Fading Bloom

A Beautiful Sight While It Lasted.

One December Morning

It Had To Happen Eventually.

Sadly, Summer Had To End

The Changing Of The Seasons Brings New Opportunities!

As The Days Get Shorter

I’m not pleased at all now that gradually there’s less daylight with each passing day. We’ve had enough of a time with one seriously rough winter season already. The cold in conjunction with a global pandemic made it challenging for all.

Time to once again accept a constantly changing reality and make the most of what we have.

I’ll Take All The Sunlight We Can Get.

In An Instant

Reality Kicks In

Very Wet

Weather conditions for today – very wet indeed! But in the spirit of making the most of the situation I decided to take a photo or two just to hopefully develop those skills further.

Jury is still out if there’s been any actual improvement.

Yup, it did rain throughout the day.

Rain at Dawn

Early morning rain can lead to more reasonable temperatures, calmer breezes and near-perfect painting conditions for several days to come. Sure, the ground has to dry over the coming hours but after that the real fun starts!

Sunday Tranquility

Just a peaceful quiet moment at the end of the day.

That’s More Like It!

Fortunately yesterday’s unreasonable weather was short lived and now noticeably improved. Still slightly cold for my purposes but that’s scheduled to improve during the coming days do we’ll just have to be content with sunshine.

In a couple days painting should resume but the shortage of supplies has me concerned. We’re trying to gradually work back from the pandemic so I have to take my lumps just like everyone else.

Tried experimenting with different approaches and materials but the results just weren’t all that impressive. Once you work out a way to create something memorable it’s hard to settle for second best.

But they say patience has it’s rewards so I’ll have to simply work away at planning and taking the occasional photo.

A Saturday Morning Surprise!
