It seems to be a prevalent theme for me in January – and I’m celebrating February 1 with a fun-to-paint kayak painting. It’s surely the spirit within me that is drawn to this subject at this particular time of year – the endless variety of blues, purples and greens reflected in a freshwater body of water; the deep greens and burnt sienna of a pine forest; and the rose, yellows, purples and deep blues of an evening sky. After a month of lollygagging around, we now seem to have turned a corner with renewed energy and able to embrace new possibilities ahead.
This week’s painting, Catching the Light, 9” x 9” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, reflects that moment when the view in front of the paddler elicits a prayer of thanks – thanks for this day, thanks for this beautiful light, thanks.
