Artist’s Musings

a pair of geese flew by; outside my studio window; i’m glad elephants don’t fly

Golden hour's last full moon of 2020

When we are driving around the areas near to Kennett Square, I like pretending we are somewhere in Europe. Some parts of the region could easily pass as countrysides in the UK.
There is a road where you could drive through Delaware, Maryland, and Pennsylvania in under 5 or 10 minutes because that is where their borders meet.
I love the sceneries we pass by, but we cannot safely pullover for photo ops. Just as well because fiddling with a camera can be distracting. I committed to memory this place as best as I could, and the sense of the place at that moment.
For days I would imagine this place as a painting, but it would not come into fruition until my brush touched the canvas and I began sketching and painting.
