This tree is a short block from my house and is a beautiful sight after the gloom of “mud season.”

I was stalled mentaly painting a portrait of a favorite
model, Merideth, and I did two quick “warm-up” paintings
that I call Essence of Merideth. This is one of them.
The other is in a private collection.

Prompt: Grand Canyon Skywalk
.
I don’t know whose bright idea building this was…
now I do…Commissioned, owned by the Hualapai Indian tribe,
Grand Canyon Skywalk is part of a grander plan.
It is mysterious and fascinating…despite my first reaction.
I can see a casino built at the edge
…one can jump right away when their riches are gone.
Not a nice thought. Shame on me. Not.
Back to the bridge…intriguing to be up with the birds flying below,
and above. A birds eye view.
I’ve often wondered what it would be to have a birds eye view ….
would they let me bring my palette box ?

.
.
an amazing grace
my eyes, his chin, uncles voice*
three generations
.
============================
* similar appearance in different generations
seems “normal” to me…
but I’m usually taken back when I realize that
a child’s voice sounds like their parents.
My son once called me from the airport, returning
from an overseas tour in the Air Force, and for a
brief second, hearing “I’m in Boston” made me
wonder why my brother was calling me from Boston !

Day 28
cold weather lingers
Everybody Eats free meal
good meal, busy night
.
.
.….
.
.
.I took this photo from my back deck around midnight EST.
It was a cold, bleak night, but the stars and moon were
bright and awesome.
===================================================
January full moon
dead of winter, howling wind
the wolf cries tonight
.
the wolf cries tonight
the moonlight guides his vision
needs love to keep warm
.
needs love to keep warm
distant voice returns his call
moon guides to warmth, love
.
