Blue-sky day






Today turned out to be a  blue-sky day in Delaware County, but it started on the foggy side.  Foggy, but beautiful.  The bottom photo is almost devoid of color, but that is exactly the way the scene appeared - almost a study in grey.  A little while later, the color appeared.  If you look closely in the third picture from the bottom,  there are two horses out in that field.  We don't know who they belong to, actually, even though they are grazing on our land.  But that's OK.  We used to have Cecil's heifers over there until he sold all his cows. And then, for a time,  our pastures were empty. So the horses are welcome guests.  The picture second from the top  was taken inside my studio.   The light for painting today was wonky because, as shown in the top picture, the clouds swept across the sky and in front of the sun thereby changing the effect on the subjects of my paintings.  But I won't complain. Days like today are something of a gift.
