Mistified

It was morning, warmer than I thought, and hazier than it had been in a while. I saw the lovely aerial perspective and documented it before it vanished. 

The photo was taken in October in a state park near where I live, before  Miss Autumn had her colorful way with the leaves.

Pines in the Fog

"Pines in the Fog"
5" x 5"
Oil on hardboard
Morning was about to burn off the fog that had hugged a stand of pines throughout the night. It wasn't much, but the breath of moisture that the low-slung cloud afforded sustained those living things another day.

I derived quite a bit of pleasure as I made up this little painting. I've been to a place like this, all crunchy and parched, and recalled it through the tip bristles of my brush.
