This has surely been a year of firsts. . . beginning with the national lockdown last February to a summer of social distancing, to new frontiers for back-to-school this fall, and then on to winter. In northwest Wisconsin, winter is always long – but it seems especially so this year. We are the primary caregivers for my Mom so we’re committed to being cautious about avoiding crowds, staying close to home and wearing masks.
But it has also been a month of joyous moments! A couple of sweet memories include gathering on a bright sunshine-y day with some of our family to celebrate my birthday at an outdoor skating rink, and being able to get away for a couple of days with Paul to explore Door County and deliver art to the Plum Bottom Gallery at Egg Harbor. We have so much to be thankful for!
And there are quiet days for painting! This week’s painting, Shadows and Light, 9” x 12” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures the deep shadows of a woods and grassy meadow balanced against the light of a birch tree.
