Every year around this time, I start sketching more with
graphite. The subtle tones of gray that are so easy to impart with a pencil
seem to fit well with the flat light, overcast skies threatening rain, and the
mostly colorless trees.

Yet just when I become wistful that most of the color in
my neighborhood has blown away, I turn a corner, and I see a sudden spark of
fire again.

The localized burst of color makes it that much more impressive. Nice!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joan! That's how it felt to come around the corner -- a burst of color in the middle of all the gray.
DeleteWhat a lovely graphic essay this is!
ReplyDeleteThank you, John!
