November Light

 November has always been a hard month to love for me.

I have always associated November with the season closing down, harsh cold winds and grey miserable skies. This year has not been like that at all. I have been lucky enough to gather some great photos while taking my dogs for their daily walk. 

I live right on the edge of a main street where there are shops and restaurants but to the other side is a subdivision. It's an older community so there are large trees mingled with a variety of gardens.


The sun is making the tree colors absolutely stunning!


The sun is so low in the mornings that I can barely see even with sunglasses on.


This was taken on more of an overcast day. I still like the flow of the leaves and the branches.


Color and light. Beautiful.

There are some dismal areas and sometimes its hard to find the beauty, but I did!
This photo is a beauty! 
I was just there at the right time. The ravine is overgrown and a tangled mess that is less than inviting. The light and the early morning dew were just perfect.


There is one house on this small side street where someone years ago created a beautiful design and the owners since have kept up with the theme. Their fences are horizontal (something unheard of everywhere else in the area) and have been for years. They have grown these grape vines up along them and they are full. The leaves are just starting to fall off now so you can see the grapes. The grapes will hang on all winter. It is a great visual against the snow.

I hope I can grab more photos before the weather turns.
This November has been wonderful so far.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
