SUNRISE

The upside to our shorter days is to watch the sun rise over the horizon at 7am, rather than 5am!

NEW FLOWER FAIRY

CICELY MARY BARKER'S flower fairies remains a classic & inspirational. I wonder if her fairies are children that she knew or pull from her imagination? I usually start off my flower fairy with a specific kid that I know. At a certain tender age, they are in their own little world. By spending time with them, the magic comes thru at the in-between moments.

CLASSIC COMPOSITION

This is a classic CLAUDIAN composition: a body of water in the middle, flanking trees on either side, & gentle mountains beyond to convey a calm & pleasing view of the Catskill Mountain.
