Craving Colour

Sharbot Lake PP - Leslie Snider

As cold and snow grips North America,

forget working outdoors!

Instead I'm trolling

 my photo archives 

for warm and sunny ideas.

The above scene,  from last summer,

is a sunlit point on Black Lake

 in Sharbot Lake Provincial Park.  

The calm serenity MIGHT be a bit idealised!

Monet's Field - Leslie Snider

This pastel began as a study

 of early morning mist 

rising from my summer field.... 

but soon I found myself fascinated 

by the colour and rhythms

of the clover in the field.

 

First of the Season - 2019

Winter Scene  - 2019 - Leslie Snider

Working from studies and memory,

here are two views 

along the dog walking trail.

The first is early morning.

It's hard to believe that the 401 highway

and the heavy drone of morning traffic 

is behind this row of trees.

Farther down the path 

and later in the day 

I found a different kind of 

peacefulness.
