Bright lights

5x7 acrylic on paper with absorbent ground

Today the pond is gray, the sky is gray and the only bright spots are the joggers with their neon green jackets.  The water is open in parts and frozen in others, making skating only a dream.  We've had quite a bit of snow and cold weather but it's been mixed with thaws and rain.  Tonight it's supposed to both rain and snow-great :(   It's been a challenge to find a subject to paint lately so I'm posting one I did yesterday from a photo I took after sunset in the late fall.  It was fun to do a night scene from the fall and snap some color in on this dreary day.

The incredibly blue sky

sharp ice
under the soft snow with
blue sky shadows over
duck prints disturbing the even-ness
of snow with
reflections all over and
