Shadows and Light

It’s that strange time of the year – between winter and false spring and winter and real spring! Last week, our yard was drying up nicely and we even celebrated by setting up the picnic table and chairs on the deck! This week, we are back in the crush of winter with 8 inches of snow/snirt (really dirty looking snow) and cold temperature again. The birds have been in “feeding frenzy” mode at the feeders for the past few days and even the recently arrived Robins are resorting to eating sunflower seeds in lieu of worms!

It seemed a good time for a study in light and shadows. This week’s painting, Evening Shadows, 8” x 12” watercolor, captures the silhouette of a sailboat moored off the shore of a darkening landscape.
