30 Paintings in 30 Days ~ The Color Of Winter ~ Day 14

"The color of springtime 

is in the flowers, 

the color of winter 

is in the imagination."  

~ Terri Guillemets

"The Color Of Winter"
8 x 10" matted Alcohol Ink on Yupo paper

"There is a privacy about winter which no other season gives you. In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other. Only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches, when you can savor belonging to yourself."  ~ Ruth Stout

Sometimes, especially in winter, there is too much solitude, which can lead to loneliness and depression. I am thankful for all you fellow travelers in this online community and for the fellow artists and friends who visit me in person. I had a really good time and lots of laughs with my students yesterday. It was just what I needed to get me back on track. 

Thanks so much for all your feedback and friendship.
