North Fork Fog

 The clouds descend upon the river in the early Fall creating a misty feel to the air.  Mt. Si looms in the background but on this day it's hidden behind the fog.

Early Dawn - new painting

One of my favorite times of day is the early morning at dawn.  As the landforms emerge out of the night sky the soft, diffuse light spreads over the trees and hills and water, sometimes with a peachy pink note and others a violet, muted hue.  In a sort of time-lapse movie each day begins with its own distinct feel.
