Early morning with a brilliant sun rising….warm glow to the horizon, oranges, pinks and coral, glowing in a pale blue sky……yee-haa, a good day to be alive! A day filled with inspiration, following days of gray skies and dormant plant life, stick trees pushing against a drab horizon and snow covered hillocks…Makes one want to pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep…Today is a great day to paint, en plain air, as although it is chilly and crisp, not brutally cold. I am not a landscape painter or photographer, but never stop loving the beauty of a good landscape, one filled with deep three dimensional horizons, color, interesting trees, mountains….my spirit soars…let the adventure begin!
