Show Season (and a misty sunrise)

I've been busy over the past several days selecting work to submit to regional and national shows. It takes a fair amount of planning and desk work to attend to this, which I don't particularly enjoy. However, I do find it very rewarding to send my paintings out in the world, and hear from others about what they see and feel when viewing them. I'm especially fulfilled when the emotions or forces in the natural world which inspired the work, and guided me through it, come across to the viewer.  I also enjoy seeing others' work in exhibitions. So I took care of the computer and paperwork tasks, plus fit in a 6 am sketching walk, finding a lemon sun veiled by morning mist across the stream which is sifting through my being, likely to develop in to a painting :)
