December Morning on the River 16x20
Most days during this rainy time of year are grey and unremarkable beyond their soppiness, more likely bringing discouragement and misanthropy than cheerful spirits. But occasionally the light is truly magnificent, a blessing and a joy to behold, and one feels so lucky to be out there in Nature when it happens. When the surface of the river is smooth as glass, unbothered by raindrops or breezes that roil across and spoil the reflection, the mirror of the sky more than doubles the impact of the light, and I pause and let it feed my soul and soften the hard edges.
