soft twilight

Not only different (warmer!) weather is available to the landscape painter’s imagination, but different times of day also.  I can luxuriate in a never extinguished twilight.  When I go back to it, adding a few more dabs of paint, I get to wander among those trees again and see the pale rose light.

a brand new year

It’s a good time for making plans, for setting goals, for dreaming big dreams.  A whole beautiful year lies ahead — a huge expanse of time waits to be filled, to be lived.

I hope that your 2017 was good and brings you many rich memories.  I hope that your 2018 will be wonderful.

Happy New Year!
