Gray

It has been snowing here all  week. While we definitely need

the moisture, I am concerned about the trees and bushes that

had started budding. We didn't get to 30 degrees today.

I have been doing a little painting, but more digital art which

I have been enjoying.  The above was made from an altered photo

of  a vase of budding branches that I'd cut last week.

I have continued to explore abstract landscapes with oil and wax.

It seems that I've been captivated by grays a lot over the winter

and continuing. I like the depth and relief  that gray gives to  familiar views.

Gathering clouds merge and dissolve, foothills  wink away and then reappear.
