NEW LANDSCAPE PAINTING














Morning Sunlight

I have been trying to paint an early morning California scene, in which the sparkle, the glimmer of morning mist, became the theme itself.
To me, this morning light, is what I call heavenly, because the experience is transcendental. Words, such as "magical", and "noble" come to mind, even if one is not a poet. Of course, in real life, one sees unique events, such as vultures, on the tops of fence-posts, or power poles, spreading their wings, which steam in the early morning sun.
Hellie is a sweet person, who happens to be a very talented and accomplished
artist herself. She owns the pond, and she was kind enough to let me spend some time around it. I did not wish to paint specifically the lake, I just wanted to paint the impressions the visit had on me.
