...

Holty




Journal -- my holly is full of red berries, but instead of the traditional colors, thought I'd try something a bit different ...

More Fog


Journal - More fog and rain today -- but that kind of light lends to wonderfully saturated colors!

My Backyard in the Fog



Journal - Leaves still clinging to the trees - but rain, fog and cold signal that winter will soon settle in.
