Spring Rains

(C) 2020 Dale DiMauro

This past week I took the same walk on two successive days with very different results. The results I am talking about are atmospheric. 

The first walk was last Thursday on a cloudy, gray day. As flat as the light was the glow of yellow/orange coming off the the reeds in our local river was stunning. It cast a lovely warm shadow nearly thirty feet across the water. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me.

So I settled for returning on Friday. It too ended up being a gray day with clouds. However, it turned into a rainy walk. I became struck by how green and brown the landscape is at this time of year. This time I had my camera but I was not met with a warm glow radiating across the river. 

This past week I have not painted as much as the pollen has been bothering my eyes. Hopefully, with drier weather I can get back to painting.
