Hope Valley Light





Hope Valley light in the snow.  Walking in the cold and taking in the brisk mountain air, and then just around the bend, there it is- a special late autumn light setting a lone tree aglow against the dark green of the pine trees surrounding it.  These are the moments that I cherish and make me want to go out again hoping to eventually see that unplanned discovery of light that can only be revealed outdoors and capture that moment in a sketch or a painting.  This watercolor was of such a discovery during last year's late autumn in the Hope Valley area of the Sierra mountains.  Wanted to share with you and wish you a warm holiday season.
