Sunrise over a winter landscape

 

W&N watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm

“Nature is painting for us,
day after day,
pictures of infinite beauty
if only we have the eyes to see them.”
— John Ruskin

Autumn Sunset - 1 and 2

Today is the last opportunity 

I have to live intensely, 

as no one can assure me

that I will see tomorrow’s Autumn.
